Fantastic tutorial! One of the things that bugs me most about the Macfarlane figures is the rubber capes so I'm gonna try this for sure! Can't wait to see the shots you get with this guy!

[@sirdork730]

Really appreciate it dude!! Good luck with the cape! It’s fun to make 😆

[@porko882]

I hope they make more with cloth capes, They only have made one and it is a pretty good cape.

[@chickedy134]

@@porko882 which one was that

[@RobProb-X]

Theres som mcfarlane figs that arent dc multiverse but have wired cloth

[@rjstubbs]

Simple yet effective 👌 And where it's now a posable cape, any imperfections in the sewing actually adds to the pose. Well done! Batman losing an arm, typical McFarlane figure 😆 🤣

[@sirdork730]

So glad you think so dude! Thanks!! And yeah that was definitely a surprise 🤣

[@fullpowercollectibles5861]

Awesome Cape tutorial man!!! 🤩 I didn’t think about drilling small holes to attach the cape, brilliant idea 💡

[@craigcook3389]

Brilliant work!! Thanks for the video! Helpful as always!

[@sirdork730]

Thanks so much dude!!

[@ryanpowell2540]

Awesome idea, man. The vinyl look of the cape really nails it.

[@MrPhotodoc]

Congratulations! You made it to Your Daily Dose of Internet.

[@robertshaw6468]

Oh my god this is perfect timing! I just tore my Batman figure apart and still need to make a cape for him!

[@MacsWorldEntertainment]

That was an excellent tutorial!! Ok, i'm off to make capes now!

[@sirdork730]

Yes!! Can’t wait to see your cape!

[@chadscreativecorner]

@@sirdork730 is there a way to attach the cape without needing to drill holes?

[@lukestein5138]

Great video and the cape looks awesome. Looking forward to the batman video next weekend!

[@dr_awesome_1010]

Not sure how this will translate into lego photography and figures but I will definitely give it a go! (even if I end up using paper because cloth is too big 😂) Nice tutorial! 👏🔥

[@porgstew3657]

If you want to, you could probably just sew two capes together, cut it to the shape, and put in some tiny tiny copper wire. Just an idea

[@damdamdam1234]

Love it, dude. I was waiting for this and is just what i need. I wanted to do this on my figures too, thank you so much. 🙏 Greetings from Argentina. 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

[@jpo-artwork]

That great creativity right there 10/10

[@tmw_84_official]

Very nice! Makes a big improvement. 🦇

[@johnnieturner433]

Very cool work!

[@sirdork730]

Thanks a lot!

[@Nerfherder_photography]

Very cool tutorial. Thanks for posting! The part where you were drilling into his collar bone horrified me because if that drill bit slipped it was going right into your thumb. Thanks again though and I think I've said it before but if not, you have totally inspired me in this hobby. You're always the first person I tag in my posts because I think you are the best and you introduced me into the hobby.

[@jakea75]

Awesome video man. I like the whole leaving wire at the end and drilling holes into his collar area. One of my greatest challenges with custom capes is how to attach them. Some of the Batman figures such as Arkham asylum, Keaton 1989, you can just put the entire cape under the neck of the cowl. Designs like tbis one, baffleck and others are much more intricate. Thanks for sharing this video. It’s very informative and helpful.

[@sirdork730]

Hey i appreciate it dude! So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@nikstoypicss]

That's really not bad at all Jared really great job I'll definitely use this tutorial in the future super helpful keep it up man!!

You did a really good job

Thanks so much!! 🙏

[@denxylboart4403]

A tip for sewing while keeping a wire in place try using a safety pin make it less frustrating for you 😉 and dude your work is great don't worry about not being professional the fact that you're trying and pulling off something good is all that matters 😉 😀

[@sirdork730]

Oh wow yes that’s a super smart idea! Thank you! I appreciate the support and kind words 🙇‍♂️

[@HuntertheTTV]

Batman action figures looks amazing but I probably won’t drill holes in my action figure but thank you for the tutorial

[@sirdork730]

That is definitely not a necessity 😂 but it works well! Thanks for watching!!

[@chyc3698]

Cool video, I've made a custom cape before for one of my little mini figures it was okay just to say I made it just a first time for my figures but this video gives me a better idea on how to make better custom made capes.thanks for this video

[@sirdork730]

Sounds awesome! Thanks for watching!!

This great for me I got the Marvel Legends Moon Knight 3 months and I'm not a fan of the rubber cape so this is perfect thanks

[@Lordred1069]

Nice & easy! Great the video I'm looking for because I wanna make some capes for various figure like Spawn that I have. Thanks!

[@sirdork730]

Really appreciate that! Good luck with spawn!!

[@anthonytuccillo6274]

Love how you just rolled up and got one off the shelf, I've only seen 1 in real life and it was in a scalpers cart already 🙃

I made a custom cape without wire because I didn’t know how to, but know I think I will make a wired one👍👍

[@sirdork730]

So glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!!

[@moniquem8052]

For a possible video, could you explore maybe DIY-ing the duct tape accessory that comes pictured with the McFarlane Riddler figure but is not included. That would be so sick

[@porko882]

I used a pair of faux leather spandex tights, but I cant find them anymore at Walmart. I recommend a fabric adhesive like liquid stitch, it works great and stays rubery I have also experimented using it for rubberizing fabric.

[@Mr.8point5]

I literally just found out about you through the Wonder World video/article. Good stuff.

[@sirdork730]

Awesome!! Thanks so much for supporting!!

nice video dude it help me to custom my mando black series cape

[@anonimo-muy-anonimo5057]

Hey you could also bend the part of the wire in a circular shape so if you have a very sharp end of the wire you bend it and the layer is no longer broken by the edge :)

[@ericjohnson9100]

I was just looking for a way to put capes on McFarlane batman figures and I see this was posted 4 hours ago so thanks

[@miggy7334]

I will definitely use this tutorial for that one into the spiderverse scene "spiderman doesnt wear a cape"

[@sevazakharenko8176]

Alternate Title: How to make the perfect cape shape. This is such a sick idea!

[@sirdork730]

Thank you Seva!!! 🥰😍🥰

[@TheEdorizo]

I rather pay the extra money for a cause cape for McFarlane Toys I don't like the vile capes and you are right it does kind of effect the articulation cloth as a lot better

[@ClaytonPZ]

But remember, Batmans cape in the movie never had that angular cutouts like a bats wings because the cape morphed into a wingsuit instead of a glider.

It was AWESOME!

[@vdamp6396]

if you dont mind me asking which fabric did you use? i am trying to make a cape and follow this

[@sirdork730]

It’s a black 4 way stretch vinyl! You can find it at Joann or Spandexworld.com

[@markgriffith3076]

Just earned a sub from me, well done awesome brother 🙌😊

[@sirdork730]

I appreciate it! Thanks so much!!

[@LRon-ef7ni]

I wish they gave the option of plastic or soft goods capes.

[@sirdork730]

I agree!!

[@DavidLee-ev8kb]

Hey partner. Fantastic video. Next time try using fabric glue and it will be much easier than sewing

[@tuantrinhngoc3003]

My fingers hurt .... Now your backs gonna hurt , landscaping duty for YOU LOL

[@sirdork730]

Amazing reference! 😂😂😂 ⛳️

[@TennoFox897]

Do you think that this would work with Gunpla, as well? Because I have these two fabrics that I picked up recently that I want to make into a custom flowing and poseable cape for one of my recent kitbashes. Also, wouldn't it be better to use a fabric glue instead of super glue?

[@sirdork730]

This would absolutely work with gunpla! It’d probably look sick actually! And yeah fabric glue is also something that works well with the capes. You can probably get away with using glue instead of sewing!

[@TennoFox897]

I just may do that, actually, though use some sewing to reinforce it, as well. Might even try learning to use a sewing machine, too!

[@buzzsawgr81]

I don't know why mcfarlane doesn't do more cloth capes. I have the year two batman and he comes with one and it looks great. I need to do this for my black series mandalorian since that plastic cape doesn't properly go around the jetpack.

[@pandamicrophone]

🔥🔥🔥

[@brocKain]

You can use an old Tshirt right? That's what I'm thinking of doing for my custom spawn lol

[@sirdork730]

An old tshirt would work great!

[@Jacobflamecaster]

I only have one figure with a cape and I love to do this but it’s really not cost effective for me at this point

[@ATLbravesfan109]

Couldn’t you just super glue it all instead of sewing?

[@nothappenin5740]

Thanks I’m gonna get throne spawn but want him to have a cape without ruining either of my mk ones

[@porgstew3657]

I tried gluing instead of sewing. It changed the color a little but it works fine if it is not right next to the camera. Mando in beskar figure

[@lucan_shoots_toys]

Yes love this you can also slide that wire like in the general grievous cape. Great tutorial Jared!!! You the man!!!🤘🤙📸💥🙏🙏🙏
