So this was not a tutorial I had planned on doing. However, this issue keeps coming across my work bench. I'll show you how to add pegs to the cape if your cape came without them for some reason!

I'd really like to see you make videos on customizing as well, seeing how knowledgeable you are about to joints and stuff, like a vid on how to prevent paint rub for beginners or something along those lines !
@billmaru3 жыл бұрын
If I did customs still I would. Unfortunately, I do not have time for customs. To be honest the joy died in them for me unless I am doing them for myself. Once it turned into a second job and I lost creative control it wasn't worth losing my mental over. Had to cut it out of my life.

This could be a good way of trying to shorten the cape. I've been thinking of a way of trimming it down a bit and this could be a nice way of doing so I just don't know if I want to remove the cowl piece on mine.

Great video keep it up, I’m getting the black version so I will have to wait for mine and hopefully sense it seems that the cape will not have as much cloth on it like the this vers. But if mine has problems I’ll definitely try this.

This is SO AWESOME!!! What a genius. Great job and thanks for sharing. With that said though, the mere fact we need to be doing this on a $100+ figure is unacceptable.
@Chalor.3 жыл бұрын
It's less than $100 figure. At any given time (including the shipping), it would be about $85. Buy from AmiAmi, Amazon Japan, etc.

Great Fix. I am thinking of trying bendy wire instead of screws.

I would suggest heating it up and prying it out gently at the entrance point with a punch.

I don’t know if I’m running into the same problem but I recently got a mafex figure for the dark Knight returns Batman. In my figure one of the wires is not connected into the cowl so one side of the cape Can’t hold the same poses the other side can.

He eviscerated and totally destroyed this Batman figure! The way this figure is built, there’s absolutely NO reason why he should have done this. He warped the bottom of the cowl and put wider holes into the chest of the figure. The way he did that and the length of the screws could possibly mess with the plastic on the butterfly joints in the shoulders. This was destruction disguised as “fixing” an issue. That cape doesn’t even slide over the shoulders and then back behind the figure anymore how it was designed to now. If you have this or the other mafex Batman figures, don’t do this. You’re only going to destroy your figure because as you saw at the end of the video, he could no longer slide the cape backwards for fighting poses. He obviously didn’t read the directions for his figure.

@@ludotoyhunter8492because there’s this funny thing that once you pay for something you own it and it becomes your property. People modify hot toys all the time and those are premium figures I wouldn’t class Mafex as premium. Who are you to tell people what they can and can’t do with what they own?
