Burger King Woody glow up. I re-sculpted the mouth and re-painted the wonky eyes. Added real jeans, leather belt and a brass belt buckle. Plan to fix up the west too so it stays closed better.
>>11565742Thanks anon. Great stuff.
So I'm working on a custom Batman inspired from Battinson that's meant to evoke Hasbro's style of figures. It's more or less done, but right now I'm genuinely torn between using a fabric or plastic cape. On one hand, the wired fabric cape gives more posing options, on the other hand the plastic cape cuts a nice silhouette around the collar/cowl. It's worth noting that the plastic cape isn't glued down to the edges so it should sit even more flush if I end up going with that option. For the fabric cape, this is about as flat as I can adjust its folds around the shoulders.I kinda asked about this in the Marvel general, but I'm curious for people's advice and which one looks better? While I originally planned this custom with the fabric cape in mind, later I found myself really liking how the plastic cape forms a nice silhouette around the head/neck area with how clean it looks laying flush around the collar. I already own the Mafex, Figuarts 2.0, and Mezco 1/12, so it's not like this will be my only Battinson figure. In this case, I guess I'm more concerned on the balance of functionality vs aesthetics. Thoughts?
