Halle-fucking-lujah, i've been hoping the'd do this for so long.

Shame it's too late to get a cloth scarf for Snipe, but still a good sign if it turns out well and they stick with it.

Why can't they do the same for Doctor Strange?

I know how you feel, it's too late for so many damn figures.

If they do a sequel it'll probably get a figure with the new style capes, but Strange really aught to have to been the first one to get this treatment.

My friend and I each bought one, largely in hopes the wired capes catches on with them.

Omegamon's cape was awful and a complete fucking lie. It was supposed to be white on the outside and red on the inside. Instead we got some kind of salmon pink looking inside.

He'd of been better off with plastic capes.

I meant to say outside. The inside is red, outside is salmon pink.

>wanting wire cape gimmick that will literally break within five months
No thank you.

Only way wire is any good is if you just leave your figure alone in a case unused for its lifetime.
Might as well buy a statue at that point.

I've had wire caped figures for years and none of their wires have broken.

The only way the wire might break is if you repeatedly make radical sharp bends at the same point in the wire back and forth over and over and over and over again, literally dozens of times, which makes no sense since that's not how the capes would move in the first place.

That's what the costume looked like in the movie.
the chest section of the armor was really thick.

The torso articulation is what gives him tits. It sits higher than how it appears in the movie.
Pretty dumb way to articulate a male.

If you look at the actual costume from the side, you see that those chest pads stick out more than an inch from the ab section. It's REALLY pronounced in dark knight rises.

Cut under the rib section (like a normal human being). Heck, he's already got those separated armor panels in that area.

yeah, but that's real life that's done in a very fine manner.
Just like real clothes on toys and articulating toys based on anatomy, it's a stupid way to do it. Toys need to cheat to make it look good.

The Revoltech did it right.

the point was that the big chest, and actually even there being a cut there, is costume accurate.

You can see how the chest piece and ab piece are separated to allow for him to bend forward in that picture.

Wait, so the Figuarts is actually accurate to the movie costume in regards to where the articulation would be in the torso?

Considering how the cut under rib areas are on the IM figures are borderline useless, I guess this would make do.

Yeah, the costume had to have a cut there under the chest or else it would have warped when bending and/or restricted movement significantly.

But it looks like shit because there's a 4" scaled gap, instead of the 1/5th" gap that comes from being a human in a flexible costume.
Again, toys require cheats that aren't accurate to look good and actually look accurate.

You can clearly see that the gap isn't anywhere as big as what you are making it out to be.

a 4 inch scaled gap would be a gap from his chin to just past his nose.

Funny, because that's exactly as exaggerated it looks.
That's why other people are saying it looks like he has tits.
It plainly does not look good, unless you're into that sort of thing.

It doesn't look like that though. Not to mention, since it's an SHF, it's probably a balljoint with a hinge below, like most figuarts over the past couple of years. So you can just push it in if you want.

Hmm, interesting. The only wire cape figure I have is Figma Drossel but that's a fine cape. Hopefully this will be good, provided they don't use shitty Mezco-tier coarse fabric.

Are you denying the fact that me and other anons have been saying it looks like he has boobs?
Or are you just going to claim samefag to deny something so obvious?

>So you can just push it in if you want.
Great, and how many poses will that look good in? Seems pretty dumb to limit the poses you can do just to make it look like he doesn't have boobs, because of some retarded engineering.

pre-ordered this figure on a whim. not familiar with the figuarts toyline, only collecting figma and medicos sas. should i expect to be disappointed? or could this be one of the better variants of the Nolan Batman?

Figuarts is pretty great generally for quality.

Expect it to be pretty good.

They've been doing better than figma lately on a lot of things, especially anything based on real people.
