Once I saw the MU Constrictor figure previewed at Toyfair, I saw my next Batman head. I think it captures the look of the Jim Lee version of Bats. Now for the rest of the body to follow.

Going a little year one with the body style and I wanted this to go with the Bane figure so he is more scale to it.

I am working on an alt yellow pouch belt also.

Finished the cape. Only thing I will be changing from this point are the legs. I will be swapping these for the MU Punisher legs so it is more of a combat style boot.

I really like this. Im diggin' the mean grill. Very All -Star Batman. This would also be great for a Dark Knight Returns Frank Miller Batman. Use a bulkier body, maybe some battle damage. I like where this is going.

Seeing it with the torso i'm even more impressed. This is going to be a great Bat custom.

that is looking great !

question (or suggestion) -- are you running wire through the top edge of the cape?

if you were to use a black-coated wire through your loop already there, you could make
some awesome mcfarlanesque poses!

Is the whole body from Constrictor as well?

I like what you're doing here, Will. I also like the idea of alt belts, and a combat boot style if you eventually upgrade. You have me thinking I should have gone with a removable belt for my bats as well.

The paints are super clean. Really dig them. Only thing I'd consider modifying at all (and not sure what to tell you) is the way the cape sits around the neck. Seems to ride up just a touch, but it could just be the pic.

Yeah, for the cape you might look into what Mattel did on the DCSH line, with a plastic upper portion and the cloth projecting from it just above the shoulders. My main critique would be the length of the cape, and the lack of the scalloped "bat" detail along the edge of the cape. The actual figure is about as perfect as I can see anyone getting. Very, very nice.

Yes the body and head are on point. The cape could use some work, great job over all.

Thanks Everyone!

The entire figure is Constrictor minus the gloves.

There is black wire threaded through the seam of the cape for action shots lol!

At some point I do intend on also making some alt capes also.

Again thanks all for the posts!!
