One of the reasons why I love your Chanel is cause you dont afraid to custom your figures to make then look better in your way, and even more you teach all collectors how to make them, I custom almost all my figures to make them better at least to my eyes, and thats whats matter, thats my version and Im stick with it!! XD Your videos are awesome keep going all that work!

Holding out for the Mafex Jim Lee Superman. Nice mod👍

Yeah. I'm not confident in doing this... but it looks great

Wow, that turned out really good! I really wish McFarlane used a wired cape.

“You also enjoy a cloth cape from time to time”. Looks good. I don’t know who has more time on there hands me for watching cape tucks or you becoming a master cape tucker. Lol 😂

Can you do the Batman figure next??

Man, sticking it in the hole is tougher than I thought!!

Thanks for the video brad. I was so wrong about the McFarlane figures when I saw them on shelf the chest piece looked perfectly fine.

Brad definitely you are the Brave and Bold!! Good job!!

I need this badly, beautiful work and video, great job

Totally doing this with the little Spinmaster figures.

Now that is a proper Mcfarlane Dc Multiverse Superman.

Love your work Brad! Dunno what I'd do without your channel man 😊🙏👍

Outstanding! Thanks for the tip :D

Nice job and that one little adjustment makes a world of difference for the overall aesthetic of the figure.

This is the second time I've seen a tutorial from you, Brad. I gotta say, I'm glad you've repeated this tutorial, as it helps me retain the method in which you tuck the cape into the figure. I'm dying to add a custom cape to my Essentials Superman with Gary Frank Chris Reeve headsculpt. I can't remember the specific name for the figure it was, I just remember the gray Kryptonian guard type uniform complete with Pistol belt, based on Gary Frank's story line. I held onto that headsculpt for years, as if it were the Maltese Falcon. I've been waiting to utilize it, and when I saw the other tutorial and realized you were able to fit it onto the neck peg, I did the same and fit a Cyborg Superman left fist onto that Essentials custom. I'm extremely happy with it because I ALWAYS wanted a really good Chris Reeve Superman figure. Now I'm building up courage to make a custom cape completion without messing it up. 😬

It looks nice, but only when he's in a standing pose... This Superman comes with a stand, he's meant for flying/floating poses, and the cape just wouldn't look good in those poses... A wired cape would be the best option for this figure.

Great cape tutorial, but I'm more impressed that you got him to stand. I can't get mine to stand for the life of me.

Wow you did a great job I love Superman look you have Doubles that’s awesome

This video just saved me a BUTTLOAD of time and nasty final results! Was trying to get my new Thor custom wired cloth cape to fit correctly- trying to figure out how to glue it on. But drilling holes to jam in the thing not only solved the adhesion problem, but allows for gathering it into a really nice "pucker". I take back almost every bad thing I've ever said about you Brad- except the blue hair thing.

Thanks again Brad! I just grabbed another Supes and a cape in case I ruined it lol. I was going to use glue but, I’m happy to do it this way.

Hey brad, loving the channel and i hope to do the cape tuck myself (once i get an adequate replacement) but i have to implore you to go one step further and flip out the ball hinges in the shoulders ; they are in backward on all of the released copies of this figure. I heated and popped them out and flipped so the ball joint taper was on the outside instead of the flat end exposed out of the box, after that Kal's arm articulation was as much smoother and and he poses like a dream with much more articulation and natural look.. spread the word. Stay DC as ever my youtube friend

Very cool tip! Something that figure buyers don’t get with this stuff, it’s that there’s always a way you can win!

You re so 😎 I wish I had Action Figures like you

Whoo, that looks amazing! I always favor the fabric/cloth cape over the plastic cape any day. The fact that it has the yellow S at the cape makes it more awesome! if it's up to me, every Superman cape should have the yellow S.

Well done

Thank you, this is really useful for us first timers

So much better! Nice job.

I was really disappointed by this McFarlane line when the photos were released but the Superman figure grew on me. I still don't like the plastic cape mold though. This mod brought it to a whole new level. Great job!

Serendipitous. I was just about to cannibalize a Bendyfigs super-cape because I wasn't sure if the cape tuck method would work as soon as I noticed how deep the butterfly joints go. After seeing this (watched a lot of your vids but missed this one), I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. That looks great btw.

I always put cloth cape​ on my Superman and Supergirl figure it makes it stand out better I only do it to certain ones

Wire capes are the best. They present articulation more than just the figure themselves.

I sculpted a head that perfectly mirrors the image the batman figure was meant to be based on and have been doing very well selling the comic batman with the replacement heads and the heads on their own which also fit mezco figures for people wanting something better for their 1/12 justice league batman(their best batman to date minus the head and perfect for grim knight customs), sovereign knight, etc,dc collectible lines(not new essentials), and customs using marvel legends. Anyway it makes the figure so much better as does adding cloth capes. The only thing I can fault the superman and batman figs for now is the legs not being more muscular which goes for McFarlanes animated figures which I've decided I love for what they are instead of what they're supposedly based on. If anyone is interested in custom, professionally painted batman head sculpts for their McFarlane figures that aren't insanely priced(I sell them with first class 3 day shipping included for 20 dollars) just leave a reply to this comment and I'll pass you a link for you to check it out on the McFarlane batman as well as some mezco figures and marvel legend bucks.

I wish that McFarlane could make a Wonder Woman action figure.

Thanks for the info. I just did my first mod of any kind on an action figure. I did end up using a 5/64th drill bit and just went REALLY slow. The cape I got off ebay is wired so it took a little effort to get it stuffed into the chest, but it works and it looks so much better. Even has the S on the back now. I kept the peg on the back in case I ever feel like switching back to the rubber cape and the new one hides all the crimes.

I've decided I like cloth goods capes for movie versions of figures as they are replicating real actual people. For the most part I like pre-posed capes, but rubber ones not hard plastic. That said, this came out great 👍.

This figure and the Christopher Reeve 7in NECA figure are my favorite Superman figures ever. I don't collect any more but I had to end my collecting career with a McFarlane figure. I started my collecting career with a McFarlane figure back in 99. Ghostface from Movie Maniacs series 2. I was wondering when McFarlane was going to do Batman or Superman.

good job！nice way

I think the action pose cape it came with was actually nice and worked well with his action poses.the material cape works if he is posing indoors or somewhere with zero wind but for action poses his cape falls flat and doesn’t look believable

Nice work!

Looks great..

McFarlane if your watching this do cloth capes or cloth wired capes and you will do great

I think Sideshow did a Christopher Reeve Superman statue, but has there ever been a figure modeled after CR? That DC essential figure was vaguely looking like CR, but have they created one and said it was modeled after CR?

Great mod! I definitely want to do the same with mine when it finally arrives.

Good god, that is beautiful...

That's a beauty!

Awesome cape work! But my question is what is the head you used on the Necca Superman SDCC cause thats not the head I have on mine lol

Thai is great but you could have also cut part of the plastic cape on the shoulders and just glued the cape on the plastic parts

Very nice. I hope you can show us a bit of how you did Batman's, but I get that's not so much a priority when you have so much to get to

I love what you do...I feel like you destroy your toys... unless you have a second one I feel like you're unfair and biased on honest reviews of said figure...I think you get good results and I appreciate your insight and experience...I'd like to see a comparison from you on what the best superman cape is ( that comes stock with the figure)

Really nice cape mode! Can you please do a video on how you customized the Batman figure. I want to do a soft goods Cape but keep the Mcfarlane headscuplt. Please show me how! 👌

Amazing work. I wish I could do this with my collection. I think I would just screw up my figures if I attempted this though.

Pretty cool. Now you just need to find skin colored replacements for his wrist joints.

Hi Brad. Will you be reviewing the new DC Prime Batman figure? It looks pretty darned unique and I would really like to see you review it.

So Brad, will you be able to make a customize right fist hand or simply get the MAFEX Superman (Batman: Hush) as a replacement since he's two fist hands and flying hands accessories.

I wonder if a heat gun would have helped melt any adhesive(if that's that the residue is) so you could just pull the sucker out?

The custom cloth capes are all very nice, but I always avoid figures with cloth capes as I think it makes them look cheap, and they're never as nice as these in the video. I purchased the McFarlane Superman, but later regretted it. The 'S' emblem on his chest is far too big, and the cape without a yellow 'S' is just a red bed sheet. Also, I love the San Diego Comic Con Superman. Is he available? I can't seem to find him anywhere.

I was hoping you would make another Cape mounting tutorial

I so want to do this with the Mcfarlane Animated Superman

It will be more awesome, if you use bendy wire

That does go a ways to improving the figure. I think that second modified figure you showed, the DC Essentials I think, looks to be the perfect Superman figure. Was it just the cape you changed there?

Ever thought of trying to make a custom cape for the multiverse Cavill Superman figure?

I miss the Mattel figures

Hey Brad big fan here one question Do you know any people who are selling wired capes?

You wanna know why I can't get this figure? Those legs are disproportionately small when compared to the torso. Is that the way he's drawn in the comic?

Hey Brad, have you ever tried putting a wired cloth cape on one of your Superman figures? I'm planing on doing it on mine, since I want a very dramatic look to him on my shelf (as he's looking down, contemplating the landscape of my bedroom nonetheless lol). But I just can't think of a way to make it work. I've had previous experiences in making wired cloth capes (still an amateur though), so any tips might be helpful!

La Liga Justicia DC Comics Superman

I would like a 3d printed Christopher Reeve head for this figure.

I may try this when I get my hands on a second figure. All my local Walmarts have been sold out of the first shipment (only found a lone Batman at one), so waiting on an Amazon order of one (also backordered). Where would you recommend picking up a cloth cape? eBay? If I can't find one pre-done, what about making one? Any experience/advice in that arena?

Hello 👋 ! Thx for the video! I ordered the NightWing from McFarlane but it has a mistake with painting on the lip. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thx 😊

Have you done any customs to lessen the squareness of his jaws? I think it's a little too square, looking like a "Chad" more than a "Clark"

What's that tool you used to push in the cape called? I need to buy one since I'm making this toy a max fleischer superman style

Is the 1/6 scale cape really that short that it works for a 7 inch scale figure? Don’t want to order one on eBay if it’s the wrong fit.

Which bootleg sideshow collectible superman did you get? Did you trim the length of the cape or was is already that length?

So this could work even with a cloak I made my self? I'm afraid that falls in the middle of a photo sesion in a windy day

What flying stand do you use? I'm looking for a quality one?

Will there be a video about Batman

Where can you get to bootleg sideshow/hot toys Superman figure to get the cApe?

Are you going to do the same for Batman?

Is there a way to do this, while making it a wire cape?

Where did you get that bootleg sideshow collectibles figure? I want to do this and would love to use that cape.

Looks way better! Nice job!

Every superhero action figure must come with a cloth cape no vinyl

seoaking of cape tuck, anyone knows how is sups cape tucked in his suit?

YAY!!!!!

Could you take a picture of the cape to use as a pattern??

Great cape.. but would have been better if it were wired

🙂👍🏽📽

ﾏﾝﾄのｶｽﾀﾑでしたいけど、質の物が難しい…😞🤔😥

When's arrow coming out

What's the tool you're using? And can anyone recommend where/how to get a good cloth Superman cape with bendable wire in it?

I feel like I'm one of the few people who dont like the s on the back

Wait it’s already been 2 years 💀

The cape doesn't bother me if it's diverse enough...

Its not an S on his world that means Hope

Hello bread. This is Steven from Fort Worth Texas Tarrant County USA. Question I have a 75th Anniversary Edition of the SuperFriends Batman black and grey suit but I would like to put Adam West Batman head on the figure if I send it to you would you be able to do it for me. Since I cannot physically do it myself due to my disability. I have cerebral palsy unable to walk at Birth. I use a power wheelchair to get around daily sincerely yours. Steven John Pedersen.

El Superman de la San Diego Comic Con es horrible 😂😂😂😂😂

Shame your cape doesn't have wire.

What's the point of drilling holes in beautiful figure and putting a basic cloth cape? Not helpful. Do so will destroy the value of the beautiful figure.
