Just re-write it Ky, but simpler. One syllable words, short sentences. Three to four sentences tops....

Every one if my figures that cam with a hard cape now has soft goods. Punisher has a trench coat made from a Darth Maul cloak with no sleeves, Sentry, Thor, Odin, Dr Doom - all soft goods. Better than those disgusting plastic monstrosities.
That reminds me, anyone need any plastic capes?

Rigid capes take away from posing and displaying. Sentry permanently has his cape swishing to a side, Magneto permanently has that corner folded, Doom's, Vision's, & Thor's capes get in the way. They're just awful and I don't care for them.

[K Dubious]

Why the hell Hasbro thought to put that crease in Mag's cape really bugs me too. That being said the only soft goods on any of my figures are the coats from Iron Man 2's Nick Fury, and ironically my Punisher is wearing it too. I found the Nick Fury's for under $10 so I picked up two.

EDIT* I forgot that I used soft goods on my Banshee Custom. I still don't know how I would have pulled that off any other way.

I used a Dark Knight Batman cape for a Marvel NOW Storm type cape, like with the Legends one.

For me it varies figure to figure.

Some need the rigid capes and coats. It helps the figure look more defined like the coat fits and in other cases the capes actually allow the figure to stand by having that random extra support in the back.

In other cases though it's a hindrance. When I made Doom 2099 I had to go cloth cape. He couldn't sit on his throne with that big plastic monstrosity behind him. So it's a give and take depending on what you need for the figure.

[kylactus]

do you have pics of Doom 2099? I've been on a 2099 flashback kick lately, I'm even trying to get a hulk 2099 toybiz figure off ebay for spidey 2099 to display with.

I would go either way regarding capes, whatever they come with I stick with. The only ones I can definitely say I prefer being plastic are Doctor Strange's for its shape and design and Adam Warlock's because it has the collar and it needs that metallic sheen. Darth Vader is an example of someone who I absolutely prefer with cloth capes, yeah he's Star Wars but he's just my example.

So as we know, Pilk is doing casting now, and he's got some great heads right now, and the Warlock/SDCC Doom Infinity Gauntlet!
£4 a pop because it's early days, an extra £1.50 for painted, which is far less than Vort or Glassman for painted.
Shield Agent, Ultron & Kree army builder heads, unmasked Daken & Bullseye, Dum Dum Dugan.
I've put in my first order, and because he's cast loads, he's got a stock in so the order is shipped out within a day or so, so no 6 month waits.
Plus, buy 5+ you get them painted for free! I know I'm going to this guy from now on.

However they painted my warlock fig it was plain horrible all the paint from the back of his legs has gotten all over the yellow on the inside of his cape its so bad I finally stored him and his cape in separate wrapping paper baggies and bins.

I'm very interested in some of them, like Dum Dum, but some of the faces in the pic were harder to see. If there a site I can check out Pilkster?

[Pilkster]

From top left to bottom
Spidey, ultron, coulson dum dum
Peter parker, daken, Osbourne, Batroc, shield agent
Rogue, Maria Hill, comic Tony stark, tombstone, unmasked bullseye
Vision, helmetless magneto unmasked antman

No website as of yet as I'm still molding other heads. Once I've run out of silicone to make molds ill make some sort of page/site

[deathofthelines]

Hill! Why do I keep forgetting I need a hill head.

Copy/paste what you want to say and put it in Google Translator as Chinese. And then translate the Chinese back to English. It will be very different. But if you can get the gist of it, then so will they. Here is an example of how different a translation re-translated back into English can be:

I fear that we are going way too off-topic. You should make a new thread for discussing this stuff.
