Hi Bros,
Finally I can post finished pics and instructions of my Batman Returns Figure!!
Instructions is more or less the same as my '89 Figure.
Here are my new and improved Keaton's heads, these heads are more details than the ones that comes with my '89 Figure. Again paint job is normal factory quality but you can always repaint it to make it looks better.
Here is the Returns Cowl, the finishing is better than the test shot.
This Returns Cowl is made of soft and flexible vinyl material, it will regain it's original shape even you squeeze it. ;D
To wear the Returns Cowl on the Keaton's head, first you will need to take off the hair part, then use a hair dryer to warm up the Cowl to make it a little soft and wear it on the Keaton's head will do. Sure this time the Keaton's head can get into the Returns Cowl more easily than the '89 Cowl. :up To have the best appreance, you may consider to paint the area around the eyes of the Keaton's head with black paint.
Here is how it looks like when done.
The Returns Suit is like this when not gear up on the figure body.
To wear on the Legs Armour, just pull it up on the figure body will do.
Wearing on the Body Armour is like wearing on a bullet proof vest, first insert one arm into the sleeve, then get the Body Armour over the figure body and insert the other arm into the sleeve will do.
Done!!
Then wear on the Returns Belt. There is a mini buckle at both ends of the belt to fasten it up just like the life size belt that we use for our costumes.
Inserting the Returns Boots and Returns Gloves.
Don't worry if you find the above a little complicated cause the figure you will receive is partially gear up for you like this.
If you want to keep the Body Armour firmly in place, you may consider to glue a little piece of velcro in the front and the back waist area with the help of some flexible type super glue.
Just remember when you glue the velcro on the back waist, glue it as low as possible (like the pic above) so that it won't block you when you pull down the zippers to take off the undersuit.
To attach the Knees Caps, first cut a little piece of double sided tape (try to get the thick and the strongest type) and stick it at the back of the Knee Caps, then bend the leg and stick the Knee Caps on.
It should look like this when done.
Do the same to stick the Returns Emblem on the Returns Cowl.
To attach the Gloves Fins, first you will need to cut the Gloves Fins off from the stem with the help of a cutter, then use a little drop of super glue and glue them on the Gloves where there are markings.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND to glue on the Gloves Fins if you have young children in your home cause they are small, sharp and choking harzard!! Play safe and have fun!!
There is a elastic string sewed on the cape, all you need to do is hang it on the neck of the figure.
Last thing to do is use a hair dryer and warm up the neck of the Keaton's head and tuck it into the neck of figure body.
Here are the pics of the finished Returns Figure.
Packaging box is the same as the '89 Figure but with a different cover sticker. ;D
Meantime I am starting to assemble and packing the Returns Figures, hopefully I will start to shipping out the first batch in about two weeks time. The most hard part is painting the mini Returns Emblems, not only time consuming but KILLING too!! Got to work more harder!! ;D
Thanks again everyone for all the support and encouragement during the time I made this Returns Figure. This Returns Figure is my whole year work, hope you all will like it.
