Since ssc is the most view section, I'm in the process of customizing 1 of my 3 WW Pf Ex statues to the 600 costume. Anyone know where I can buy a 1/4 scale bomber jacket (navy dark blue)? Without it, it's not complete.

Kind of a long shot, but maybe see if you can get your hands on a busted up Rogue PF. I believe she came with a jacket that you could maybe customize.

That is a great idea. You'll just have to dye it. If that one is too small, try Cyclops one.

I have the Rogue & Cyclop Pfs. Only problem is it's not a bomber jacket and it's not navy blue.

trying to find 1/4 scale accessories is very difficult, 1/6 scale you can find just about everything but larger scales... :tumblew:

I don't think what youre looking for exists, at least not premade. as others have suggested you can use the jackets from rogue or Cyclops but you will have to paint them. acrylic paint should adhere to leather or whatever material that is but I am unsure of its longevity

I think the closest youll find "as is" is black canary's jacket

Agreed. But, you would be much better off finding someone who could sew you a pleather jacket vs. spending the money to take one from another statue.

Dying Rogue's jacket would be nearly impossible, the material isn't poreous and it's cheap material.

This might sound nuts, but how big are Bratz dolls? In the doll section of a toy store you might find something. Dolls are super trendy and bomber jackets are very in (well, in human adult sizes).

Also, did you order Black Canary VS? Her jacket is fabric and navy. Take it off and put it on Wonder Woman.

That's what I would do if I were you. Even more if you ordered two BCs. Customize one of those into her black zip-up suit that doesn't have a jacket.

Voila, two sweet customs that feed each other!

Bratz dolls.. are they the same size as 1/4 scale statues?

Yah I ordered Black Canary. I can't take her jacket off for this. Its also different color.

that was my thought the only unknown variable is it may require breaking one of canarys arms to get it off. without having the piece in hand we cant say for sure but its not uncommon for the factory to put the arm through the sleeve and glue it to the body at the same time. that said, if you further customize that canary - youre good :thumbs2:

you might be able to get away with it, just depends whats available and a 1/4 scale female bomber jacket would be pretty small i think

The Black Canary option is probably your best. It's a gamble though... there's no guarantee it would even fit.

The other suggestion I would offer is this: contact one of the people on Etsy who make doll clothes, and see if one of them could craft a jacket to your specifications.

Finally finished her. Thanks to a member here who got me the jacket. Without it, this would have not turn out the way I wanted. The jacket was everything. Repainted the base too. Darker and more greyish tone that actually looks like columns. Thought the original was too light and plain looking. This was my first custom repaint that I've ever done. Probably went through more paint then necessary lol.

Wow, that looks perfect. Was the jacket a custom or did you find something to "borrow" it from?

Jacket was borrowed from black Canary pf lol. I'd took it to a seamstress and she said it would be hard to do due to scale. I'm really glad I was able to get the jacket. I actually started to do the custom before I even got the jacket...really stupid of me lol. Without the jacket, it would not have been the same

This is going to sound weird that I know this but American Girl Dolls are 18 inches tall and most of their clothes would generally fit a 1/4th statue (my cousins have young kids and the dolls) you can find some custom made stuff on eBay or this might have worked if you wouldn't have found black canary's jacket.

Also Phicen stuff works well on 1/6th, I replaced Fantasy Figure Gallery Batgirl's cape (super intrusive) with a phicen winter soldier black cape and its a perfect fit, I also gave FFG Wonder Woman the Spartan captain's cape and it looks like hers.
