Blast the cheap cape with a hair dryer and voila - I bet you have a nice little X logo without the cape.
I assumed it'd be like Thor's cape. There's a stitched hole in the fabric and the pin goes through the hole, attaching the cape the the figure. Idk. We'll see.

I got mine today.

I can confirm it's just a little plug shaped X that goes through a stitched loop in the cape. Easy to pop out.

It might stick out too much if you remove the cape though.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I like the face sculpt, but unfortunately it does have that issue with the eyes.

People, especially that one very angry guy, are probably going to brush it off as defending my purchase or whatever, but it really isn't as noticeable in person to me up on the shelf. Still, a definite issue.

Looks best turned clockwise a little bit rather than squared up shoulders.

Jeez, her eyes are bad there. I hate how it's always a gamble with such an experienced company

Everything else looks painted very well. How does someone f--- up the eye that bad? Luckily, SSC will take care of that.

The paint apps look really nice, but two things really stand out.

First is the REALLy bad eyes. Ask SS for replacements Tworow. They will give you ones.

Second, the cape being fabric and so white makes the sculpted suit look dingy, dirty cream. Not a crisp white that it should be. Might be lighting, but he contrast is quite stark and off-putting. Her suit should be as bright as the cape.
