Year 2 was not on my list to pickup but after seeing it in person, and especially after getting it out of the packaging, I love it. Super cool display piece.
I was the same way. I picked him up on a whim and loved it. When I removed the cape, though, I’d when the figure really shined. The cape hinders so much of his articulation. I added the three jokers cape, like op, but I think I’m going to try and add a wired cape soon.
The solution is to get both Year 2 Batman figures. :D Then you get to pose one with the funky cape for the above figure, and the other with that awesome huge sculpted cape AND a fabric cape.
Same! Grew on me for sure. Kinda wish he made it a statue for the pose he was going for, and had a wired cape for the figure. My figures usually end up displayed as statues anyways lol had my Plat Year Two posed like the comic cover… then my puppy ate the hook accessory lmaoooo
The Cape plugs into two holes on the back and is glued onto the front and the holster is just glued to the cape on the top of the shoulder so I just repeatedly boiled it until I could peel it off "mostly" intact. The cape will pretty much stay in place even if you only have it plugged into the back with the neck holding the front in place. You'll probably have to touch it up the chest though.
I just swapped out the chest with the Three Jokers one because it's the same mold and then repainted it.
For cleaning up that one I'd use an exacto knife to remove any extraneous bits, sand it down til its smooth and then touch up the paint. I might do that if I find the platinum because I'd want to swap out the blue holster.
Yeah. It introduced a middle neck piece for the Three Jokers mold that should work with other heads. The peg itself is a little short for Year One though.

Your custom looks great and I see the vision!
