Re: JLA or JSA?

I like a bit of sculpted movement in the cape. I just wish they used the more pliable plastic like Darkseid's skirt or Desaad's robes. Either that or back to cloth, but with wire inside so you could pose it in different ways.

I'm planning a cloth cape for Bats that'll have wire ribs too for awesome display potential. It's still in the planning phases though, so I can't take pics yet! I will if and when I do the project.

Re: JLA or JSA?

Cloth cape with wire? awesome. That would be cool. I would prefer if they went back to the really soft plastic too. Or something like Clayface's arms, where it's really bendy and maleable, but there's wires inside to hold it into certain positions. Honestly, there doesn't have to be a ton of movement: there just needs to be enough to make the figure look dynamic in various poses.

Re: JLA or JSA?

I like the idea of a soft cape with wires, wish all my Batman figures had that! You could pose the cape any way you wish and they already did something similar with Clayface's arms, so don't tell me they couldn't apply that concept to soft, posiable capes!

I am kind of wondering if we'll get two MM figs, one of his form when he first arrived on earth and one after he changed to prevent scaring people.

I think it'll be classic MM (big brow, cape w/ high collar, shirtless with the crossed red straps) and the variant will be modern (as he appeared when he died).

And yeah, Clayface was part of the inspiration for the wire in the cape.

Re: JLA or JSA?

Either way, I am still getting me Martain Manhunter!

Can't wait to see the finished cape, Quantum!
