The more you miss out the more it gets you down, it’s understandable, but remember that having more frequent chances means you’re getting closer.

Good old motorcycle grasshopper man can’t evade you forever :)

^indeed...couldn't say it more better because I've had the same situation happen one too many times with other figyarts but it did eventually lead to me finally securing the item I wanted

Sometimes the thrill is in the hunt!

Starting to give Shin Kamen Rider a soft goods scarf

Some trial and error using different materials and cuts. What you see is using bias tape ( used to finish the edges of necklines or armholes ) and tapering the scarf skinnier in the middle

This is ended working best by removing the middle red plastic ring that holds the scarf. The ring is sandwiched between the neck and the joint piece that attaches to the collar of the figure. If you want to try to remove it, heat up the plastic first. Pry off at the top of the ring, the square-ish peg that holds everything in place is just glued on. Repair it by gluing the peg back on or use museum putty like I did

Next I'll make a version with some red cotton cloth, so the scarf drapes better down the figure. The trick is to singe the edges so they don't fray too much. Ultimately I want to add wire to get more dynamic looks. If anyone is interested I can share the dimensions I used

Wow that looks nice and the Shin Kamen Rider seihou in general looks good...might have to really consider getting him now after seeing so many photos

Oooooohhhh! Thanks for sharing.

Tregear shf is a fantastic figure and just very unique looking. Highly recommend this rerelease. Also the fellow finalist in that Ultraman SHF rerelease poll, Ace, got a rerelease too, lol.

Looking forward to this new Absolutian too! Glad to build up that faction in my collection.

In the future I will be making a wired scarf, but I found a nice workaround in the meantime

These figure really are so much better with soft goods

They are! I really like the one you made, looks great!

Have you tried ironing the fabric of the scarf to shape it?
