    '66 Batman belt fix?

    So, I'm totally late to the party but I impulse bought a first wave '66 Batman. I can't help but notice that his belt rides up quite a bit. I tried to look thru old post and find any tips for correcting that, but I couldn't find anything.

    Obviously, the belt is too short so there's no real way to fix that. Is the belt in the accessory set longer? Has anyone tried trimming the velcro at the bottom of the suit to thin out the waist? Do I just have to live with it?

    I use Aleen's Tacky dots... It is not long term fix but it works.

      I took off his belt, then adjusted his costume by hand to make his shorts rise up as high as possible. Then I put the belt back on as low as I could fit it. The end result was still not perfect, but it looked a lot better than it did straight out of the package.

        I added a new belt tab at the end of it to give it more length

          I did exactly the same as thunderbolt and works like a charm,..but for this,..you have to buy from them another loose Batbelt,..which FTC sells in their site.
