looks like a beauty, more pics would be great!
I just received one of coofunkcurly's TDK cowls and it fits my 23.5 inch nicely, with ample room for a hood to fit under it. The GCFX mask was too tight for me
My GCFX suit is stretchy and a bit large, so I am battling the battle of the "sag" I've hemmed in the inside of the suit some along the belt line and while I can tighten up the leg sections with suspenders, its the gut/stomach area that needs attention. I can't really do too much to tighten that spot up since the armor pieces are glued onto it.
I've also had to touch up a lot of areas where the armor is peeling off. It was just a lousy build. The 2P-10 that was suggested seems to be helping

They've been very prompt in answering my email questions

I can chime in about GCFX's suit that I have bought in the past.
when they ran their dark knight suit in 2012, it was pretty good, the urethane was much thicker and harder, and holds its shape very well. I assume Teragon's suit is from that era.
their new urethane suits in 2013 is very thin, thats why you are seeing wrinkles when you move around in it.

Don't order ANYTHING from Fan Universe Creations!! Dozens of people have paid for their products but haven't received them. It's been over six months for me. They don't answer email and they delete my Facebook comments asking for updates. All the people I've spoken with this past month are in the same boat - waiting for over 6 months!! All our emails and messages get ignored. They are thieves! I just want my money back or deliver the product as promised.
so bad

My name is Selena Johnson from Fan Universe Creations and I posted this today in a different thread but I think some people here might want to read it as well.
I'm referring to the following conversation: http://www.therpf.com/f77/problems-fan-universe-creations-uk-207812/index2.html
Dear members of therpf and Fan Universe Creations customers who have been waiting for much longer than is fair in any situation.
My name is Selena Johnson and I'm the person in charge of making the props and responding to emails at Fan Universe Creations.
I came here to publicly apologise and own up for my recent shortcomings. There are a few accusations floating around here as well which I would like to set straight, but first I want to make everybody understand that I completely own up to the fact that I have been extremely *****ty* at following through with deadlines and responding to emails and as if that wasn't already enough, I've had constant obstacles thrown in my way making a complete mess of everything. I've been struggling with organising the production as it's only just me who is working on the items and what started out as an easy to do job with a simple order turned into an overload of work which I lost control over, and once people start threatening you and using nasty language in emails, it will quickly become a daily nightmare.
I am scared out of my mind now that I see the full extent to which my shortcomings are affecting everybody, and I feel ashamed that I wasn't able to better handle everything.
This is all entirely my fault and I have been struggling for quite a while now trying to make it right but only becoming more and more overwhelmed to the point of complete desperation.
I could try to explain how it even got this far but to be completely honest I don't even know how exactly this all happened. I just know that I tried every day to somehow work through it and spent hours trying to organise it, and trying to communicate in a way that would make it a little bit easier, but there came a point where I spent more time writing emails than actually making items, again leading to me not being able to meet the discussed deadlines.
So I want everyone here who is burning red-hot with rage to please send me another email, so I can start afresh to deal with you in the way that you deserve, and standing up for the fact that I have failed so tremendously.
The reason I've deleted all the comments on Facebook is because I decided to start cleaning up the mess I have created directly.
And the reason the eBay account kept changing was because of listing limits - which now doesn't matter because I've stopped listing and selling completely so that I can sort this out.
It makes me sad to see though that there are also a few things being said here that really aren't true.
Such as:
1 - Our items are NOT recasts - and it is very frustrating to have someone else say this to you when you spent months sculpting something to only have them say to you that all that work is a lie. Our items are NOT recasts. They have been sculpted by myself.2 - Andrew Pow has nothing to do with this mess. His music video has not been funded by F.U.C. but has been created way before F.U.C. even started - and he is not currently promoting his music actively. It's just a music video. Nothing else. He has absolutely nothing to do with the mess that I have created for myself - because I have caused it and I have been trying to amend it without getting him involved.
3 - There was in deed a flood in our old studio. It was caused by an old pipe that had burst during winter (if anyone has ever worked in a studio warehouse type building in East London - they will KNOW of the state that their piping is in!) - we even started joking that building was haunted with all the bad luck we've had there!
4 - I have never ever once in my life posted on this forum before. I didn't even know about this forum until someone actually sent me a link and pointed me to the seriousness that is going on here making me aware that I have to act quickly now to show everyone that I'm not a scammer, I'm merely human and I have caved in under pressure and stress. I've handled it badly and froze - but I'm here now to make up for it in which ever way required.
5 - We did actually post a few real pictures. I will post a few real pictures here as well if you don't mind:
So, I guess in the end everybody will just believe what they want to believe - I know that I have certainly caused enough reason for everybody not to believe a word I say - but I hope that the fact that I came here to own up to everything publicly and continuing to make items and ship them out as soon as possible - will show you that I'm not actually a bad person - that I've made quite a few mistakes which have escalated - and that I'm now here to make it right somehow. It would be nice to see people post here who actually have gotten their items and were very pleased with them - but unfortunately those people don't look for forums talking about bad experiences - and in the end it doesn't change the fact that I have been neglecting communication and meeting deadlines - and I'm deeply sorry.
Kindest regards,
Selena

The best dark knight suit I have seen is on this page
http://www.facebook.com/revolutiondesignfx
It's still being worked on but his last version was pretty accurate.

I posted this in another forum, but I'll post here too.
I just received my Fan Universe Creation gauntlets today and I'm TERRIBLY upset with them. They look great if you only want to use them for display purposes, but they are useless for costuming. No question in my mind that corners were cut when manufacturing these. The description I was given in the email when I first ordered them don't match what I received. Plus all the pix they used to show "velcro" attachments have gone missing from the site. There is no velcro used on the ones I received. I tried them on and they wobble and flop and stretched so much that I'm afraid they'll tear after one wearing. And I have small arms. The only thing I *DO* like about these are the fins. Since they are removable I'm going to use them to customize my UD gauntlets. My advice to anyone who is still waiting on these is to DEMAND A REFUND. This is shameful, since I really liked my cowl and neck armour I bought from FUC last spring. But after all the BS from them as of late, my recommendation is steer clear of them completely. Ask for your money back. Don't listen to their excuses. You will not be pleased with these gauntlets.

Hey Guys, I have recently got my cowl from IconicCollectibles on eBay, and I must say his stuff is neat!
The seller was hard to reach generally, but he was helpful anf gave updates on the process. and the product was well packed and of top notch quality
Check my thread here, I posted pictures: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=244766
I too have had concerns with buying a UD replicas or a proper tdk suit replica, but honestly after going through most of the posts on here, it seems like UD replica, though not the most screen accurate, but are the most reliable and easy/comfortable to wear given the right measurements. I think I'm gonna place orders soon!

Awesome man! Iconic Collectibles is great, and I'm sure you'll love your UD suit! Just be sure to call in to David at UD. He will guide you on what sizing to order everything. Keep us posted!

I just bought an UD Replicas Arkham Knight suit, im excited but defiantly nervous about sizing. I talked to them on the phone quite a bit and they gave me a lot of help. I'm getting the feeling id rather it be slightly to big than small. Now I need to sort out a cowl and cape, i have quite some time before the shipment of the suit from UD so im thinking ill try making some. Ive always wanted to craft some costumes and get into it as a hobby, I dont really know where to start but this sight has some great resources it seems. I am excited !
