Robin Cape Collars.
Hey everybody,
After visiting Australia's movieworld, I've been thinking about putting together a B+R Robin costume, but I'm not quite sure where to start... and on top of that, the one peice that seems to be a real mystery is the latex collar peice... it looks like it sits on top of the cape, and mounts to the chest using cape clips.

Re: Latex Robin Collars?
The collar on that suit is beautiful, but can I suggest another possibilty?
I have in the past created a collar by cutting the upper head part of a cowl off. If you can get one of the bros to part with a cowl that might be flawed up top, you can have a perfect Robin collar.

Re: Latex Robin Collars?
Hey Brin,
I thought about doing just that, but was worried about the fit... most cowls (the non-rubies ones, anyway) are designed to pull on over the head, so wouldn't that make it a bit large sitting around the neck? I suppose I could add a slit, but then I'd be worried about making the sides line up... Guess it'd just be a matter of taking my time?

Re: Latex Robin Collars?
Brin speaks wisely. I put together a Robin suit for my buddy for when we do our appearances, and used the bottom half of a Sonar cowl. it works fine and looks good. it's by no means accurate, but it works. especially on a budget. and the other choice would be to follow Markus's advice and contact the RPAC.
here's a pic of the one I use
--- the law is inadequate. in order to shame it's inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law. to pursue natural justice. this is not vengeance. revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. no, not vengeance, PUNISHMENT

Re: Latex Robin Collars?
The Rubies Sonar actually has a pretty small neck, so as James says, use one of those if you can find it.
