The tentacles are ball-joint articulated at each section and the jaw lowers to expose a weapon.

The brainiac and bottle city of Kandor have been waiting for this ship for a while.

This is awesome!

Interesting which ones did you find?

This is fantastic, I've loved using 3D printing to build out my DC world, even printing some figures that are online. Will your files be available to download? Will you offer printing services for this Brainiac ship? That's a dream vehicle for sure. Terrific work!

Thanks, I gave up on hoping one would be released in 1:18 scale anytime soon. I will be offering a printing service for the ship, as well as the other weapons and accessories I have designed in the past, like the bottle city of Kandor. Of course, before listing the ship I'd like to get the first one printed to work out the kinks. The PLA colors that were needed came in the mail today, so the printing will start tonight. I'm still evaluating a better chair design, an overhead frame for several bottle cities to hang down from, a stand for a bottle city raised up at hip height from the floor, and a sort of restraint for Superman (or other figures) to be held in (perhaps similar to the one Superman was held in inside the ship in "Superman Unbound". These additions will be modular, so I may include an autopsy-like table as well. If you or anyone else has access to 3d print files (stl, etc.), I'm sure we can work something out.

Star Sapphire, a Qwardian Weaponer, and Guy Gardner. Since I'm a Green Lantern collector, it was like they were waiting for me.

I also noticed that Ollie's has some of the old DC Total Heroes line. I'm guessing that there was some kind of warehouse buyout of old DC merch, which is why some of these defunct lines keep popping up.

tlasjr · 05-20-2022, 12:22 PM

Total heroes, was th a t thr 5 inch line from Hasbro in the late 90's? That beats my oldest find.

Atomsmasher · 05-20-2022, 12:30 PM

He means the kid friendly five inch line mattel tried before returning to dcuc style. I was a fan but they didn't catch on.

I have the Hal Jordan, John Stewart, and Sinestro, and they certainly aren't bad figures. However, I can see how adult collectors would be turned off after DCUC had set the standard. That's why the line didn't last long.

Not quite, you're thinking of the Total Justice line.

Such great ideas. Please keep us posted!

Green mans head fit on the dcuc body nicely. Made sure to buy enough John's to give all the Green lanterns a go. I think if they embraced the line fully with a justice league cartoon it would be done.

I digress from the main topic. Found a metallic king shark. It was the first repaint i wanted to buy.

I saw some Spin Master 2-Packs on Instagram. One was a Superman and Lex (with some kind of accessory) and a Swamp Thing and Batman with Batcycle. No info on when or where they'll end up being released.

I appreciate it. How the heck did someone with 44 followers and only a handful of posts (none of which are toys before this) get a product like this for free? o.O

That's the one I saw! I saw it a while ago, so I misremembered it as a 2-pack.

I'll buy it just for the lex lol

Madame Warlock · 05-26-2022, 05:21 PM

Think we'll get a Spinmaster Blue Beetle? It's a really cool imagining of the design, reminds me of Super Imaginative Chogokin almost. Not sure how good a rendition they'll do of it, but I'll be happy to have a passable Jamie

Arachnid13 · 05-28-2022, 04:10 PM

I wonder when we will get a poison ivy from spin master, I’d think that they would make one seeing as Harley and batgirl got made and sold pretty well.
