Don't have one of those around here I'm afraid.

TheLongestDay · 12-12-2014, 12:07 PM

Any of you fine fellas fancy picking up that set for this poor old limey? We never get the box sets here just the vehicles

vindowviper · 12-12-2014, 12:26 PM

I designed and 3D printed a couple batarangs a couple months ago and they just arrived in the mail.

Sonic batarang from Batman Forever (kind of) in frosted ultra detail.

Arkham series batarang in black detail. I had a heck of a time getting my cell phone to focus properly. Please excuse the blur.

I should have printed the arkham batarang in frosted ultra detail, too, then painted it. I will cast a mold for these before I paint them.

I'm so scared of the fragility of the line that half off is just too much to pay for them

Dope. Can u post more pics of that luthor figure?? I and what head u used

snake5289 · 12-12-2014, 02:53 PM

Well just ordered Batman/Joker and Doomsday/Catwoman. Here's hoping my luck with these keeps up.

Specter · 12-12-2014, 03:00 PM

Found Origins Batman today, very disappointed in his height.
He is just a hair taller than Robin and only slightly taller than City.

Might put Robin in my MU Batfamily group and make Origins Batman my main.

Good luck. I have both sets, and they're particularly great so long as they don't break. Definitely run them under some hot water for a little bit once you take them out of the box. That's what I should've done.

What about it? Too tall? Too short?

Short, better than City but doesn't look too good next to Robin(so Nightwing concerns me as well)

Still besides maybe my MU custom it might be my favorite Batman figure I have owned in years.

Sure, the head is Zartan v4 (2002), cut, drilled, and painted, and put on an Iron Man 2 Weapon Assault Drone. It also has the chainsaw attachments. It's one of my laziest LBCs.

snake5289 · 12-12-2014, 07:15 PM

Puts mine to shame.

I found one but I turned it into a MU style Optimus Prime. Came out pretty nice if I do say so myself.

You know I haven't actually had to do that before but I'll definitely bear that in mind. Thanks for the heads up.

I've been told that Doomsday should be no problem and Catwoman will probably break from looking at her wrong but has anyone had problems with Batman and Joker? Haven't heard anything about either of them.

Tried to get a nice blend of G1, the two Cybertron Games, and TF Prime.

That is a prime I would love to see ripping the faces off of the villian's on my to shelf. Beautiful figure man.

snake5289 · 12-12-2014, 09:04 PM

Thank ye kindly.

Those look amazing... I need to get some clear stands. Any reccomendations? Need that ledger joker recipe. I wonder if we will ever get a good 3.75" ledger joker. Jared Lito will have some big shoes to fill, I wonder if we will see a good Jared Lito joker. Loving the pics on this thread.

Specter · 12-12-2014, 09:33 PM

Man Origins Batman really makes the Armored Edition Batman look like a cartoon version.

Something is up with my Joker's head. The movement is odd, like the neck post is broken and it's really only hanging on by a thread. I've barely touched it since I first got it. At least that would be a simple fix, though. Just use magnets if the head snaps off.

And BTW, My Catwoman is quite sturdy aside from a stuck wrist. No problems at all, but it obviously varies.

snake5289 · 12-12-2014, 09:51 PM

That is odd. I'll keep an eye open for that. I know there's no way to really compare but if Catwoman ends up anything like the Harley I have there shouldn't be any problems.

I had a batman that came with a broken knee on ebay, but they were able to exchange it for me. I can't stand Catwoman's hands and feet. She looks more like cat-skeletor woman.

I'm going to cast them this weekend. I'll pm you. Gotta find a pressure cooker, maybe though. Or you can print them from shapeways and see how they turn out.

Figure stands are available at small joes. I got the head through angel forge, but it appears to be sold out right now. There are 3 other joker heads available on their website, but you may want to send them an email to see if you can get the Ledger Joker. The body is Prof X, and the coat is from Urban Rev Toys

Specter · 12-12-2014, 11:09 PM

Mentioned my DC MU customs in here a few times finally got around to taking a pic.
