Went to go fix harlys arm. Just gonna glue it on. But then i saw my Catwoman and all her breakage was in the same arm. Wonder if theirs a body I could transplant their heads on to. The peg hole is kinda small so I'm drawing blanks right now.

Something I have been noticing recently on eBay with the Arkham Knight Batmobile: It seems to be selling for pretty low.

There have been auctions that ended with this Batmobile going for less than $90 (one was loose, the other in its original packaging). The shipping costs for each was less than $15. This is essentially the price you'd pay whenever Mattel online has a shipment available to sell ($85).

Other current auctions on this Batmobile seem to be holding steady below $90 in bids.

Perhaps it's the holiday season, so most collectors aren't spending money on themselves right now. Or, maybe we're starting to see a glut of these Batmobiles, just as there could be a glut of the next MV wave (i.e. Joker, Harley, Black Mask, etc.).

Either way, if you'd like to have one of these Batmobiles, now could be a good time to try to snag one on eBay. It appears to be a buyer's market. (Consequently, if you own one and want to sell it, perhaps you should hold off until after January.)

I just think that version of the Batmobile just isn't very popular.

Can we get pics?
I don't have either yet.
Still haven't spotted that Catwoman anywhere.

I know I'm not a fan. Why couldn't they just bring back the Asylum Batmobile? Yeah it went into the water with Bane but it could've been rebuilt.

That doesn't seem like too bad of a breakage, though. Shouldn't be hard to fix. My Injustice Wonder Woman had both arms break off at the shoulders, and all it took to fix that was a little bit of drilling, a twisty tie, and a butt-load of patience.

I'm trying to picture that. Pics would be nice. I'd like to do that with my injustice Wonder Woman. I have made it my policy to immediately after I carefully open each injustice and DCC Green Lantern figure to use a hair dryer to heat up the fig until I can pull off the offending joint, then apply some silicone based personal lubricant in the hole (hehe). Works like a charm. So far the only figures I have had problems with out of the entire collection are injustice Wonder Woman and Batman. I was able to successfully exchange Batman, but when I exchanged Wonder Woman, I got another one that had a broken shoulder on the same side. The amazon seller is ignoring me. :( I will have my revenge!

Try vasoline on the ball joint to keep it from sticking to hot glue, and put hot glue in the hip, but just a little so it can wrap more around the ball once you bring the joint together. (Many of my fixes involve lubricants).

Does anybody know how to fix loose swivel joints, like a swivel waist on a figure, for example?

Recently saw MV Joker and Harley at Walmart. Nice, but not interested. Now if they put out a more comic-styled Harley or a movie-styled Joker (Jack or Heath) in MV, I might bite.

Found out today that Books-A-Million started carrying Injustice packs. Unfortunately all they had was Harley/Cyborg and Flash/Raven. Good to know in the future I suppose.

I saw these as well, and big shock harlynand flash were stolen from their packs.

Finally got the latest multiverse figs at Walmart and got to pick freely from several figs of each. Went back an hour later and all the rest were gone.

snake5289 12-10-2014 09:18 PM

Now that's just a dick move right there. Think they'd charge you half off if you tried to buy one? ;)

Took me a while to dig up these pics. I posted them here before, but they're too buried in this thread.

First i drilled a small hole all the way through her upper body.

http://www.toyark.com/attachment.php...1&d=1418272964

Then a matching one in each shoulder joint on the arms.

http://www.toyark.com/attachment.php...1&d=1418272964

Then I folded the end of the twisty tie over and filled the hole with krazy glue, putting the end of the tie in there and letting it dry.

http://www.toyark.com/attachment.php...1&d=1418272964

Then I held the first arm up to the body and ran the tie all the way through the hole in her upper body, so it stuck out of the other side.

http://www.toyark.com/attachment.php...1&d=1418272964

And attached the second arm the same way: curled the end of the tie, glued it inside of the shoulder.

http://www.toyark.com/attachment.php...1&d=1418272964


Voila! Might not survive excessive posing, but it allowed me to get her into the pose I wanted and then place her on my shelf. I may have shoved something through her upper body along with the twisty tie. I don't remember exactly how I kept the arms from being loose, but that's probably it.

That's some crafty rigging right there. Kudos to you sir.

Indeed. The zip tie should be able to handle a decent amount of bending, so it makes a suitable material for this application. Great thinking!

Grippen 12-11-2014 03:37 AM

Hi guys I fixed mine in a different way. Luckily the eBay seller I got mine from sent me a second set so I was not afraid of screwing her up completely.

I removed the clear rings from inside her shoulder. Joint is very tight so you need some patience. Also made a cut all the way down on the pin that goes inside the clear ring. This will ease the removal process. The pin is part of the arm cast.

Next I used a ring from a lower arm of a Gi joe figure. In my case used a 25th lady j because ofthe color. Female rings are smaller. although small still I had to trim it in order to fit the shoulder and pin. Once inside put a little glue on the pin side you cut and squeeze it. That's it.

Which I had photos of the process but I never took them. If someone is willing to send me their figures I think I can fix them.

I think I may try that. I think I have some ankle swivel hinges lying around that would require less trimming than anything else I've got. Thanks for sharing. I wasn't sure how cutting the pin would hold up, so it's good to hear it worked well for you.

That, and a newly tooled Burton Batwing.

Saw these at TRU, may try to track down a Batman Beyond and Red Hood.

The Bane pack looks like a better deal with more newer figs vs the Grundy pack.

Ninjinister 12-11-2014 06:03 PM

Yeah I already have everything in the Grundy pack other than Grundy. I've never seen or heard of this Bane pack, though. Good find!

Specter 12-11-2014 07:22 PM

Redhood's head might get some great use.

thewriteguy 12-11-2014 11:33 PM

It's kinda ironic that the evergreen 4" figures, which are meant to be played by kids, are actually more pose-able than the MV line.

Barnes & Noble does as well.
