Congrats again Rob!

On another good note, I actually located the original box and all accessories for mine so the buyer is getting a fully complete one too.

how much would this guy go for second hand in the uk?

never opened? How do people resist.

Well opened for photos, just never removed. Still has all the plastic wrapping on! Definitely what i'd call mint in the box!!

Congrats again Rob! I just watched BB the other night with my wife and spent more time looking at this figure (detolf is right next to the TV) than the movie

Thanks man!

Thanks Tim. That's awesome, I bet the buyer is really pleased. I have to say though bud, I never imagined you selling this one. Was the money for him too good to turn down? I bet you had some thinking to do before deciding to sell him!!

So thinking about a custom cape, what's the deal with that? Do you have to do irreversible mods to your fig? Cheers for any info.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Yeh bud. Difficult sell but I imagine I will be wanting the Keaton Bats and will only want one Batman. Also, with bats, vader and t800 my shelf was looking too dark. But hard decision indeed.


Regarding the cape, you will have to remove the cape clips. These can be pulled out in one piece I believe but they are easy to snap. No problem if they do as the custom cape will cover where they were. Then you have to attach them to the cowl
Easiest. Way is with a piece of card or small thin plastic. Will show you once I am on my laptop, (on my phone now), unless someone wants to oblige and jump in before me.

Fair enough man!

I got mine yesterday. Superb figure. Gets better each time I look at it.

As with the DX, the cape is better than I imagined! And although i'm hesitant to do such mods on my OC Bats I can see myself getting a custom cape soon. Thanks for the info on how to do it mate!

I finally got around to padding my OG suit with some cotten balls, makes the figure look 100x better

Hey guys, need some advice. Was just trying to change the hands on my OC Bats and the wrist peg came off in the hand rather than staying in the arm. When i tried to get it out of the hand it snapped. Anyone know what i can use to replace them? Apparently the DX and Demon Bats have different wrist pegs?
HELP!!

 

[haytil]

You'll need the old style wrist pegs. They're thicker than what's used nowadays. They were used in the OC Batman, TDK v1 Batman, and DX Batman releases. The Bat-Demon uses the new peg, so no luck there.

But for sure the DX Batman used the old pegs, so you might find one of those easier.

 

[Russell1982]

Awesome, thanks dude. I remember reading that demon bats had different wrist pegs but wasn't sure about the DX. Should have spares from my DX. Thanks again dude.

 

[PacMan3000]

Hate to bump this unnecessarily, but does anyone in this thread have a dremel? Was hoping I could send a neck peg to some kind soul willing to shave it down some so that the Bale head that comes with this figure looks normal and doesn't have the giraffe neck.

 

[Maglor]

I finally broke down and bought one so that I don't always have to use nail files and exacto blades.

But I haven't done anything with it yet, so i'm definitely not the guy you want to send it to!
