[haytil]

thank you lol i dont have the origanal first or second one i missed out on it but am just now getting the demon batman so i was just wondering how it would look thats all thanks though ill find out in like four days

Unlike the DX Batman and the OC Batman, the Demon Batman has a very unique neck slot. It's not a ball and peg like every other Hot Toys figure.

Superb marf. What did you do to that again, cape, cowl and beefed up the body?

^^ Nice display dude, though I suggest you position his cape like Marf did to his OC.

Thank Rob, actually just the cape and beefed up the body

That is awesome I like the cape like that, gives him a sort-of comic book vibe, if that makes sense.

My friend who is visiting in HK and whom I asked to keep an eye out for this figure called me from there and said that he had found one in a store. The storekeeper quoted him a price of $640...

I told him to catch the next flight back to India

Do you have trouble getting stuff delivered to you in India? Been trying to help a new boardie, annihilate22, source parts for his T-800 figure but some sites that have the parts he needs won't ship to India.

I find it hard to take good pics of mine, you took a fantastic one here.

Oh him? hahaha he's a friend of mine. I always asked him to join this board. I used to lurk for 3 years before joining last year and have reaped a lot of benefits! He finally go his first HT with that T2T800 and said this time he'll go no holds barred trying to 'pimp it up'

Yes we do have problems getting stuff delivered here. India is like unknown territory for most dealers and people. Since not many collectors here we get looked at with a little suspicion in case its a scam etc etc. Also it qualifies as a 'faraway place' for most people so they arent sure where there goods are going. Its more of a psychological thing. Coupled together with our govt's policies which arent very favourable to international money transfer (Even Western Union isnt allowed to send money abroad, only domestically) But his biggest advantage is that he has managed to setup his own Paypal account! I use his account sometimes to make payments whenever I had to buy from here or ebay. However there is a cap on that too. Too many Paypal payments might make govt officials knock at your door...

Ah. Theres these grenades I'd like to get to him but its not an ideal situation with the site not shipping to India. To ship them to me in Ireland it costs a rather ridiculous $32.25, some of which later gets refunded back to me. Just it may be a big ask for Annihilate to to pay me that amount and rely on me, someone he doesn't know, to later give him the benefit of the refund, whatever it may be. Plus then whatever it'll cost to ship them from Ireland to India, $5.00 or so with registered post. 82c if I sent them without any tracking. Then my worry is about Indian customs. I read negative things about them holding items for up to and over a month for no particular reason. Annihilate said they ripped open the box of his T-800. wtf? Do they check everything big or small?

Well I think the situation he's in, he WILL trust you... and hey you are like a big authority in the Terminator threads.A long time member witha spotless rep, he SHOULD trust you.

Indian customs though a pain (like any other customs) are NOT that bad also. I have tried a lot of stuff and hit on a simple formula. His T2 box was damaged as the marked value of the item was at $240. In India if you want the customs to TOTALLY ignore your box, you mark the value to ANYTHING below $100... I got my Enterbay Kato in 3 days 3 DAYS!! which included a Sunday!!! It was posted with EMS on Friday in Hong Kong and came to me in Kolkata on Monday!! It was marked at $80 and didnt have a scratch. Best way to get things like this into India is to opt for EMS. Try anything else and items tend to get 'misplaced'.
Chuck Schuldiner's (RIP) mom once sent me a t-shirt of his and a book 3 YEARS back... Its yet to come. I get pissed at the thought of some postal worker's kid wearing a Death T-shirt that was Chuck's and then throwing it away...

Anyway thats just my rambling on the Postal Service here... main things to note when wanting to send anything to India securely and not to get any damages

1. Mark Item value below $100
2. Use EMS...

Thats it... Ive done that for 2 years now and NOTHING has been misplaced/stolen or confiscated and held up ever since.

Of course our customs arent idiots, if you send a DX04 size box and mark that as $30... you are in for trouble. Good thing is $90/$80 works in those situations because thats like 4 grand for us... and plastic toys worth 4k with that kinda packaging is ok for them. But anything more than that!! They start to think that drugs may be concealed etc etc

EDIT: I just realised why NAM was
Sorry dude If you send Grenades from Ireland to India I will sincerely hope that customs catch it and get hold of both of you.

 

[a-dev]

1/6 scale toy grenades! Yeah I probably should have been clearer on that

 

[spiderbo]

Are there any mods people have done to this figure? I hate to admit it but it's not that impressive straight outta the box. It's like the suit is way to big for the figure. Please don't hate me ha ha

 

[Maglor]

Do you mean you can feel the body shifting around within the suit? That shouldn't effect the way it looks though, right?


If it really bothers you, some have carefully stuffed the suit with cotton (Thrustmaster and Marfmaster maybe?). I did this with my Takara Batman, but that's mainly because he was too skinny... although the suit felt loose on the body as well.

 

[spiderbo]

It's like there is PLENTY of room for stuffing. Does thy make sense. No it doesn't affect the look. I dunno really. Sorry.
