The Unofficial Custom Takara Batman Thread

^^^A good trade imo.


Keeping mine because of my mods, but a stock Takara figure for this would be a trade up I think.

Yes, I never have regreted switching the bodies. Whoever is posing his Takara as first night out should go for it. Will open a thread later.

Well I know the body was worked on and stuffed with cotton so he doesn't look skinny. I forgot if the head got worked on but when I had a chance to get it re-painted by betomatali, I had to do it.

Yep th head was completely resculpted. I can't wait to see my sculpt being painted up by someone with better painting skills than me! I'm getting a bit better at sculpting and my previous "ok" paint skills aren't doing my sculpts any justice now

That body with Adam's Bruce Wayne head would be an amazing first night out figure.

If someone is interested, I would like to trade my custom Takara Batman suit on a Hot Toys body for a regular one. I was able to upgrade my jumpsuit Bruce with a Hot Toys OC suit and now I want to display the Takara as Batman, however Id have to change the bodies again. Its quite a pain and turned out nice so if someone wants to trade, PM me.

Once again, for clearrification: I only want to trade the body+suit. Not the other Takara parts.

Pics below and more if needed.

So to get things straight, your not including the mask and the spelunking gear?

Correct.

You give Takara suit + Takara body (unmodified figure)

You get Takara suit + Hot Toys body

I dont even have a takara to trade, but for a decent price i might buy him off ya!
EDIT: Just found out I cant buy from other members for 3 months since I'm new

 

[ZaCHw117]

Just scored one off ebay for 180$!!! I'll post pics!
Now all I need to Hunt down is A DX Joker, Scarecrow and another Takbats and my collection will be complete Oh wait, that's a lot of money
And But can you still buy stuff at the marketplace even if you haven't been on the board for 3 months?

 

[Maglor]

Congrats Zach!


Not sure about the marketplace question...

 

[ZaCHw117]

Thanks Mag! Trying to decide if I'm gonna beef him up or keep him skinny and pose him in the prototype outfit.
Trying to decide on a balaclava, which do you like better?
Thick:

Or Thin:
https://cgi.ebay.com/Wild-Toys-1-6-...ultDomain_0&hash=item3f09f7e912#ht_1659wt_902

I was hoping that I could buy stuff since you guys on the board are WAY more fair with you pricing then the scalpers on ebay. Especially with your Dx Jokers

 

[Maglor]

I wanna say the cut of the Thick one is closer to what was on screen, but I would pick the Thin one because it sells the scale better.

 

[Mr. EcKo]

DOES ANYONE HAVE AN EXTRA TAKARA BATMAN BEGINS HARNESS THAT THEY COULD POSSIBLY SELL ME PLEASE?

 

[ZaCHw117]

bump

 

[KingGrayskull]

I have the thick one and I am pretty happy with. Yet the thin one does look alot better in the pics. I havent mine displayed on his head but holding in his hands and it does the job...

Wait? The two different versions have different heads or something? You lost me.

 

[KingGrayskull]

No. Sorry.

Once again:

I have the thick mask for my Bruce, which I am pretty happy with. However judging from the pics, the thin mask looks superior. Nevertheless I am happy with the thick mask I have. My Bruce is holding the mask in his hands. He is not wearing it.

Cleared?

I read this and thought of something completely different

 

[KingGrayskull]

Ha! yes there is a slight double meaning.

 

[ZaCHw117]

No. Sorry.

cleared! Yeah, I went with the thin. It, along with my actual batman should be here today or tomorrow!!

 

[KingGrayskull]

I still have a Takara Batman suit on a Hot Toys body. I am looking to trade this for a Takara Batman suit on the Takara body.
I prefer it with the Hot Toys body, but I was able to upgrade my first night out with a HT OC suit so I want to display Takara Bats in its original shape again. I could switch the bodies again, but taking it of is such a pain I would prefer trading. I throw in the original Takara I have left and dont need anymore, so you basically get a HT body for free.
My suit has 3 marks that are barely noticeable. I will send pics to whoever is interested.

Nice. Don't forget to post pics!
