BATMOBILES

I am still keeping my eyes open for the 1/64 scale Brave and the Bold Batmobile and still no sign of it in the stores yet. I think they stagger the new releases but I don’t know if there is a schedule or is there is how it exactly it works. I will need to get a few of them so my son’s can have their own. Actually there are no 1/50 scale batmobiles either. There is a Toy show this Sunday maybe I will go and have a look if I can swing it.

Mego Riddler

I got a Mego Riddler. He has no belt and his hands are not original, but other than that he is in pretty good nick. I also got a DC Direct Hush Catwoman. They went straight into a box. I need to start looking for some Mego replacement parts.

New DC Direct 13” Batman figure

There is a new DC Direct 13” Batman figure based on the Alex Ross book Justice. And man I am really excited about this one. I know the photo is of a prototype so there will most likely be some changes but it looks really good. It looks like the body and the costume is pretty much the same as the first DC Direct Batman figure, but the boots, hands and obviously head sculpt are different. The cape also looks longer which I really like so I hope that is the same on the final product. I really hope they keep them coming because I really want a Frank Miller, Jim Lee and an Andy Kubert versions and I am pretty sure I am not the only one. How about a Tim Drake Robin figure and where is the Riddler they have not done a Riddler yet. As much as I would like to see those and other figures and as much as I will of course have to get them, it is really the Batman figures I most want to see and of course have to get. I know I am getting way ahead of myself, but it is just that I am so excited about this figure. It is almost like this figure is a sign of things to come almost like some one somewhere heard my ramblings and agreed with me.

EBay loss

I can not believe how bummed out I am, I was bidding on a Batman figure lot and lost. I would have been great it was a big lot and I needed every one of them but one. And I lost out, Frak’n EBay snipers! I am not really sure why I am so worked up about this I knew I was not going to win it, I guess I got that itch and I want to buy something new.

Batman Statues

My Batman statues arrived. I got the Dark Horse DC classic Batman and the Super friends Batman maquette. Both are awesome! They are limited additions the Dark Horse Batman statue a few years ago I was trying to get one off EBay but they were going for way to much and just gave up. The maquette I had seen a few time and I quite liked it but thought it was out of my price range. I got them both for a great price way lower than I would have paid for either of them individually. Anyway nedless to say I am vary pleased.

Hot Toys Joker head swap

I finally got around to swapping the heads on my HT Jokers. I was a little nervous about it but now that I have done it I have to admit I think they look a lot better.

DC Universe figures

I got a couple of DC Universe 75th anniversary figures the other day, Batman of course and Nightwing. I had to have the Batman but I kind of wanted the Nightwing as I realized I don’t have a Nightwing figure. I am not a huge Nightwing fan but you kind of need one in the collection plus it’s not a bad figure.
