Re: Penguin Air Indicator Prop 1:6 scale - Fine Finny Fiends

rsaffle , once again, you are producing amazing work, no matter the scale!

If only you would tackle a 1:6 scale Wayne study table (only) with Shakespeare bust, Batphone, and a sort of "isolated" sliding bookshelf....

Re: NECA TMNT Lab Diorama - could be converted to Batgirl’s hidden change room?

Interesting find. The bricks on the TMNT playset are larger tham those on the Gordon wall, but it looks like the kind of changes you would find in a toy version. Same with the circular exit.

Re: McFarlane 7” 1939 Batman

It looks robotic--like a Lego Batman, and the ears are just plain incorrect. I believe DC Direct's Detective Comics #27 Batman (from the company's First Appearance wave 1 from 2004) captured the character perfectly for the 6 -7 inch scale: https://www.joeacevedo.com/images/figurezone/dcdfigures/dcdb...

Re: 66 Hornet playing cards backer art recreation

I have a couple sets of the Hornet playing cards from 66 like several of you probably do. I had never seen the original packaging until this week. Apparently it is pretty rare and I only found 2 images online. One in an article about the cards and a better image from a recent auction. I love the pa...

Re: Hot Wheels Green Hornet Custom Copter & Boat

Immensely creative work, although I cannot see GH naming his boat "Black Dreamboat" in-universe!

Re: Wonder Boy bust sculpture in the works...

Hi All, I'm working on a Burt Ward bust to go with the Adam West bust. Still a long way to go but it's getting there. It feels good to be pushing clay! This hair is just place keeping for a wig so I can get the right skull shape. I'm thinking of also making it available with sculpted hair for those...

Re: Hot Wheels First Batmobile

but what's the point really? Just because something has a Batman logo on the package it's collectible? I buy what I like not buy everything and anything that says the word Batman on it or I'd be broke. I have to draw a line somewhere right? True. It begs the question: "am I really into this an...

Re: Green Hornet figure from Coin-op kiddie ride

Thanks for sharing the photos. Not every TV series would get the kiddie-car treatment, and it seems to be undeniable that the wealth of licensed GH merchandise produced saturated in so many categories just in 1966 is an indicator of how Dozier intended the series to be a major hit. I cannot be certa...

Re: McFarlane Toys doing Batman 66 figures?

Maybe Saturn/Mars Toys will go deeper with their 1/12 line, but I doubt it. 1/12 line--or did you mean 1:6 scale. If its the latter, I seriously doubt any company would go deep with characters few are aware of, and as a result, would not be profitable. Only major licenses for IPs like Star Wars and...

Re: Holiday Gift!

That's such a pitch-perfect photo of GH; it captures just the kind of character the GH was, and he was to be taken seriously. I love that!

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #212: That’s no bat, boy, that’s Captain Nice!

Fascinating analysis of a...well, horrible show, guys, and yes, I've punished myself by watching a couple of episodes thanks to my friend who bought a VHS of a few episodes at a comic convention in the '90s! While Captain Nice brought some really funny moments, it failed to catch on with audiences. ...

Re: 1/8 Batmobile Mego scaled from Fanhome

To each his own, but for me spending two grand on a Batmobile to carry Mego figures is like buying a solid gold picture frame to display "Dogs Playing Poker." Well put! I agree that a screen-accurate Batmobile is utterly out of place with any 8-inch figure, whether its the original or new...
