Re: Diamond Unveils Shakespeare Bust at NY Toy Fair

The old resin ones were painted with a high gloss copper paint which is incorrect to the show. The one Diamond has shown looks closer to the antique copper but it is still not red enough. I dismantle the bust, remove the neckpiece, the incorrect light, and incorrect switch. The bust is then prepared...

Re: Diamond Unveils Shakespeare Bust at NY Toy Fair

I started a sculpt about a month before Diamond made it's announcement and scrapped it once I saw the 3D sculpt and it's price point. Yes, the sculpt is not exact but for the money it will work for me just fine. I have sourced the right bulb, switch and switch plate to update the diamond bust if the...

Re: Diamond Unveils Shakespeare Bust at NY Toy Fair

The owner of the original payed around $40,000 for the original piece so I don't believe anyone could sweet talk him into having a mold or scan made from it. If he did and all of a sudden there are 3,000 exact replicas out there the only thing that sets his apart is that he has the original. Trust m...

Re: Diamond Unveils Shakespeare Bust at NY Toy Fair

Holy Bat Guano! This just saved me a lot of work and retailing at $65!!! Excellent. Depending on what type of plastic this is done in will make the decision if electronics can be added or not. Plus, I'm guessing the neck plate does not come out making it extremely hard to put the electronics in. Any...

Re: 2015 Hallmark ornaments

The Joker figure is very limited. I couldn't find it on the wall with the rest of the ornaments and the clerk asked me if i was looking for a particular ornament and I said I was looking for the 1966 Batman Joker. She said "Oh, that one. It's limited and we have it at the counter." I asked...

Re: Whence those chest emblems in the "Bat Resources" section?

I believe the art in that section might be mine or Lee's. I'm not positive as it was a long time ago.

Re: Batman ornament art piece

I've done this and it looks great hanging by my work table. Wally, make sure you meaure the depth of the shadow box, the standard one I bought at the craft store wasn't deep enough if I used the back that came with it. I had to make a new back so Batman's finger wouldn't be pressed against the glass...
