Re: Robin's utility belt - small detail

Thanks, Chuck! I can sleep peacefully now! ;) Those were really creative solutions, Ian. BTW, this belt will in NO way be screen accurate - I'm making my own faux belt buckle, and the belt will snap together in back, like my "stunt" Batman utility belt. It's just for fun. But it's nice to ...

Robin's utility belt - small detail

Howdy. I'm in the process of making a Robin costume, and while I was making utility belt parts, I came across a small detail that I had a question about. I looked at all the photographic evidence I could scrounge up, but didn't see the info I was looking for. Who here has seen the Hardeman suits in ...

Re: Robin Costume Build

Matching a color is nigh on impossible unless you do it in person, so I recommend seeking out a local fabric store. If they don't have what you want, there are lots of places online you can order, but all bets are off in terms of matching colors. All computers are calibrated differently, so no scann...

Re: Batgirl Batty Award replica

This is something I'm also working on. Proportions look great. Base is terrific. I'm having a great deal of trouble sourcing an appropriate column. Not to nitpick, but rather as an observation that might help, I'm pretty sure "BATTY" is also italic. And if you have any flexibility in the s...

Re: Robin Costume Build

I am NOT an expert, but I've done some research, maybe enough to help you with a close-enough for a child. The original green shirt was an off-the-rack Fruit-of-the-Loom tee. When I went shopping for one, I could not find a good color match to the original, which I assume was dyed, as it's a muted g...

Re: FTC Catwoman! - Catwomen.

I hope they change the hair color on the Newmar Catwoman - way too dark. Looks more like Lee's color.

Re: News about upcoming Batman Toys

...it's not cheap, but 6' is about 1/2 scale (little under)... Not to be a stickler, here, but the Batmobile is 19' long, so, this inflatable is considerably less than 1/2 scale. Yes, the price is crazy - the 13' tall inflatable Ghostbusters Stay Puft marshmallow man was only $150! Of course, that ...

Re: Rest in Peace - Fred Westbrook

I kind of thought something might be up, as Fred was absent from Adam's recent high-profile appearances. Still shocking. At last year's Chiller Theatre photo op with Adam, Burt, and Julie, when I walked into the room with my replica prop, Fred was the one who exclaimed, "A super powered bat mag...

Re: FINALLY able to talk about this...

Wally, I was in the audience at the NYCC premiere screening this evening. I had not seen this thread before the screening, so I had no idea you voiced the Riddler. Every time he spoke, I kept thinking, "Who on earth did they get? That's so perfect!" Terrific job! Congrats, and I hope you g...

Re: Batcharge Launcher

The prop from that auction you cited has never been proven to be a screen used prop. Burt said it was one given to him by a prop guy. I seriously doubt it is screen used. For one, it's black. The prop as used on screen is clearly deep blue. Many of the other details don't match up with what can be s...
