Well, I must say you did a great job! I notice you don't have any seams showing on the legs. I assume you used model putty? Which brand?

I used Testors putty and a fingernail file.

The old website has a great thread on building and painting an Aurora version. There's a key to the color of the uniform, and a spray of dullcoat to mute the cape. I'll see if I can dig it up, but I know I made a comment as well as Kevin White - but I don't recall his user name here.

Brilliant job - I just saw the Catwoman statue at the local comic shop last week. I'll have to sneak that one into the house...

Thanks for the reply. Testor's putty huh? Either they changed their formula and made it easier to use or you my friend have the patience of a saint!

These look amazing! I have two questions.

1) What type of skill level are these? Can someone just starting building/painting models be able to do these or will they be a little out of league?

2) When does Robin come out? I may have missed it online.
Robin: Atomic batteries to power. Turbines to speed.

Batman: Roger. Ready to move out.

The models are not difficult at all in my opinion. In fact, I found them quite fun. The painting depends on how detailed you want to be. Painting the faces was the most difficult. The details are quite small. But the sculpts are great and I found that the pieces all fit together very easily.

Robin is listed as due out "2nd quarter 2015" according to Big Bad Toy Store and "June 2015" according to Entertainment Earth.

Hope you get a chance to do these kits and enjoy them as much as I did. Be sure to post your results!

Mike; great job on both Batman and the Catwoman. I am a HUGE fan of these kits and the extra steps Moebius took to REALLY capture not only the likenesses of the actors but a REALISTIC look of a likeness BEHIND a mask (particularly in the case of Batman). Robin WAS scheduled to be released 2nd quarter, but Frank (Winspur, owner/CEO of Moebius) told me that has been pushed back until the fall. On a VERY positive note, the sculptures for the Riddler and Penguin have both been completed AND approved by Warner, so all three SHOULD be in stores before Christmas! I have seen pictures of the Riddler, and w/o a doubt it is the BEST sculpt of Gorshin done so far! BTW, the kit will include TWO different headsculpts and two different right arms (one wielding the question mark cane carried by John Astin in his appearance as the Prince of Puzzlers), MUCH to look forward to from Moebius! :D

Hello everyone! First post on here, but not a board n00b, nor a new modeler. I've been bulding for over 36 years now. And in that time, we've never been graced with a good, accurate, readily available and affordable line of characters. Until now. I'm glad Moebius answered the call!
So here's my rendition. Enjoy!

These all look great! I would think about getting one but I already have my prized Hot Toys Adam West Batman. Maybe the Catwoman one though!

Finished Robin and Penguin recently. I think that the Penguin is the most impressive model they have done so far (and the most tricky). I wish my photos did them justice, but here is my effort so far.

Finally finished my Joker model. Does anyone have any inside information on the release of the 1/8 Batgirl model to complete this collection? A couple weeks ago I emailed the company that purchased Moebius, but I have not received a reply.

I saw a pic of someone's work on the Batgirl kit, just now, on Facebook. Was she just released?
