The Latest Batman Item You've Acquired?

[Jczernich]

Scored this at a Target yesterday. Wasn't even looking for it!

That's actually pretty cool. The Super Powers collection really brings back the memories. Congrats on the purchase.

Thanks! It looks even better in person. The figure looks so much like the José Luis García-López (praised be his name) art on the package!

This mug actually says "F Bomb", but I thought of another use...

I am having something along these lines drawn by Patrick Owsley. It should be nifty when it’s done.

Just found out that they also did this version for “DC Comics Presents” Batman #1.

The covers point out how much better Batman's costume was in the 1960s vs what we get today.

That made me laugh out loud.

Well, I definitely don't need my reading glasses for that one!

These are my 1/6th scale Bruce, Dick and Alfred from Unleashed Viper customs. Dick Grayson I left untouched, just as he came. The only thing I used from the Bruce Wayne figure was the head. I put it on a taller body and bought custom clothing items off of eBay. I made the ascot and handkerchief from some blue taffeta.

The Alfred figure I just completed this weekend. Again, the only thing I used from the original was the head. I put it on an extremely tall Haoyu Toys Super Sportsman 2.0 body (basically a basketball player body). The suit is custom made by Gee Whiz customs. And the glasses are some clear glasses from eBay colored with an alcohol marker to match Alfred's actual glasses. It took about 9 months for the custom suit to be completed, so I've waited a long time to see them all together. Given Alan Napier's height and how hard it is to find a suitable body that tall, I'm very happy with how it turned out scalewise.
