Those are really nice, man! Got a bigger pic of the Arkham Batman, by chance? Also, that running Supes is phenomenal. Love it!

Welcome aboard, MightyQ, and you are mighty, indeed! Your figures are all beautifully clean and really as anatomically perfect as I've seen an 8" figure. The Keaton custom is spot-on, but I REALLY love the Arkham Batman. I think he looks cool in the game and you transitioned that into three dimensions with extraordinary grace and---dare I say, beauty. I'm gonna be watching for your stuff in the future. You've set bar high---so the next stuff HAS to be killer! Well done!

Welcome aboard! What is that Michael Keaton Batman suit made out of ? Is it just a figure with a hard body that is painted on a sculpt? I'm curious because it looks so good! ALL OF THEM DO!!

hi guys,
the foreign edition, wich i like better, this was so bad!! the costume wasnt worth a dime, the hair and eyebrows had major rubs...but.....the figure was in great shape......so....i bought a custom costume....used the original boots.....but the hard part was to paint the hair....i couldnt just do any old black....i wanted it to look almost exactly like the original.....impossible....just about,,,but i came close...i mixed 4 different blacks.....a little here a little there..took awhile before i was happy with the right amount of mix.... so with a little work you can really make your 77 12 inch superman into a brand new looking figure.....i am going to work on the c. reeve 12 inch with a hot toys costume, but i fear it wont stretch over the muscular body type....mego....a big draw back is the feet and hands do not just pop off like a hot toy...will show it if i can get him fitted....

my tom welling...the head sculpt is from head play....i think its one of the best i seen.....easy throw together
http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o297/mightyq117/029-4.jpg
another easy custom...i used a true type body, wich you may think i am nuts, but is better than the hot toys reeve body...the thighs arent as big....i tried so many body types to find the right reeve body.......what do you guys think?? good reeve body or no good......i did use hot toys boots for this one.....they just are better boots overall....the head was soo hard...i had to drill almost the entire head hollow. i wanted movement, i could have been lazy and just glued it straight and been done with it...but it does have a ball joint gluued inside that connects to the swivel on the neck....limited up and down, moves side to side....happier i did it that way.

if this is not ok with the moderator by all means take it down...but since its sci-fi related i figured i would show it.
guys,
this is my 1993 lunar models of robby the robot and the b-9 lost in space, i had these commissioned for me by a master builder of model diorama's.......complete with led's and 120 second sound cards, the b-9 does not have his sound card as of yet......i love the way they came out...

Cool stuff, Mightyq! Nice job on both of them, but I'll always be partial to the B9 Robot, I guess 'cause I grew up watching him almost everyday when I was kid! I look forward to his soundcard!

Thanks for the compliments guys, but I have a lot of help with them, I didn't do the Keaton, my buddy did, copied from a 12 inch from an unknown u.kncustom wich I will post a pic of. The arkham bat is also his custom, one of 10 made. I have many more done by him and that I have done. I like to do dioramas, and take pics (obviously) :smile: I also love to customize the old 1960's aurora models.....breaking down a superman at this moment....ok will post some more great pics of rare one of a kind figures.

hi guys,
i took my hot toys fortress of solitude diorama and added led's to each crystal, with a 9 volt for power, built into the base underneath, easily access for changing, an on/off switch located at the back...these would go well with any superman mego also...
