    Well, I don't have prints of the original Batcave, but I have some of my custom, if you're interested.

        In my experience the problem with trying to duplicate the artwork on a vinyl playset is the vinyl itself. I photographed my Hall of Justice and found it to be a very difficult to photograph it directly enough so that I could stitch the images together into one piece. Scanning through the vinyl is pretty much impossible as well. So I don't think you will find someone who has what you are looking for.

        If I was planning on making a new one anyway I would take the playset you have apart and remove the vinyl from it. Then you can scan the cardboard on a flatbed scanner and doctor it up in Photoshop.

          As a professional photographer and graphic artist by trade it would not be as hard as you think! I actually have someons sending me one, and I just purchased 1/2 of the cave on ebay, Im going to make a good repro, LOL if its the last thing i do! Im going to make the stickers and and stick them to styrene board, it wont be a 100% accurate repro but it should look awesome, Id love to do the hall of justice and wayne foundation next! One project atta time tho!

          LOL

          Thanks for the Ideas Scott!
