    Mattel Batman Emblem - Is Mine Different?

    Hey everyone. I've seen a lot of posts lately about the new Batman emblems being a sticker that falls off. I've attached a picture of mine below, and as you can see it appears to be a silkscreen type material; you can see the weave of the fabric in the emblem. It's still on the card so I can't inspect it directly, but it definitely doesn't look like something that would peel off. I was just curious if there are different types of emblems floating around out there.

        I'm hoping to see some pictures of the emblems that fell off to see if they look like a similar material. I really can't imagine this one peeling off in one piece. Now cracking into a million pieces . . . that's another story. I wouldn't dare try to remove the outfit. The slightest stretch and this thing would probably be history.

          My Superman is done that way as well. But I heard if you try to remove the Costume...the Emblem will crack.

            I got a case of these yesterday, and all three of mine are like the one above.

                Mine fell off too. Shouldn't be long before someone starts selling replacement stickers.

                  Was it a silk screen emblem or a sticker?

                    The one I had that fell off seems like a heat transfer type of thing. An 'iron on' as it were, but it does not appear to have had enough heat to seal it to the material and bite into the weave of the fabric. So it ended up like a little rubber sticker that peeled away from the suit when the jumper was removed.

                      My emblem looks like the one in the picture now that I've heat-sealed it into place with an iron. Before, it didn't seem to show the texture of the fabric through it.

                        The emblems are heat sealed on. Mattel is looking into why they are coming loose.

                        The emblem peeled off easily from the loose Batman I have but I re-attached it
                        with glue stick - same thing I do with all emblems.

                          My emblem looks like this one. As soon as I moved Batman's arms it started cracking. It looks like it is ten years old.

                            Dr. Mego - is there a glue stick that you recommend.
