That's a shame, still I'd be more than happy to keep my Catman together :classic:

Haha same, he is a really awesome looking figure. :thumbup:

Has anyone attempted to create any of the Marvel/DC Amalgam characters?

Is there any you'd like to see? I can try and mix some up later

i made super soldier since he seemed easy to make. i took the captain america figure from 76017 Captain America vs. Hydra, replaced his hip piece with a red one, and gave him mr. incredible's hair piece and flesh colored hands.

the hair piece isn't great but i can't think of any others that'd work better for him, and sadly there's not really a way to do his shield so he winds up just sort of looking like captain america but with a mask that exposes his hair.

It's been a while! (I have been in here before--I couldn't seem to log into my old account when the forums switched servers, so I ended up making a new one. My user name was JasonTJ I think? Something like that :P Anyways, I finally got around to playing Arkham Knight...

Scarecrow was rather thrown together as I just got that set, but I'm fond of the result. Bane was based loosely off of someone else's I saw in here (basically the use of those legs.) I had wanted a comic-y Bane that didn't have a plunging neckline per the Lego 'figs, so the mix of luchador and military tactical works well for me.
 

Man-Bat I revisited because while Scarecrow is the main villain in the game... The worst jump-scare for me was when Man-Bat showed up the first time. He was a lot cooler than I'd realized, and I think a big part of that was just how basic his minifigure was. So I decided to try making him a bit more animalistic.

 

In other news, I made a few Young Justice additions since watching Season 2, and I guess I've not posted those here, so.

As for Miss Martian, I would have preferred Lady Liberty's head, but that's too expensive for the time being. And as soon as I posted the picture I realized I now have olive green hands from the Hulk Polybag, so she's received those to match her skin-tone unless I swap the head out.

Super Soldier (Cap x Superman), Dark Claw (Wolverine x Batman) and Spider-Boy (Spider-Man x Superboy) are the obvious ones given that there are figures for all of those characters.

Now that I've posted that Bane... Anyone have any build ideas for adding his toxin in some sort of backpack that doesn't look like a blender? I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for, but.

Have you seen the Dimensions version of it? It that doesn't float your boat maybe a quick Google search might bring something up :)

I'm using a 1x1 with studs on all sides, fitted with trans-lime-green studs on the four vertical sides, and the LD pressure gauge on the back.

That's the one I was calling a blender ?

Hm. I'll just have to mess around with some things. I may just leave him backpack-less, so long as I don't have a bigfig for him to bulk up into, anyways.

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I made this version which I think works pretty good for bulking Bane up a little bit, and looks better than the "blender" version, to boot.

I don't have any shots of what it looks like from the back, but it's made by connecting the middle stud of a black 1x2 plate onto a black back stud neck bracket, attaching two black modified 1x1 "clip light" plates, with the 'rings' facing vertically to the back of that, covering those two studs with a black 1x2 tile, and then, attaching four trans neon-green round 1x1 open stud bricks onto each of the exposed 'rings' on the 1x1 clip light plates, and then covering the tops of the four trans neon-green round 1x1 open stud bricks with four corresponding flat silver 1x1 round tiles.

If that sounds confusing, it looks something like this. :)

All I ask of you if you do use that design, and post it someplace, just credit me and/or link back to the Flickr post where you got it from. Thanks.

Happy building! - The Big Red Cheese

Another Flash rogue today- the James Jesse Trickster

Nice job, but I feel like that suit is inherently Walker-like. Jesse was more chaotic in his costume, and he also had blonde hair. :)

Thanks. A lot of the time I choose designs that look good to me but are not too accurate to the source material

It's funny that you say that because I feel like the vast majority of your designs are disturbingly accurate in regards to the source material, and this is coming from a hardcore collector, so . . .

You're very welcome! While I have your attention, did you happen to update your Godspeed?

I haven't been able to acquire the boots yet. However I did give him lighting pieces as accessories and the regular motorcycle helmet for a more Flash-like appearance :classic:

:excited: I can't wait to see that! I'd wait for the boots before posting though because they'll really be the icing on the cake!

It's no problem! In other news, I figured out a good way to make uber classic James Jesse Trickster!

CMF Dog Show Winner's Hair (or the BVS variant in a blondish color), Robin '66 face, the back of Ringo's torso with yellow arms and flesh hands, Axel Walker's hips, ironically enough, and the new city scuba diver's red striped legs, with blue 1x1 modified tooth plates beneath for his air shoes. :)

Forgot some parts. :P

fantastic stuff! where does the robotic arm you used for barrage come from?

Thanks! I believe that's from the CMF Space Villain from a few waves back!
