Heres most of mine, but not all, about three quarters: hehe, just ignore the other junk :-$ Batbrick Away! >:-)

Missed this one too! Sorry again! :-$ I like this one, not as much as the Incan Cave Racer, but you've definitely done something different and diverse which is really great. The snow monster is cool, however I think he would look better with two eyes. As usual a great choice of figs, the dead Hun is superb and an excellent use of the Patrick torso. The vehicle itself is very slick, I love the sled wings, and the trans blue choice is a good one. I think it needs better controls though, but maybe I'm just getting picky now. Overall a fantastic entry, I wish you luck with it. Batbrick Away! >:-)

Woops! missed this! Sorry :-$ I love the way you've constructed the head SirNadroj, and the three spinning cutters are a great touch, love the use of palm tree pieces *y* I do like the cockpit, it is as you say unique, but I can understand that there would be criticisms as it does not allow for good detailing or controls. Excellent fig choices too, but overall the Incan head is the best, you should try a scene with a part of a temple or something, that would look fantastic. Batbrick Away! >:-)

Thanks for that interview, its always very interesting to hear about the design process and development of new molds. Quite long, but very intriguing, I was surprised to hear that his son helps decide on new molds, thanks for shedding light on this Badger (you don't mind if i call you that do you?), things like a baseball bat or brown weaponry and rifles would certainly look good. I will definitely be making some purchases from Brickarms one day, the quality is fantastic, thanks again *sweet* Batbrick Away! >:-)

I was not referring to JUST the new castle line, I was referring to all castle lines ;-) Batbrick Away! >:-)

Nice, if its pretty close then thats fine, my Killer Croc boat mod fits mostly, but good enough. I see your a fan of these looping dilemmas, with comments like these: "I prefer to see it that he's so insane, he's almost sane" "Keep in mind we're so off topic, that we've come back round behind it and are now back onto it" :-P Oh, and Bat Moc'N'Mods 2 is up now! Go here now if you want to have a purpose in life! Batbrick Something! *wacko*

Welcome back fellow Bat-fans, or anyone else. Once again I refuse to let Brainbox have all the glory and so I've taken this time to not only totally rip-off his threads (Bat-Goody Bag anyone?) but also to make sure that you know I have. If you want to catch up and see part 1, and trust me its great, look no further than here! Anyhoo, today I have: 4 mods 1 display 1 custom character 1 creation 1 vignette and a new hairstyle Here we go: Part 1 - The Mods: First up is the hardest mod of all, Bane's Bike! X-D Okay, so all I did was remove the weapons, but that counts as a mod....................right?. Nightwing's Motorcycle, which I received (finally! :-| ) in Arkham Asylum. I liked it, but felt that the flames were a bit to close to his, er, backside, and that his batons (for lack of remembering a better term) took up to much space in their holders. I liked the elongated headlights, but felt they were too long. Here is how it was originally: And here is how I've changed it: Overall I'm pretty happy with it, but please tell me what you think honestly, as I want to know what I can improve. Another shot showing the holders: And a cool shot of Nightwing on it. Next up, Joker's Copter. Now unlike a lot of people I actually like the chopper, however like them I agreed it was too open and the cockpit was too bulgy. So I extensively modded it, which was harder than I thought it would be, due to the construction, and made it more sleek. A few overall pics: Joker fits in fine, and I've even put in better controls: As you can see HERE, I've made the spotlight rotatable so the helicopter guns can shoot straight forward without blowing it off. And also HERE, you can see the "Bang" gun, which is really intended to be a loudspeaker for announcing his crimes, but I also liked the idea of the gun being on it too, so it can be either really. Tell me honestly what you think though, I want to know any improvements or criticisms :-) Lastly, the Batwing. I loved the original Batwing, but felt it needed to be a bit sleeker and have a more closed cockpit. So here, I've blackened it up and made it sleeker, as well as modifying the cockpit, and replacing the shooter thingy. I briefly considered making it a two-seater, but decided against it, feeling happy now Brainbox? X-D As you can see, I've simply spun the sloped bricks 180 degrees round to make the cockpit sealed: I removed the shooter thingy and stuck the tail down too, as well as adding more black and making the underside sleeker: The Underbelly, The Sideview and Another Sideview Part 2 - The Display: Okay, I've just updated the Villain Cupboard now that I have Arkham and beautiful Ivy ( *wub*). As you can see, I've grouped the Arkham buildings to look more like a single unit, which worked better than I though it would. The colourful Rogue's Gallery, no doubt Bats has the best villains of any comic book character ever: Part 3 - The Custom Character: I didn't say "Fig" because this is actually Manbat I've made, using a lot of technic elements and the Viking Fenris Wolf as a basis. Though he is quite big, I don't really mind, as some interpretations have Manbat quite large, and I love the way he looks. As you can see in the below pics, he is very posable: Some cool action shots with Batman, the technic pole has replaced his tail here so I could hold him in the air: The Gallery! Part 4 - The Creation: Now, I wasn't very happy with the tiny Robin boat that came with the Batcave, so me and my cousin made a new one while he was staying at my place. This one I'm really proud of, he and i had a great time making it. It has a batarang holder on each side, and is large than the original: Better controls are in now too: The chase: The Gallery Part 5 - The Vignette This one is simple, but i like it. Its a classic brooding Batman scene, with Batman on the edge of a tall building at night, overlooking Gotham City: He broods: He broods some more: The brooding continues! Dayshots: The Gallery Part 6 - The new hairstyle As per Brainbox's request, we tried to change it into something wild and crazy. I tried my best, but in the end no Two-Face or EF hair could suffice, and so he chose to go bald instead: Hope you enjoyed this one! I have plans for a part 3 as well, so look out! Comments and criticism (the nice kind ;-) ) appreciated. Thankyou! Batbrick Away! >:-)

I think snefroe has said it best here, the spirit and atmosphere that these classic sets generate keep them from ever becoming obsolete. Surpassed in design? Yes. Surpassed in quality? Most certainly. But in spirit, originality or memory? Not in a million years. Batbrick Away! >:-)

Really? X-D Yea, I still don't get whats up with the catapult having controls though, nor what the rubber bands actual purpose is. Batbrick Something! *wacko*

Good point, though I think we may still only get one new batsuit, which will probably be, as you say, the TDK suit. Or maybe the BB suit, seeing as he uses it in the new one as well. I don't mind which one, they're both good and it'd be great to get an all-black suit. A fifth set could happen I guess, but at the moment hopes are slim. It would be a special edition, so there is a chance we haven't heard about it yet, especially considering that the bat sets are some of the last sets released. I do cling to hope, I just think an Arkham styled set introducing a range of new characters would be perfect, not just for us but for marketing. It let TLC keep the fans happy, and also gives them more characters to rerelease in sets later. Which is fine by me, by all accounts bring on a Bane set. Either way, I'll just be happy to see the other two sets, judging that we have toyfair StarWars pictures, I'd say Batman couldn't be far away. Then we finally know what this Hammer Truck is. Batbrick Something! *wacko*

Tell me about it, what made them go CGI anyway? It could have just been a prosthetics job easy done *wacko* And the Alpha Male as you say was hilarious, what with his extremely fake stretchy mouth. Anyway, I just watched Breach, about the biggest breach of security in American history by an agent who sold secrets to the KGB, and the agency hires the new guy to try and find out if this agent is a traitor. It was pretty darn good, not spectacular, but pretty darn good, and the ending was nice too. Batbrick Something! *wacko*

Atleast we get a chain in each catapult, I'll keep maybe two together just so the Dwarves can have something to fight with, and then dismantle the rest for those great brown parts and chains! *wub* Did I mention I have a love for chains? *wub* Batbrick Something! *wacko*

Watch out I might change my mind! :-P X-D I can definitely see where you are coming from though, and it is a good, positive standpoint. I am not really on the negative side either though, as I love the indy license so far. I'm just in the middle, sad to see Johnny go, happy to see Indy spring up, and confused over the benefits/letdowns of both of them. Ultimately though, none of us have the power to change it, so I'm just going to accept it and be happy that we have some more great sets. Long live Johnny, and if Indy's going to take over, then let him live long too. Batbrick Something! *wacko*

I agree, its great seeing TLC cracking some jokes :-D MUST. BE. DONE. A troll is easily purchased in the assault wagon set, so I see no problem in this wacky contest of crazy proportions. Trolls riding on skateboards ON! Batbrick Something! *wacko*

A very creative and well built entry! *y* I love it! The mix n matching of various themes is pulled off fantastically, and i love the uniqueness of it. The bath and bedroom are great touches too, a brilliant house! Batbrick Something! *wacko*

Thats much better, thankyou LuxorV :'-) I love the way you've done the teeth as well, it is easily recognisable as him, thanks again (again :-D ) Batbrick Something! *wacko*

Thankyou very much, I would really appreciate that :'-) Batbrick Something! *wacko*

Now thats something I can agree with Yoda *y* I certainly hope that IJ last a long time, since I see it as the final nail in JT's coffin, then it certainly deserves to last a long time. It obviously won't be as popular as StarWars, nut I can see this going for a few years. Like Batman, I can see this being a successful line that lasts. Batbrick Something! *wacko*

Thats okay! Thanks for coming to my thread *sweet* Batbrick Something! *wacko*

X-O , THANKYOU! :'-) Thanks very much for this LuxorV, tell me if theres anything I can do to repay you! I love the torso, and the head is very good. However, could you just get rid of the nose and make him look a bit meaner by chaging his eyebrows please? Sorry if that sounds unappreciative, its REALLY good, far better than anything I couldv'e done, so thankyou very much for this. If you don't want to change it don't worry, this is enough, thanks again :'-) Batbrick Something! *wacko*

I agree, way to ruin the bleak vibe of the book by replacing the "I am legend to the vampires, just as they were once to us", with "He's a legend because he saved us. Yippee!" :-| |-/ Still okay though, but the bad CGI on the "darkseekers" was terrible, should've gone with prosthetics. Batbrick Something! *wacko*

Um, I'm not sure how this works, I read through the thread and it seems that it is not something i have to pay for, or anything else, but please correct me if I'm wrong :-$ I was wondering if someone could have a try at making a torso and fleshie face for the Batman villain, the Mad Hatter. I would appreciate this very much please, especially this version, which would fit onto a plain blue torso: I would appreciate this very much please, and would certainly try to do something in return, like including your sigfig in one of my creations or something :-$ Thankyou *sweet* Batbrick Something! *wacko*

That looks very good LuxorV, especially the torso *y* Batbrick Something! *wacko*
