[MOC] - The new Batman adventures/B:TAS GCPD police car
Max_Lego replied to Max_Lego's topic in LEGO Licensed
Radically redesigned the car(s), the result is shown on the photo. The main change made was lowering the car's roof, and I think it looks better this way: -
@PunchAndJewelee, here is STAS Livewire! I had to take TLBM Joker's hairpiece from the Creeper (giving him a more accurate Ninjago Kai hairpiece, painted with a green permanent marker) and paint it blue (I failed): I am not very proud of those two minifigures - the quality of customisation is low by my standards - but I cannot do anything with that at the moment. BTW, I also tried to create a fully painted, sticker-less Batgirl minifigure, but failed dramatically - I just cannot paint Lego carefully enough with an airbrush. Thankfully, the experiment didn't completely fail with Barbara Gordon - now she doesn't have any stickers, but still looks nice, very much to my joy.

Canonically the orange containers contained Kyber crystals. Doesn't really matter - the flatbed may have been used for transporting anything. Your TX-225 looks very nice! I also have one of my own design, if you remember, but it was built with a different idea in mind. The butterfly on one of the flowers is a very nice touch!

Clone Wars is both, but back then many fans didn't like their portrayal of Mandalorians, for how it contradicted everything they knew. "Pulp"?.. It's not 'pulp' by any means, but it's not high art either. Everything in the OT made sense, if you consider them to be separate from the mainstream continuity. And that's why I love the OT. Everything realised after were contradictions, contradicting already conradictionary stuff (for example, TCW contradicts the Prequels in many ways, with the Prequels already contradicting the OT in almost everything). Fantasy worlds may be unreal, but they should follow basic (imaginary) rules. It's called continuity. Star Wars could've made sense if not the creators' attempts to manage the many contradictory stuff into one continuity (just like the DCAU! Watchtower Database's efforts are futile). It doesn't mean this universe doesn't have potential. To understand the OT, you need to forget everything you know about Star Wars, George Lucas' statements included. Why didn't the Imperials shoot the escape pod? Because droids weren't supposed to be inside, they are restrained from using it. Why did Vader invite Luke to kill the Emperor? Because he lied - he knew Luke wouldn't agree if told the truth. Why didn't Vader kill the Emperor despite of the many opportunities he had? Because he didn't want to! The Emperor didn't want Luke to kill Vader, they both had all planned - Vader wanted Luke to take his place, so that he could finally rest in peace... There are many conclusions that could be made if being sceptical towards what Canon sources claim. They make sense in the context of the OT

I am much more 'pervy' than @Sentinel_Brix, I just didn't show it yet! An NONHUMAN woman! Now that's why Voren Na'al claimed that Papa Palps didn't like nonhumans - the Empire was always opposed to bizarre interspecies relationships, and Stormtroopers never have Twi'Lek posters in their barracks... "Imperial soldier, morale matters, understood?"

If it includes TNBA Batgirl (we're in an Aslume, let the maniac dream!), I shall buy it entirely... TBH, there is little to no hope it would. But still very interesting, another proof Lego doesn't hate DC. I doubt it's going to be the comic version, since comics tend to be very inconsistent. More probably B:TAS or something...

Thanks for your application! I worked hard on this one

@Lordhelmet and @MKJoshA, thank you guys! Of course you may! This is for exchanging experience, isn't it? I understand. The new torsos and legs are more accurate
-
Nah, just kidding... Welcome to the club, @AgentBrix! But beware of our Dark Side...

I think it's time to show my upgraded Revel Scum minifigures! Here are my Tatooine Luke and Ben Kenobi: The dark tan hairpiece and 2007 printed legs benefit the Luke minifigure from 75271 set greatly in my opinion. Printed Jedi legs are also useful for Ben from 75270. Ideally, Ben would've looked nice with a paper coat, but his 2014 minifigure (with erased hood on the back of his torso, if he is wearing it at the moment) still looks much better than with the absolutely inaccurate cape. Award ceremony Leia looks good with a paper cape and flesh-colored arms. To reflect Carrie Fisher's small height, I used a 4-plate high brick-built skirt. I absolutely love the 2018 dual-molded Rebel pilot helmet - it works much better for Luke than the usual one. Other Rebel pilots (like Wedge Antilles pictured), however, probably look better with the traditional helmet. Also here are two brick-built custom weapons - the Z-6 rotary blaster and Chewbacca's bowcaster: The bowcaster looks almost perfect IMHO, except for the lack of butt...

FINALLY I managed to equip the Batmobile with screen-accurate 5-spoke wheel discs! Enjoy!

@legoturtle is out of control after watching TDKR - the weirdest movie in Nolan's trilogy, IMHO. The only Nolan movie I liked was TDK, and the reason is Ledger's Joker. The other two seem utterly weird to me. As they said: "Christian Bale is the best Bruce Wayne, but not the best Batman", but watching a perfect, comic-accurate Bruce Wayne isn't entertaining at all. TDK had Joker, who entertained me in a way Nicholson's version couldn't. It also had the absolute best (not because he is 'the only', but because how important and awesome he is) Lucius Fox played by Morgan Freeman, but he doesn't 'steal the show', as he didn't in the other two movies. Ledger's charisma helped TDK to stand out. The entire plot of Gotham being taken over by a short Bane on platform shoes and Batman faking his death to let a cop named Robin (?!) take his place is something I can't take seriously. Sorry...
