Lolicon Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Well, I just leaped into that rabbit hole. LED add-on kit on the way!

I wish i had the batwing from that movie too. I love the animated series batmobile and batwing too, but i don't think they were ever released in 1:18 scale. I was thinking maybe an ecto-1 and Delorean in 1:18 could "finish" my movie car collection. Great collection you got there! I think thats basically every batmobile ever, and at 1:50 scale they could easily be posed along 1:48 Yammies. Edited August 1, 2019 by vlenhoff
Mommar Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 A very strange Mezco one-off One:12 figure of their Mascot Gomez.
Slave IV Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Looks pretty good @Mommar, I don’t get it, but can imagine it’s a good figure. Haha.

I own the thing and I don't really get it either. I bought it based on the strength of the review D Amazing gave it. If it weren't for the Sketchers shoes it would make a Decent Black Skull Batman villain though. But I sure can't wait for my next two Nightcrawler figures to show up tomorrow.

Slave IV Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Haha, nice! A bit too much for me to pay for a character I don't get or have any interest/desire for. I guess it does make a good collector's piece though.
jeniusornome Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 @Lolicon I hear the Exia is a great kit. Been thinking about doing a Strike myself, heard it's a good choice to get into PGs since it's got an "easy" build. I'm really tempted by the trans-am mode PG Raiser kit, love the colors on it, love the idea of a 1/60 trans-am Raiser next to a 1/60 VF-31C, but all the reviews I read said the Raiser is a pain to assemble and pose, it doesn't have the same 'play with me' factor that the Exia and Strike have.
Sanity is Optional Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 If you're looking for a PG Trans-Am Raiser, keep an eye out for NY sales. Got mine from them for ¥22,550 shipped.

Go for it anyway, I say! I got the Exia because the LED kit really looked great to me. Otherwise I'd have been content with my MB Exia. It'll be awhile before I build it, but if I like it enough, I may pick up the Unicorn with LEDs.

jeniusornome Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 @Sanity is Optional are the joint locks as much of a pain as some reviewers made them out to be? @Lolicon I just might. It's a really dynamic design and I think it would look great alongside the 31C. I'm considering multiple PG kits (and other sizes) to do same-scale Valk/Gundam pairings on my shelves. Normally I'd just buy when I'm ready to build, but since this was a limited one, it might be worth it to buy now and set it aside for later when I actually have time. Here's two other fairly recent acquisitions. I'm sort of split on how I feel about the actual figure, but I decided if I liked it enough to keep it, one of these two versions would be the one I wanted. So I bought both. Managed to get them new from Mandarake for close to MSRP. The YF-25's joints were a little looser out of the box than the 25A, but not so much that it really affects anything. These also had a tricky transformation for me. With both the 25 and 31 I found myself having trouble with the shoulder/collar area folding for battroid mode. Once I got it all sorted out it was much more solid than I'd expected, given how it all folds up and is only held in place by a few clips (or pressure, in the case of the 25).

You know what, you might have this incredible collection, but i see no 1989 Keaton's Batmobile here. I win. With that said, Bond's Lotus next to Ecto-1 and the Dleorean is mouth watering. Do all doors open on the ecto-1? You've got the Duke's GeneralLee, the Ateam's van, what i think is Bluesbrother's copcar, and Kitt. Very cool collection! Bladerunner's policecar thing is super nice, i had no idea it existed in this scale. I am begining to think these are 1:24, hmm maybe not. MadMAx's interceptor too, wow. Hilariously looking Velociraptor riding the Jussaric park jeep, lol. Is that a Fezza 306 gtb? 308 gtb? I love the 306 GTb if thats what it is. oh wow, i just noticed the Fezza GTO there too. One of the most expensive classic cars today. Let me guess, is this 30 plus years in the making? I still maintain my perfect car movie collection would include THe ecto-1 and the Delorean next to my Batmobile, but oh man oh man that Lotus Espirit in submarine mode is epic! Ha bond's Aston DB5 would be cool too! Edited August 1, 2019 by vlenhoff LOL, I just noticed the Dalek, ha ha, great!
tekering Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 You know your Ferraris, I see! Note also the Lykan HyperSport from Furious 7, the Shelby Cobra 427 from Bad Boys, the '32 Ford Deuce Coupe from American Graffiti, the Chevrolet Camaro SS and Mercedes Benz SLS AMG from Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and "Herbie," the '63 Volkswagen Beetle from The Love Bug. 1 hour ago, vlenhoff said: Do all doors open on the ecto-1?

vlenhoff Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) @tekering You are Bat-Sick crazy! That 1989 batmobile looks almost identical to the one i own. Not sure if the wheels on mine are more like a gunmetal rather than bronze/goldish in your picture. I Imagine these are all 1:18? Hotwheels Elite? Is Jada any good?. Sunstar? Welly? I've always trouble identifying scale, when there is not a typically scaled object next to it. You got figures in scale too, wow! Edited August 1, 2019 by vlenhoff

It displays ok with the DC Multiverse 4” Keaton Batman. The figure also goes well with the Kenner Batwing and that toy is still fun to swoosh around. My favorite 1/18 vehicles are my KITT with 1/18 Michael Knight and KARR. I love 1/18 vehicles and the 1/18 figures you can put with them. Got this iconic cars shirt recently. There were only a few that I couldn’t identify off the top of my head. Edited August 1, 2019 by sh9000
vlenhoff Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Badass Tshirt, I want one. You guys are a fountain of information. i found that kenner batwing on ebay , but, does yours have like a escape pod or something? I wonder if it is the same one. In any case, i am still in conservation mode, so i am not buying anything in the near future. Awesome info though, thanks!
Slave IV Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 The one true and worthy king of the Dinobots has arrived! Abosolutely fantastic figure. Glad to finally have it in hand. Footnote: also got my DX VF-1 missiles but that is old news for most here, lol.

Hot Wheels Nissan Skyline HT 2000GT-X Sakura Sprinter. Ha, I've done the same in the past. take parts off which look terrible or paint them or customize them. I will stay idle in on my pursuit for a batwing for now. Priorities are a thing currently, so i'll just browse around. I love that little racing Skyline and transporting truck, so classic! I like the little diorama at the back. [printed on the card] I have been thinking of building very small 1/100 diorama, with only a few references and buildings, but it is all plans so far.

seti88 Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 Thanks for the link, I guess its sold out cos its a popular F-4 in Japan.... Seems that a future release list isnt as easy to find, so its back to refreshing AJ and CDJ, on a bi-weekly...if i remember..

Not sure why this one took so long and was nearly sold out by the time people knew what it was.
