Lives up to the hype and definitely a great figure. I still put Deluxe Snake Eyes above it but it's tough to beat Snake Eyes. My only criticism is the dumb pegs in the guns that also don't fit well in the holes in the back like Snake Eyes' backpack but at least I can hide them by using them as side grips. Also kinda wish the chest insignia was a removable part and it came in white and red so I can make a more proper officer. I need more of these but it seems pretty hopeless. Ahhh! Congrats!

All I can say is it was a bitch to get and the time I spent trying to order it is worth WAY more than buying it on eBay. I refused to give in though, lol! Baroness has been impossible for me still though.

I like how the raisers elevate the chunkey-mokeys at the back. Great display. Can anyone tell me about that animated batmobile, with lights? Tekerin posted it among the other batmobiles. I can't find iton Ebay.

Is this the massively huge one that fits the Animated figures inside? I was referring to the one @tekering posted, which looks way smaller than the one you posted. Or is this the one @tekering posted?
sh9000 Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) The one that you’re asking about is the DC Collectibles Batman TAS Batmobile and it is 1/12 scale with lights and can fit figures inside. Edited August 21, 2020 by sh9000
vlenhoff Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 OMG I took a closer look, and noticed, that those are indeed huge. I htought they were all on a table, but now i realized there are sitting on the floor. I never knew they made a huge 1/12 1989 batmobile, OMG. I should have gotten the animated one when it was onsale at BBTS I thought it was too big for my displays... Thanks for info guys, my eyes tricked me, wow.

Actually I thought they were those Jada[?] ones which come with figures than wont fit inside. I just wanted a companion for my 1/18 scale 1989 hotwheels version. It appears there is no 1/18 scale TAS version. Bummer. Honestly this thing is way too massive for me, I think. [not what she said]

The Hot Wheels version is closer to 1:22nd, actually. You can never trust the stated scales with Hot Wheels...

Still a very good attempt though. The 2 in the back are 1/6 scale, the 3 in the middle are 1/12 scale, and the one in the front is 1/18 scale. There’s a larger selection of Batmobiles in 1/24 scale that come with figurines. There’s also a larger selection of Batmobiles and Bat vehicles in 1/50 scale. I really hope someday a diecast 1/18 scale BTAS Batmobile gets made. 6 hours ago, vlenhoff said: OMG I took a closer look, and noticed, that those are indeed huge.

[not what she said] That 1989 Batmobile that was shown is 1/6 scale. That Batman TAS Batmobile that was shown is 1/12 scale. A 1/18 Batman TAS Batmobile has never been made. I would want one too. If you want all of your Batmobiles in scale to each other, then there are not many to choose from in 1/18 scale. There are a lot more in 1/24 scale, 1/50 scale, and 1/64 scale.

vlenhoff Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Yeap @sh9000, I just gave up on the batmobile idea altogether. I'll keep my 1/18 or 1/22 whatever it is, Keaton's Batmobile until they make a similarly sized TAS Batmobile. I am not in the position to make unnecessary non Macross, or non Star Wars related purchase. I have pretty much given up on Takara and the transformers. I may just need to find a select few 3rd party characters, that are fun to transform, look the part, and call it a day. They way things are going i might have to get rid of my chug transformers too. I gave up on Neon Genesis, and other minor collections I had. I'm just keeping Bandai's Akira bike, and my Swordfish II, outside of Macross, Transformers and Star Wars. On another note, that Jimbao oversized KO devastator looks pretty boss, and it is not horribly expensive. I wonder if any of you got it, and could tell me if it is worth getting. I have the MPP10 Weijiang Prime, and he is fabulous to say the least. Yes @tekering, I agree with the concept of having your figures inside your vehicles, but I've always liked the image of batman standing next to his horse. Just like you did with your picture, and good job in adding the logos BTW. I do like my star wars figures to fit in their vehicles, even if the vehicles are not properly sized, unfortunately. I am just trying to enjoy what i got, and I am trying to display my collection. I am trying to cut down in too many parts of my collection sitting in boxes, doing nothing. I wish Takara would have kept up with the main characters we are missing, but it takes forever to get anything to fill my G1 collection, and the prices just keep skyrocketing. It is like they lost their way or maybe the cost of making these bots is just too much these days? Anyway, that's my humble opinion, maybe i am wrong. Edit in: i think this covid19 situation has impacted some of my decisions. Before All this started, I had no Interest in selling part of my collection. I usually display things, then put them back in the box, and display others, then repeat. My job has slowed down quite a bit as a result, and i am sort of annoyed. Pardon me if I appear negative in any way. I really don't mean to be. Edited August 21, 2020 by vlenhoff

My first superhero (please don't let this get out of control, please don't let this get out of control, please don't let this get out of control). Annnnnd another horrific Focker knock off for the Focker army. This one is epic junk!

vladykins Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 The Bandai 1/55 super was 11000 yen for a b grade box, but I can't figure out why it was graded downwards. Toy is perfect and still has tight joints.
borgified Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 11k yen for a Chunky Monkey 1s Roy (albeit its Hikaru piloting it) with Supers is a steal. Is the box slightly or heavily damaged (rips, tears, creased, worn out spots)@vladykins?
vladykins Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Absolutely nothing that I have found. no tears, no stains, nothing. I thought a fraked up box would still be worth the price, but nothing is missing and everything is like new as far as I can tell for now.
borgified Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 That's the joy of shopping around and funding better deals along the way (not including condition wise also).

sh9000 Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 NECA Ultimate Predator 2 City Hunter. Marvel Legends TRU Spider-Man. Now my Retro Spider-Man has wall crawling hands and a Peter Parker head. I’m using the effect parts from the Marvel Legends Iron Man 2020 for my 80th Iron Man and I’ll paint the Iron Man 2020 repulsor hands black for my War Machine.
Sanity is Optional Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 Picked up a few things, one of which showed up by surprise. Totally Not MacrossTM F-14 from "Black Aces" The weathering and detail on this look amazing, frankly. Spoiler A Yamato VF-17S, courtesy of @blackconvoy_D01, which puts me 1 step closer to being able to put up a 1/60 "History of VF" display. Still short a VF-4, and need to put together the 1/60 Ghost from @valhary. Finally the one that showed up in my post box with no warning: A RG Gundam Nu. With chrome plating, from ShowZ Store. Since I couldn't find an official plated one. On the bright side, they also chrome the inner frame as well. I'm sure there will be fit issues. Spoiler

The Suzuki is actually a model I've had for a while.. it's Troy Corser 2006 bike as he won the championship in 2005. It is a very lovely model. It's the only one I kept after selling off the rest of the bikes I had. I also had a K6 road bike so there is a sentimental attachment to it. The Jag is the new model.. also a very lovely thing!

And I raced a LOT of different bikes. No pics handy of the 05/06's. This 2003 will do.
