Alright, guys, my custom Batman Returns glider prototype is finished and I am ready to offer them for sale! The glider is composed of an all metal frame with a black lycra spandex cloth material stretched over the frame. There is a hinging mechanism in the back that allows the glider to be propped into a more flying postion versus the default "Batman symbol silhouette" that is so iconic from the movie (my preferred display method, personally).
The glider is 31 inches across and does not fold up. Though large this is true to scale from the film. The glider attaches via a simple hanging mechanism that is attached to the neck post and then hidden under the cowl once the head is reattached to the body. It is light enough for Batman to easily stand, on his own, with the glider attached (as you see in the photos).
I must construct each glider by hand, cutting and prepping the metal supports, epoxying them together, and hand cutting and attaching the fabric to the frame. I mention this only because it means these will take some time to complete once I have the orders.
The cost will be $125 plus shipping. Unfortunately I have no idea of shipping cost at the moment but I'm hoping I can keep it around $15 to the US. Once I have more information I will update with it here. I'm definitely looking into international shipping but obviously the cost is unavoidably higher.
If you have any questions whatsoever post them in the thread or shoot me a PM. I have posted several pictures of the finished glider in this post but feel free to request specific pictures if you want to see anything specific. I have also linked my previous project at the bottom of this post in case you want to check out what I have done in the past.
I have the previous interested list, which I will leave there, but I am starting a new, occifical list. Please only respond if you are interested and intend on purchasing a glider. I will then ask for either a deposit or full payment to secure orders to be produced. Thanks, everyone!
