Custom '66 Batman Bat-Shield - Second Run Canceled - Deposits Refunded

Re: Custom '66 Batman Bat-Shield - Now Accepting Deposits

All deposit paid shields are in production:

Wow! Worst. Production. Day. Ever.

My intent was to finish the two I got started and man what could go wrong did go wrong. Gen. ZodLives' sheild was about 80-85% complete. Then the dang thing fell off the table and broke the end right off. What a disappointment.

I started him another one along with all the guys who paid their deposits.

This was a hard day for this project but I have the procedure down and cardboard down around my stool!

Still waiting for supplies but I have enough here to keep on truckin'!

Very cool! Are you guys thinking about offering any other '66 accessories?

 

[DCFett]

Re: Custom '66 Batman Bat-Shield - Now Accepting Deposits

We have one or two in mind! ��

Did you have anything in mind Earthdog?

A few actually, glad you asked!!

A red bat phone with a blinking LED inside, computer terminals with blinking LEDs panels from the batcave, batpoles with the cushions at the bottom... An atomic pile! 😊

My long term display goal is to build out a batcave for the duo and the batmobile.

A shield would look great in there but it's not one of the primary set pieces so that's my hesitation in getting it. That money would go a long way towards dressing up the cave.

I'm going to put some stuff on eBay this weekend and if it all goes I'm in for a shield.

What can I say, you guys are artists. Great video of one of the coolest custom accessories I've seen. Really looking forward to getting this and seeing what else you've got coming. :rock

Thanks Man! I'm not sure if we have anything planned as grand as earth dog wants, but we will certainly do some research to see if we can. I think our plans are bit less ambitious and more "strike while the iron is hot", so smaller scale. Doesn't mean we cant do custom pieces though. A Bat phone though...that could work:wink1:

Re: Custom '66 Batman Bat-Shield - Now Accepting Deposits

So you're saying a batboat is out of the question too? 😊

I kind of remember Robin shooting a rocket launcher in one episode but haven't found a pic of it. It's not as iconic as the shields.

Re: Custom '66 Batman Bat-Shield - Now Accepting Deposits

One more idea... How about cut plexi signs with onomatopoeias on them like the one hanging in this pic...

Scaled down to fit it in a Detolf behind the figures and hang it from the shelf above with suction cups or stick it to the back wall with suction cups or build a stand onto the bottom.

Re: Custom '66 Batman Bat-Shield - Now Accepting Deposits

Great ideal but someone beat us to the punch on that one:

I suppose we could make them 1/6th scale.

Re: Custom '66 Batman Bat-Shield - Now Accepting Deposits

Holy crap I forgot about that launcher! I can't wait to get this series when it comes out at the end of the year--I'm sure there's a ton of stuff I've forgotten was on the show.

That's the one!

Re: Custom '66 Batman Bat-Shield - Now Accepting Deposits

Yeah we are researching now. If the shield sells well, we'll be prototyping this next. Might only get few customs as this piece would probably a lot of mixed media for us. There's a new MEGO type accessory pack from Figures Direct or something that has this piece included. Be good to get that for reference for rear of the canon.
