Got to say it's an extremely impressive Batman collection! Think I'm going to sort all of mine out this weekend and re-shuffle after some sales so I'll try and take a group pic of every minifig.

Yeah... That's the fellas. I'm still torn over whether to order the blue or black Miller Batman. Quote

Got to be both right? although isn't there 3? Black suit, blue suit and one with a yellow bat symbol? I quite like the original one - blue with large black symbol on the chest (no yellow) Quote

It seems pointless to me. I'm actually thinking about printing up 50 of the Sonar Suit Batman from the Lego Batman game. Quote
Mat099 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) I've read this name "Christo" a couple of time now... What does he (or they) do exactly? Edited February 17, 2017 by Mat099 Quote

He produces custom minifigs, and some pretty amazing ones at that. Robs Zebra Batman in his display pic for example. Quote
julesvincent Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Here is my Batsuit gallery. All genuine but the Zur-en-Ahhr, the torso part of the 2011 Comic Con and replaced the cowl of the Kiss Kiss suit with a regular cowl after removing the keychain. I really hope the Tiger suit comes available soon. :) Quote

I don't have a photo of the Batsman figure from Christo but it's basically this character: The Frank Miller Batman is from Cyclops bricks: and is available to pre-order here:http://www.cyclopsbricks.com/product-page/the-grumpy-crusader-pre-order The Bale Batman is from Phoenix Customs and is no longer available to pre-order but will be available at Phoenix Custom bricks website when it's printed. Here's the figure: Edited February 19, 2017 by Robianco Quote
Captain Britain Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) I didn't line them all up.. but.. Cap was my first superhero minifig, so I stuck him at the front as he started all this madness off! Ended up sorting through everything and dropping out all the customs, so these frames are purely official releases now. I'll probably get a separate case or something for those.

Wow! That's one glorious pile of minifigs you have there Must've taken a lot of work to sort out. Quote
SpiderJazz Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I have no problem with customs, but it's really beautiful and lovely to see all legit mini figure line up Quote
mediumsnowman Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Looks great Captain Britain! Are they still by BL number order with those missing spaces waiting for more LBM figures? And I'm quite not sure I'd use a spot on that Arkham statue... Quote

Mentally draining! Checking the references and then trying to find the figure (I did try and sort them by piles of Supes, Bats, Caps, Iron Mans etc after that first pic lol). 9 hours ago, SpiderJazz said: I have no problem with customs, but it's really beautiful and lovely to see all legit mini figure line up Me neither, I do love customs. Some of them are fantastic. It's hard to keep up though. 2 hours ago, mediumsnowman said: Looks great Captain Britain!

BL number order indeed (apart from the last frame with the 20 CMF's from TLBM). Yeah the spaces are for figs I still need to pick up. See I thought that but he's actually got his own BL reference number annoyingly! Sh352 - Arkham Asylum Statue. And to think I almost sold the set without the figs and would have lost him! The other annoying thing is the armoured Batman from BvS... I've got the one with the cape, but they re-released the set without the cape as I think it had some issues, thus it being another variant, meaning I need to pick the bugger up! Quote
SpiderJazz Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) You gotta nice collection btw, Wonder where can I get that kind of frame here in my country. The one they sell in Lego shop is just a lame cardboard, phew. Edited February 20, 2017 by SpiderJazz Quote

They look like Ribba box frames to me from IKEA. Good price and wide range of sizes. Quote

Yep they are IKEA Ribba frames 50cm x 50cm with just the normal 10701 48 stud x 48 stud baseplate stuck inside, then I've used 2x2 inverted slopes as the bricks. Quote
Robianco Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I've got to try and plan setting up a solid stud background to my 50x50 so I can fit in more than the 72 figures in. I'll probably go with the largest plates I can that aren't the softer rounded corner baseplates and glue them in to create a complete stud background. I've also got an idea for creating the mounts that the figures can stand on. I think with the recent TLBM wave and the customs I'll be at over 60 bat variants so I need room to be able to keep adding. Quote

josykay Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Impressive collection @Captain Britain. May I ask, if you just have the figs, or the sets as well?^^ Are there any you don't collect? Like Mighty Mikro? Or the new Mini-Doll stuff? Quote

Yeah... the moulded cowl for the Phoenix Custom figure does look fantastic. The Cyclops bricks cowl is 3-D printed rather than injection moulded though. He seems to have three levels of printing available and Hyper-HD is something that gives injection moulded quality results. Those pieces are then dyed or sprayed the right colour. I hope for his sake he gets it right or he'll have quite a lot of people complaining to him. Quote

It has crossed my mind too as I like all the ones figs edge to edge. Annoyingly all of the pictures in my house seem to have a boarder around them so they match quite nicely now haha. 31 minutes ago, josykay said: Impressive collection @Captain Britain.

I have all the TLBM stuff in a box but I generally sold everything else as I went along. I don't collect the mini-dolls (I can't stand them haha thank god though, it would cost me even more money) but I do collect the Mighty Micros stuff. I've got a few Star Wars figs but I've been thinking of letting those go. Other than that I've only got the Disney CMF series, the German Football team series, some star wars figs, and the Ghostbusters and BTTF sets from the Ideas sets. Quote
