How is storms face (mainly the other side), need some black female faces for a mic I'm doing and don't really fancy paying a lot for them on bricklink

[Robianco]

I'll be interested to see those in person. I'll post a comparison on the Catwoman with the original Christo version as well as a three way comparison with the SY and official Lego Batman Begins figures.

The SY ZEA still looks better but hopefully I get at least one good double sided head for it. The Bat logo does look slightly more accurate on this one as it's not symmetrical but the print looks a little heavy on it. I'll have to see if they get the back print right with the batradia on the belt.

The other side of Storm's head is a slight smile so should be fine for your MOC.

I think i will paint the hair of catwoman to dark brown/black so that it looks more faithful to the movie's Anne hathaway

Just a quick question / statement on the relative "compatibility" of some of these bootlegs...

The black hand on my Decool Winter Soldier was a bit loose, so I decided to replace it. I grabbed a spare black hand I had lying around... pretty sure it's one of the numerous spares that SY send. I tried shoving it in the arm socket, and it caused the arm to split down the mould join. Mental note... Decool arms and SY hands are definitely not compatible.

Anyone have any other warnings?

I had a batgirl head that wont come out of its cowl. SY I think

Just buy 2 sets, sure one of the 2 will have a missprint with the logo like the lego version one.

Decool, 1 on 2 = missprint.

Just a question, I think everyone know that the print come easily off (especially on the SY figures), just like

scratch a bit with your fingernail.

So what kind of varnish did you use to protect the print of yours bootleg ?

I use generally Tamiya X22 or 21. But maybe they are better varnish especially for print?

Did you also replace the left hand with silver arm? I'm wondering what the best replacement is.

Adam West's 1960's Batman series released on DVD and BluRay. Think LEGO will do anything to celebrate?

That's the one figure I'd love them to do... We've had pretty much every incarnation of Bats ever done except that one and it's a pop culture icon. The fact that Lego printed onto the cowl for Electro Bats gives me hope they'll print on one to go with that although the detailing is smaller.

Fingers crossed!

[Sabbath]

Thinking if they don't I might beg Sebiron here to make me a couple of his customs ;)

[Robianco]

^Yep... pretty much that! Sebiron has done really well on those.

Now we just need Lego to do it officially!

I've already got both official Lego Magneto figures plus a Days of Future Past custom (original Lego pieces used) but thanks anyway.

I think the Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds section might actually be the best place for your post though. ;)

today i bought doll brand luke cage and dark phoenix

their printing quality is good, but plastic material not good

i think i have to change DP head, hair and hands to decool's Phoenix

Luke Cage head and black legs will only cost around £1 from Bricklink. That torso actually doesn't look too bad.

A new head and hair on DP and she ow;don't look too bad... shame about the slightly iff leg print. I'd almost be tempted to mask that area off and paint the yellow on.

Bought the SY Fantastic 4 set yesterday for £10, and now I sit alone playing the waiting game
