hey guys here after four days i finally finish with my shadow tek ultra batman. the base is a shadow tek ultra "ninja warrior batman" and modified it a bit, first i remove the gunlets, then i cut and glue the spikes on to the arms, then i remove the head using the "boil-and-pop" tirck. then i repainted everything (i repainted over the bat symbol so i won't have to make a new one). the belt is made from vinyl and i use a small round piece of wod which i cut out and later glue to the belt to like the capsules, then i glue it to the body and painted it, after i finish the body, belt, and head; i made the cape, the cape is made from a batman begins chrismas stocking i bought, i cut out the cape then i measure the cape to the figure then sew and cut the "wings". then i glue the cape around the neck of the figure and put the head back on the body. i must say this is my first mayor repaint of a figure i ever did and i like very much, of course there is some paint rub but with the cape i don't notice it. i like it lot and he fits very well with robin but with batgirl she is a little small but i don't mind. in the end this is a great figure and im happy to have it in my collection. ok here is some i did of my batman: Batman side back wraped comparison action moves up close pic of repainted batarang cape wingspand with Robin: with Batgirl: the batman trio: well i hope you like this and keep checking for my other customs.

Amen, All Star. That's THE definitive TB fig. Love the huge cape, I've always wanted ta see a TB fig like that. Too bad Mattel isn't smart enough ta do this.

Yeah its ahsme but then they would have to spend more which would mean less figures overall.

thanks guys, i have to admit this was my first repaint of a figure before. when i buy a figure i had always hoped the toy company (i.e dcd, mattel) would have done this or that with their figures but they never do. i like how some customizers would repaint their figures from small paint jobs to big full body repaints, so when i get my figures i dont because i don't like to mess with it but with this one i had to repaint it because this is just a cool figure and who knows when mattel will come with a figure like this. again really like how this one came out and i hope mattel can make one just like this very soon, like this year.

How'd you get the cape on there? And what material did you use? The fabric i use is the fabric that is use for halloween costumes. i use it because it flows really nice and feels like silk, if you want to get some just find a costume shop or local stores like walmart or tru where they might still have their costumes out due to the re-stocking. for me i found mines from a batman begins chrismas stocking at a tru that looks like this: www.another batman site/toys/holiday/christmas/2006batmanstocking.jpg then i just cut the cape off and made it into a "the batman" cape, when i put it on; the head is already removed from the body, so i put on carefully then with a little superglue i rub it around the top of the neck (of course you have to lift the cape alittle ) then i carefully wrap the cape on to the neck and then i place the head back. it sounds alittle confuseing but it cape came out super cool, hope this helps.
