While at TRU today I saw two Deluxe Shadow Tek Batman figures for $10 each. I ended up buying them. Besides the fact that there isn't a basic colored Batman (at least not that I saw) they actually aren't that bad. They have 19 POA (ball jointed neck & shoulders, elbows, wrists, mid-torso hinge, waist cut, t-chotch & hinged hips, knees, cuts at the top of the boots and ankles.) Also the Shadow Tek Robin fits in much nicer with thes figures. I picked up Scuba Assault Batman and Ninja something Batman. I ended up painting the Ninja Batman red parts black and cut off the extra sash from the utility belt. PJ

Ohhh... Thanks for the pics. You're right about Robin looking more to scale with that. Lets hope that they make a basic figure like that because I WILL FOR SURE pick it up if they make one.

Yes I have to figure out the best way to go for a cape. I guess I'll just get a piece of black fabric. PJ

You're gonna need a cape too! yeah i know, i got to find a way to make the cape flow over his shoulders like in the cartoon. i just need to find the right black fabric for it.

Here's my finished Ninja Warrior Batman Fixup - Scale pic of Deluxe & Basic Shadow Tek figures - PJ looks very good, is he painted all black or is it the lighting? and are the ganlets removable or glued on?

I'd say he was a charcol gray...because I only painted the gauntlets, boots & neck black and they are darker then the plastic used on the figure. I didn't try to remove them but I think they gauntlets are glued on. This is what the Ninja Warrior Batman looked like before I fixed it up - PJ

How'd you get the cape on? And is there any chance you can put a picture of batgirl in it with robin and batman to see how they all look together?

I'll try and get a pic with Batgirl & Robin as soon as we get that area of the room cleaned out. (It's filled with Christmas gifts right now) But anyway I saw the other 2 Deluxe Batman Shadow Tek figures along with the Robin on motorcycle today...And the 2 Batman figures were even bigger than the two Deluxe figures I bought last weekend. The 2 (Scuba Attack & Ninja Warrior Batman)last week were 7" tall the 2 today were about 9" tall and were packed in boxes instead of the cards like the others. So I passed on them for now.

PJ, are the turquoise lines on the Scuba Assault Batman engraved into the figure or are they just simply painted or applied? Thanks.

I finally found a deluxe batman figure who knew with a little patience you'll find what your looking for . i got the ninja warrior batman and i gotta to say this is the best figure mattel has ever made! the size is perfect for robin and batgirl and i love the articulation almost like marvel legends just less and i can pose him in any postion and he does'nt fall. i got him on sat and yesterday i began to do my mods i mention earler and im almost done, i remove the arm bands and i repainted him in the black/grey colors, all i need now is to make a new belt and the big large cape like in the show and put it on him, then i finally got myself a cool basic colored batman that is poseable. ill see if i can post some pics later today or tommarow of what i have.

hey guys here is a sneak preview of my modified ultra batman figure: here is batman with robin and batgirl you can see more in a few days once i finish the cape and post more pics in the custom thread. Very nice so far...although I'd paint the neck black as well. How's the paint hold up at the joints? I was going to paint mine grey, but thought the paint would rub off and chip at the articulation points. PJ

thanks pj, the paint does rub off since the joints are very tight to move. which is good but, if someone wants to do a repaint; it will rub at the shoulders, legs, elbows, and knees and they'll end up repainting it over and over which sucks. thats why i hope this year mattel can make their own black/grey batman where the paint won't chip. as for the neck, once the cape is done i will be gluing the cape to the neck so you won't notice it too much.

I haven't found any of them anywhere :-( Robin has been fairly easy to find around here. As for the 3-Pack, once Target put them on clearance they flew off the shelves around here. PJ
