[shadow=red,left,300]Wow, already up to over $50. Great looking figure, one that many collectors will be clamoring for, as evidenced by how many bids it has already got.[/shadow]

Yeah i'm not surprised at all Bullock.I was talking with Iron Cow last night on Email and he said he needed to raise some funds for some other projects he's working on.Plus he said he can just build them again,that man is so talented.

Batmans up to $76.00 with 19 bids and over 6 days still to go.Supes is up to $27.00 with 8 bids. I hope your pockets are deep Peev if you're going to bid.The final prices on these figs is going to be huge.I have never seen a bidding war start so quickly on an item before on Ebay.Congratulations "Iron Cow"your work is certainly appreciated.

I am going to have to keep my eye on the Batman auction. I would love to have that figure in my collection.

Ok, I am officially taking my eye off that auction. It is a damn fine custom but it's not worth that much.

I hope your pockets are deep Peev if you're going to bid. My pockets are like the shallow end of the kiddie pool right now, new baby coming, new house coming, etc.... Still thinking about it ;D

Very cool. Lucky he's selling DC Characters. Marvel likes doing cease and desists, even on free customs like Freedom Force Skins.
The Superman is a nice repaint and slight retool of the cape, but the Batman is going sky high as it looks like he resculpted a lot of it and they're's nothing else like it. Is that a KC Green Lantern head or a frshly sculpted head?

It's Green Lantern's head and the cape he has on Superman is from an X-Men Evolution Magneto which was later reused on ML Magneto. For anyone interested in the full "recipes", you can find them here: www.figurerealm.com/Customs.php

I would love to attempt these customs and add them to my collection! But... I don't know what base figures Batman is made out of. Superman is a KC repaint but the Batman is different. You can tell because the torso, legs, and boots are all totally different. Does anyone know what base was used on Batman?

PJ Thanks PJ,that's amazing for just 2 figures.Matt is some kind of genius that's for sure.He's selling off a lot of custom fodder pieces now i see,they won't be reaching the same prices that's for sure.
