WHAM! Suckerman hits the sliding door right above my head... Memories 😀

The Batman

This will always remind me of when Tower Records went out of business and I scored this for $49.

I want to find out how they mass produce items that are painted in detail. Each one would take quite a while to paint. I'm certain robots cannot paint well, so they must employ a small army of people...



In some ways the Bat Lizard & Co. look better with storage dust...

Beautiful set! Man, I really miss Tower Records. They had EVERYTHING!

Thanks for your kind words, Mord.

Here's a bonus photo of the Bat Lizard and Co. to show more face (and dust) detail in 41 mega pixel.

They probably assembly line it.  One does the undercoat, next does the airbrushing on the flesh, next does the blacks, and so on.

Yes and they could save time molding them in black.

"Dusted"?  What is this "dusting" of which you speak?

LOL! Glad I'm not the only one.

And thanks for the compliments guys. That's one of the best things about  UMA. It's really cool to be part of a community where others appreciate the fun of collecting. Pretty much every time I add something to my collection, i think "gotta post this on UMA soon, I know the fellas are gonna dig this."

Thanks again!

Awesome set The Batman! I like collecting rock n roll monster stuff too. I've posted pictures of my Kiss, Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath stuff before.
