So I've nearly got that "Grayson" Robin suit done for next D-Con (did I ever mention that to you guys?). Just waiting on the vest and cape from a local seamstress.

In the meantime I've been going Bat-crazy buying up figures and memorabillia- got a lot of goodies on the way via ebay (I'll post pics along with the suit when they arrive).

So searching you tube I found some interesting Bat-Vids. Here are some of my favourites:

Hall of Justice weekly meeting

Adam West tribute

Alyas: Batman en Robin (the Filipino Batman and Robin)

Greatest Batman Tribute (nobody can touch these guys!)

Bat-Fans enjoy!

"I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won."

The first two were great. The last two were........................ lame
My two cents.
Thanks for sharing Kev.
Looking forward to see you as "The Bat". Maybe Rex will have some competition.

Thanks Mike- but I'm going to be doing a Robin costume, not Batman. Rex will have a crimefighting partner!

BTW- this is the pic the updated Robin is based on:

Duuuhhhhh...I should have read your post better. Great! I'm sure you will look great as Robin. You & Rex as the crime fighting duo!

Dang Kev! Looks cool. And between that and Logan looks like Dcon 07 will be the year of the Canuck Crimefighter:D

Kev, your Robin outfit is going to rock!! It's going to be fun, bro, really fun!

Hopefully soon, I'll be able to share some pics of my "armored" Batsuit in progress... Flexible armor...

While waiting for my Robin vest, cape and undies to be finished- I scored a Batman Forever Sonic Batarang off ebay last week-

Mirror polished chrome! I could shave with it (the mirror part- it's not sharpened ).

Folds in half as it should:

Pretty decent size to it (and it is heavy)!

[img]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/ssgtburton/Props/HPIM0080.jpg[/img]

It came all the way from Hong Kong- had some tense moments though...

I was tracking it online all week- It arrived in Canada after only three days and was being held in customs. Usually items are released from customs after a few hours. Well when TWO DAYS went by with no update- I thought customs had seized it!

We have some pretty retarded laws when it comes to "prohibited items"- I figured some over zealous customs officer had held it as a "dangerous martial arts weapon" (I had an airsoft rifle seized last year- my mind goes a hundred miles an hour over stuff like this ).

Fortunately it did arrive safely. It was described as "toys" by the customs official.

So adds another item to my Bat-Arsenal!

Duuuude. That's really cool, congrats!

I'm sooooo jealous!! That's one of Henry's beauties!!! Congratulations bro!!!:D

Batman has the coolest toys! Have you seen the Batman sword? It rocks!

~Mel

Ok, who let HER over here?

Welcome to the nut house Mel.

She's been here before, showing off her excellent Predator stuff.

Speaking of which, did you ever finish the Alien Queen shield?

Russ

(Wook and Rook) Thanks for the thread hijack ya hijackers.

However I'm interested in knowing if you finished the shield as well Mel!

And I have seen the Batman sword (on ebay I think). A cool sword indeed!

Yes I finished the shield- the suit is about 90% done.

This isn't a hijack. Trust I can show you a hijack. Just give me a bit.

This, this is a hijack.

Judges...

Can we get a ruling here?

HelloooOOOoooooo?

Maybe you prefer one of those "Still on topic so the mods might not delete it" hijacks. You know like:


Cool Batman prop, can't wait to see it at Dragoncon. If everything goes well on my side I'll be sporting this prop at some point

You know...

At least Mel had the common decency to start her own thread.

So, to stop the train wreck, do you have any work in progress shots of your Grayson costume?

(ps: Sorry for the hijack.)
(pps: Nifty silver "toy" too. )

Russ

Thanks Russ,

I took a test shot of myself awhile back with some stand-ins for the vest and cape...


[img]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/ssgtburton/Costumes/IM002852a.jpg[/img]

The cape is from my Greatest American Hero box set.

Still waiting on the real vest and cape from the seamstress; it should be ready by the end of February.

Sorry about yesterday, it was one of those days at work.

Looks good so far. You know, that cape and red shirt with a yellow vest might make an interesting custom Robin.

Forget about it Wookie.

Truth be told I was having one of those days as well yesterday.

You make an interesting suggestion Wook- has an Earth 2 Robin flavour to it. However the cape only looks good from the angle you're seeing...


[img]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y282/ssgtburton/Costumes/HPIM0099.jpg[/img]

Unfortunately this is what the back looks like. And it is just as wide (or rather thin) as it appears as well.

Bro, AGAIN I say you are going to have SUCH a fun time in that Robin outfit!!

Well done bro, well done indeed!
