Blue Box Bricks
Something in the way...
As you can probably guess from the title, I managed to get my hands on a "The Batman" set. The Catwoman chase one to be exact. Probably the only one I'm going to get, and boy is it a good one. But we're not here to review sets, we're here to talk minifig updates...again.
From the Batinson minifig I was able to revise the designs for two characters from the unnamed universe, Red Hood and Batman. It was originally only Batman, but nice as the leg printing is, I can't put it on a minifig with a grey torso, the black legs just look wrong. So what I did was swap the legs, Red Hood got Batman's, and Batman got Red Hood's dual molded legs, which look a lot nicer.
The result is actually a lot closer to what I've had in mind for Batman since I came up with him however long ago it was. Admittedly I'd rather the suit was black, but you make do with what you've got.
As for story....maybe there's a Catwoman/Batman type relationship going on, I don't know. There's probably not, cos of the whole "Red Hood is the son of 2/3rds of the crime syndicate" thing, but that's a whole other can of worms I'm not gonna open.
And with that thought in your heads, you're free to return to your scrolling.
