The Catmobile
Catman is perhaps my favorite non-major A-List Superhero character. I know, I love Killer Moth too, but I've been reading up on Catman (mainly via Villains United) anticipating the release of the Catman minifigure, and in the process I've just fallen for him! Such an interesting comic history too--no longer the joke, Catman should be taken seriously...that is unless you want to be all clawed up. Plus the minifigure is spectacularly accurate...although the Batman cowl is somewhat annoying. It drives me crazy whenever someone confuses it with a Bat-variant.
On the filp side of serious is this Catmobile. I built this as a contest entry over on Rebrick, which gave me the perfect excuse to build this. Thankfully, I now have this Bright Light Orange beauty added to my personal collection. It's designed to be in line with the various official Batman Movie vehicles; in that it's somewhat overly large, includes a few play features that are barely worth the effort, and is intensely dedicated towards being faithful to the "spirit" of the character. Now I just hope someday soon Lego will release some of those new curved tiles in the right color, but otherwise this is a rather purrfect build.
Incidentally, over the next few days I should have some other entries up; specifically a location build that I've been working on and one that I'm very happy with.
