Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – Tech Manual

April 4, 2016 by Stephen Jang Leave a Comment

Whenever there is a new Batman flick, like James Bond, Batman always has cool new toys to use on the bad guys. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Batman has a new Batsuit, Batmobile and Batplane to get all the fanboys excited. Well, almost everything you need to know about all the Bat-vehicles and Bat-gadgets, and even Superman’s suit and Wonder Woman’s uniform and weapons are in this book by Titan Books, it’s the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – Tech Manual.

If you’ve seen the movie, Batman is a mix of Frank Miller’s Dark Knight and as director Zach Snyder explains: “My Batman is the late 40s, and war weary” (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – Tech Manual, page 19). Zach and the design team not only focused on Batman’s overall Batsuit, but went into detail about the body armor, the tech inside the cowl/mask, the cape and the utility belt.

From the Jada Toys Metals Die Cast line-up comes the Batman v Superman Batmobile Model Kits. Yes, a model, you will need to build something, but model kit is already pre-painted and pretty much assembled, but you will have to screw the tires and a few pieces together. What’s cool it’s a nice finished Batmoblie die-cast build and features an opening cockpit that you can put two small figures in it.

Revoltech Iron Man Mark VII

March 3, 2013 by Stephen Jang Leave a Comment

If you really hate the Marvel standard 4 inch Iron Man action figures, why not order a Revoltech Iron Man?

Japanese toy company Kaiyodo’s latest Sci-Fi Revoltech action figure – the Avengers Iron Man Mark VII. The figure is slightly pricier at around $60 but you gets lots of cool details, inner workings of the Iron Man suit, and highly articulate ball joints which makes this very posable.

MSRP: $57.00USD

Grab one @ BigBadToyStore.com – Revoltech Iron Man Mark VII.

This LEGO build should be placed in the Super Geektastic Hall of Fame! Batman’s Batcave built by LEGO builders Carlyle Livingston II and Wayne Hussey looks amazing. This team-up build took around 3 months, over 800 hours, over 20,000 parts, and weighs over 100 pounds.

If you’re not impressed, you can go with the regular LEGO Batman Batcave:

Wow, this LEGO Batcave can’t compare to the custom Carlyle & Wayne Batcave!

Well if you can’t afford to buy Hot Toys’ The Dark Knight Rises vehicles (for instance the Movie Masterpiece 1/6 Scale Tumbler vehicle is $439.99 for preorder and will be out next year – ed. note), then you can build The Tumbler and The Bat vehicles yourself. These two awesome looking Batman vehicles were built by super LEGO builder Peer Kreuger aka mahjqa.

Insight Editions: The Dark Knight Manual

July 26, 2012 by SW biko Leave a Comment

This is so cool – I’ve always been looking for the greater cause. I don’t mean just donating a few bucks to your favorite charity. What I mean is sacrificing myself for the greater good of mankind – I just never knew how to get started. Now, I think I have just found my ray of light. In the manual, there’s everything you need to get started on the Batcave and the Batman arsenals – Diagrams, Sketches, and many more. I just hope it comes with instructions on how to pay for everything.
