Honestly? This. It has JUST the right sheen. It's tough to find.

Did the tranq pellets (bullets?) end up being red or copper?

 

[Valor]

I did red the first time and Copper the second. But there's really no precedent there.

 

[Nightwing Returns]

Awesome! Just started on mine last night - Valor - any tips on how to paint the grapple point to match the brass fixtures, or did you paint them all together?

Hey folks, I'm preparing for another run of this Speargun in kit for. Check it out in Project Runs!

 

[Valor]

Finally came back to the cathedral grapple. This is printed as a sold, none functional piece. I was able to use some of the extra brass dart fins from the spear.

That's exactly what I want!! I know making it work wasn't practicle, but I would LOVE a non functioning display piece to complete the set!!!! Is it available in the run yet?

 

[Valor]

Perhaps soon. email me at valorreplicas@gmail.com and we'll see what we can do.

I had no idea there was a different grapple! Wow still learning new things about this film. Amazing

 

[Rondesmo]

Hello, hope everyone is fine,

Just a few words to say that I received my speargun, bolo and cathedral grappling from Steve a few weeks ago.
As a Batman 89 die hardcore fan, I couldn’t be happier!

 

[Valor]

Thanks for the kind words. I still have like 2 or 3 kits sitting around if you're interested, PM me.

Steve

Rondesmo great display! May I ask where you got the belt from?

 

[Rondesmo]

Thanks Matt!

The Belt is from Stacey Props on ETSY. He is known to make the most accurate 89 belt ( and Batarang) on the market.
Both have exactly the same mechanism that the original prop.

Nick, any chance you could get the other photos? I am having problems saving them from the site.

This replica looks really good. Really close to this one at auction.

 

[Valor]

This is so awesome! Where the heck was this 2.5 years ago when I started mine!?!? ... In all seriousness, it's so good to see this prop have its moment at auction. Coincidentally, late into my project I was able to get some pictures and measurements of THIS speargun by the previous owner. It's what finally allowed me to proceed with an overall size I was confident in.

Also, this IS a Returns gun, but most details seem accurate. But some things to note. This has an actual retractable line. So the main barrel does not rotate and the space above the main barrel is almost closed.

AND, the big thick hockey puck "Hub" on the handle side clearly contains the retracting mechanism (requiring the larger size of that hub.) The Hero spearguns had a thinner hub like mine.

My compliments to the chef! I printed out the new Returns image with the ruler scaled 1:1 and the replica speargun is quite a nice match. The scale is dead on!
