Is anyone on a resin replica one?

Thanks,

Do you mean the one that was included with the Collector's Edition of the game? We had considered picking it up, but fortunately asked about the batarang first. It looks very cheap - not even as nice as something you'd pick up at those seasonal Halloween stores. There are several on eBay right now.

I'm actually asking if anyone is doing a replica that is better in quality,looks and doesn't have a damn stand attached to it so that I can chuck it around.

I got the collectors edition yesterday and it looks like the bataramg was done by a 5 year old.I'm extremely pissed at the quality of it.

Yeah, it's pretty sloppy. I wonder if it can just be snapped off, re-sanded and painted?

The best thing to do here is to make a resin one that doesn't have scratches.

Which I am working on. My friend donated his, he was pissed and got it off the stand and wants me to mold it.

I don't have one but how does the size look to everyone? A bit small?

I drew this up in Inventor for Hydin. I completely guessed on the dimensions using a photo.

The review above says the batarang is 14" wide if that helps with the dimensions.

That was my starting point.

I have one and 14 inches looks pretty ok to me

 

[rmschneider104]

Pity. That could have been a pretty cool item for the CE. Oh well... normal edition works for me.

 

[Cjfung]

yeah,It really could have been a really cool item,I heard that it was originally planned to me 12 inches and metal,could have been better than this piece of crap

 

[Cjfung]

Bump

What gets me is how many people got the CE and stuck the batarang, and case directly on eBay, keeping the game and the other good stuff that came with it. If we wait long enough, I think the prices might be pretty low and someone can snag one for improvements.

 

[Cjfung]

well,that explains the crappiness of the item

 

[Cjfung]

bump of the bat :ninja

Just tell the assembly line (at pic 35) to go outside and shoot some hoops instead.

It might actually be the designer's fault for a poor "scratch master" model.

Out of the box its a cheap looking piece..but with a little work it can look better..here is mine after a little update:
