Here is a cool CA West style Batman 12". Nice looking costume all around and the belt looks spot on. I really like the box design how he utilized the history of the 66 show onto the inside flap/cover. Nice artwork theme as well. I have contacted this customiser and invited him to join. He had sent me images of his other works, I really think you all will love his work, like his Mr. freeze, Gorshin Riddler just to name a couple.   Heres a link to his CA Bats which is currently running on ebay. cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48965&item=5987250347&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVWWill |

I like it. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. This highlights an interesting thing in customising. Even with my small experience it always interests me to see a figure that looks like a real toy and another that looks like a near perfect miniature figure of an actor or whoever. This to me is a perfect example of something that really does look like a genuine toy which you could have bought in a store in 1966. Top marks to this fella. Nice work.

Guys,
The figures are made by "ricksraiders". I have one of his Adam West Batman figures and it is awesome. I make all of his boxes, including the one pictured in this auction. Like Will said, he's also recently done an Otto Preminger Mr. Freeze, a Gorshin Riddler, a Romero Joker, and a Burt Ward Robin. He's also done other comic heroes in the Capt Action style like The Flash, Hawkman, Green Goblin, Green Lantern, Space Ghost, The Shadow, Iron Man, and more.

Ah, YOU'RE the one that makes Rick's boxes! The secret is finally out. After years of dealing with Rick, I finally learn who his secret 'box guy' is. Nice work again.
By the way - I made that Kiss Destroyer model for him that is in the background of the photo! Small world.

After conversing with this customiser he had sent me a dozen or so images of different stuff he has made, awesome stuff!. I assume being summer and stuff he has been terribly bussy, by hopefully soon he will pop in to say hello and show more of his work here. Will |
