Greetings from Gotham... I mean Chicago!

My name is Christina and I live just outside of Chicago... I have been a lurker/guest on these boards for a few years but decided to join today out of curiosity.

I mainly collect Batman figures and Nightmare before Christmas memorabilia and have been collecting since I was a small child...
I work as a professional filmmaker on and off and during the off time I usually make money off of eBay making & selling 1:6 scale stuff... for this reason my collection fluctuates from large to a small rather quickly...

The Dark Knight Hot Toys Series is my pride and joy of 1:6 scale collecting... even the ones I am not fond of, I enjoy for the pure fact that they go with the set (Lol)

Right now my collection is pretty random including Tony Stark, Spiderman, a custom Beetlejuice, a few Resident Evil figures, Xfiles, and some older Sideshow Figures... but as I said, my main passion is Batman... so much so that I even have an entire Animated Series sleeve!

I am looking for other Batman fans or hot toy collectors to nerd out and share ideas with... if you live in the area, even better

Welcome, huge batfan myself and about 80 miles south of Chi-town.

I saw the pic of your sleeve in another thread--very cool! The animated series is probably my favorite representation of Batman.

to the board!!

Wellcome to the freak show , come on in n join the party,

I live in Chicago. Batman collector myself especially Hot Toys.

Hi Christina welcome to the freak board. You should start a collection thread. Seen your stuff on youtube... some really cool figures

Chicago collector here, welcome to the forum!

Thanks Gypsycatcha, I will def think about it in the near future

My collection is in terrible "showing condition" right now... I did buy some new lights from ikea and plan on installing them today (the aquarium LEDs I have work perfectly fine, but I had some extra cash to spend and thought why not do it right). I will def have some new videos in the future... I have been working on a new Harley Quinn, more like the animated series version vs the sideshow/DC 1:6 scale figure... Don't get me wrong, she is beautiful, but her face sculpt is all wrong from the cartoony Harley I am used too... If she turns out right, next will be a joker!

Welcome!

Location gives it away, and glad to meet another Chicagoan!


Enjoy the show!

Started my own thread thanks to Gypsy !!!

I nearly brought her the other day but something else came up. Im planning on doing a haired custom with a Heath joker vibe going on... Iv heard the body isnt the best so may end up changing that later on. Cant beat Ikea for decent, affordable lighting Love that place

@ gypsycatcha That is exactly what I am going to do!!! I've seen some really cool 1:6 scale female business skirt suit sets... I am thinking about taking the face sculpt from the Sideshow Harley and placing blonde pigtails over her hood/jester ears... then a white dr/lab coat to bring it all together... my own Dr. Harleen Quinzel

Ken I am loving it so far! It is nice to know that others have the same crazy, collecting passion that I do
And it is totally Jurassic Park

Welcome young lady.
I do not share your collecting interests but do share your collecting passion.
Enjoy!
