Is it possible to use an adaptor on it instead of batteries? Same with Ultron?

Does it have a plug in on the base somewhere for an adapter? if yes, then you should be able to find an AC/DC adapter, but make sure it's rated for correct voltage/amps. You plug the wrong adapter in, rated at higher amps, and you'll fry all the LEDs.

I have no idea what these require. If i had to guess, 5V (maybe 12V), and only a small amount of current, maybe 200 mA at most.

There is no plug. Can one be installed via the battery box?

Not without destroying the base you wouldn't be able to install an adaptor for it.

it can be done.

Most of the statues with light up features require 3-1.5 volt AA batteries. So an adapter from any device with the same voltage will work. you can also get new adapters for electronic stores that have variable voltage setting, that are adjusted with a slide switch. I've got a whole box of adapters that range from 1.5 volts to 12 volts. The most Important thing is to not use higher than 4.5 volts, or how ever many batteries are used multiplied by the voltage of each. You won't hurt anything with to little voltage as they'll just be dimmer or to the point they won't work.

Thanks for the information. I will go to Radio Shack tomorrow.

It will still have to be wired into the battery compartment.

yes, and if you want you can do a professional job by peeling off the bottom label and using a dremel to make a groove to the outside of the base. there you can either just have a wire hanging out with a connector or epoxy in a connector like factory and paint it up.
