My Collection: The Dark Knight Rises Collectors Blu-ray Limited Edition Bat Cowl

The Dark Knight Rises Collectors Blu-ray Limited Edition Bat Cowl.

I’m a big fan of The Christopher Nolan Batman movies and I was very excited for the third and final film in this trilogy, it was the first batman movie that was released since I started getting into Batman graphic novels.
What better way to end to end of this great trilogy with a Limited Edition statue. The Dark Knight Rises was my favorite movie of 2012 and that Christmas my generous Brother got this to me as a gift. 


I first saw it at my local Xtra-vision close to Christmas and I was so tempted to get it there and then. I felt that I had to have it and its just something so different. Movie collectors statues and display pieces were something I was quite unaware of until then. It was a real surprise to receive this
amazing set from my brother that Christmas morning.

This awesome display piece houses the two Blu-ray disks in the back. I loved the promotional material that this statue is based on.Its a extremely well detailed piece and I love how it looks dirty. It is identical  to the poster image its based on. This was a great aspect to of the creators to make into a statue. Never again will you get a broken Bat Cowl.
I love this statue and the fact that it is Limited Edition adds to the appreciation of this piece.

Short and sweet this time and there is more to come

My Collection: The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters Action Figure Batman

I’m a big fan of The Christopher Nolan Batman movies and I was very excited for the third and final film in this trilogy, it was the first batman movie that was released since I started getting into Batman graphic novels. The Movie Masters accommodate both film and Comic book action figure collectors.
MOVIE MASTERS With authentic detail, deluxe articulation and supreme quality, the Movie Masters line offers fans the premium collecting experience. True-to-scale, these figures are expertly crafted to ensue the highest standards for your collection.

After Mattel’s The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters Build A Batsignal caught my attention I was interested in this figure for my collection. I ordered it online from the States and received in time for Christmas. This was my second Batman collectors’ action figure. Although I already had a Batman this one was a great figure that I couldn't pass up. This Batman action figure is just an outstanding collector’s item and it goes along with my Movie Masters Batsignal. 

It is an extremely solid and eye-catching figure that does full justice to its source material.He is shorter than and not as buff as other Batman figures as The Movie Masters Line is a representation of the characters in realistic proportions. The figure is made my Mattel and is extremely similar to the DC Universe Classics which are my preferred line of collector’s figures.

From the body armor to the spiked gauntlets to the bat chest symbol, the whole suit is there in impressive detail. This is the most detailed Batman figure I own and it is based on a physical representation of the Caped Crusader. This Batman figure is not only highly detailed, but also so subtle. What looks like a solid black figure is much more intricate, the very nature of the Dark Knight suit works to hide the various joints and create a more natural look. The detailing and the amour hide the joints of the figure and consist of different shades of black, gray and glossy paint applications.





This is the second release of this figure and is almost identical  to the Dark Knight Movie Masters Batman figure. This version has some minor paint differences and more practical accessory piece. The previous waves accessory were various evidence bags and this that Batman release included an over sized Batman cowl. This 2012 release is better as it included a base piece to build the awesome Batsignal.

This is an awesome collectors figure and one that will kept me interested in Mattel’s future Movie Masters releases. It is just great to have collectors merchandise based on an excellent and one of my favorite movie franchises.


Later Bat-fans

My Collection: The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters Build A Batsignal

The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters Batsignal

This is one of the coolest and most sought after collector items I own. I managed to win the Batsignal one night on eBay. The Movie Masters toy line was a adult collectors line of action figures from Mattel based on popular movie franchises. In the Dark Knight  Rises Movie Masters line consisted of seven figures and each of these movie characters featured a piece to collect and build the Batsignal.

This was such a cool find, which I found on eBay when I was just looking through other Batman figures. I found this and added it to my Watch List after and later placed a bid on it after I looked up a video review of it. I was slightly obsessed and paid close attention to it for the remainder of the time left. I almost missed it setting a reminder for 4 pm only for being so interested I later saw the auction was ending 4 am. All the better so I could hopefully be the winner of it sooner. I got up early enough to bid and watch the end of the auction. Placing my two bids as the timer counted down and was so excited when I won the item. It wasn't that expensive considering it would have took seven collector action figures to build the full Batsignal. 

I was so excited and couldn't wait to receive the Batsignal. The item was dispatched from the States. I got home from work day and found the package, and assuming it was something else I ordered the same time from Dublin. The Batsignal package had arrived before it in only four days from America to Ireland. It continued to amaze  when I opened it up and got to build it for myself. It was awesome, not only did it light up but it projected the Bat symbol. My brothers were really jealous and my girlfriend was so impressed with this amazing collectors item.

I had learned online of how collectors were trying hard to find and locate each figure in order to build the complete Batsignal. and I was so pleased I had it as my own. I was very lucky. I had one Batman figure at the time and I displayed both together.The was the essential six pieces and the rare exclusive seventh piece of the broken Batsignal to recreate one of the end scenes at the end of The Dark Knight. This piece was included with Commissioner Gordan action figure and his figure even included an axe. 


I love this collectors item and it is one of my most treasured pieces of my collection. I was so happy to receive this and have a representation of one of the best and my favorite movie franchise. 
I 'm a huge fan of the Christopher Nolan Batman movies. 

This Dark Knight Movie Masters Batsignal is awesome.This is one of my favorite displays in my collection.Not everyone can say they have this item which makes it all the more significant and special to me because I do.

I couldn't praise this collectors item enough and the photos don't do it justice. Its a special, one of a kind collectors item and I'm so fortunate to have it.


See ya's later
