STATE of the BATMAN Collection Part 2 March 2024

Followup to the Part 1 Batman collection 2024 video where I share the other half of my 7 to 12 inch Batman related figures! This update shows the many McFarlane figures I have gathered in the last year, along with my Joel Shumacher movie set!
Notably absent this go round is any of my beloved 1966 Batman figures, Hot Toys, DC or otherwise!
Sorry about the dust! I had dusted two days before shooting, and realized a new layer had gathered after I had shot this one. So be it. (Spring! What I get for opening windows...)
Most of these are now dusted and packed off for storage for a while. Living in a small duplex apartment means I have to rotate my collection out every once in a while, and since 2023 was the big BATMAN gathering year, I am using 2024 and 2025 for other movie sets! Star Wars and Jaws and some other things will be the focus for a while!
I will keep gathering Batman figures that appeal to me, and will probably do single vids of anything I really like in the meantime. So, enjoy this foray into my Batman collection as it stands, or stood, as of March 2024!
I want to thank the following for helping me to realize my Batman figure collection as it stands:
DC Direct figures for all the wicked period Batman figures!
McFarlane Toys for all the badass DC/Batman figures! Keep them coming!
Batgirl31 for the Batman capes you made for me and continue to make for others!
OT-Customs for the Batman cape I got for my Knightfall Batman! Great works!
Hot Toys figures for all you guys do for the hobby!
Horizon Models! Revell Models! JAKKS figures!
Anthony Durso for his awesome boxes!
ToysTruboStudio for the much needed TwoFace figure!
Mars Toys for the new and much needed figures that Hot Toys didn't make!
Henry Wayne for his amazing Batman Returns custom figure!
Derrick Woods for all your help, advice and support!
Chris Johnson for your contributions to the collection!
Greg Kimsey and the Artfull Barn gang for all the paint, spray and supplies!
Days of Old with Willy's old Batman Customs website, with Will and the gang that inhabited that place!
Kevin Wahl for all your Batman info and support over the years!
To Scot and Faithful Butler and all you guys! I miss all of you!
Spencer for his custom Nicholson Joker clothes!
And the countless KZbin videos that inspired me to try new ideas, and go the distance with custom figures! You guys rock! ESPECIALLY, Cosplay Chris and his custom ideas, 1995 Batman and your love for the days of Schumacher, and two specific figure collectors that mean the world to me, Todd's Collectibles and his AMAZING displays, and of course, Dean Knight 333 and his great taste and astounding collection!
Plus, anyone else who I have failed to list, but who have helped me gather cool Batman loot in all these years!
And of course...
My beloved wife Bonnie for the support, influences and the handmade clothing items like for Catwoman and more! I love you!

Thank you for the shout-out!! Anytime!!!

Great collection Les, some real gems in there. Your custom paint work really makes them pop.

[@LesWalker2023]

Thanks buddy! I think of you often when collecting within the Schumacher era!

I know you already did a video on the McFarlane sonar suit Kilmer but I wish you could have shown some clips of you in action painting it along with a ton else

I just don't have the capability yet to shoot long enough on a project. But, I will! The McFarlane Kilmer was an easy redo however, just repainted all the suit Oily Steel in the Vallejo acrylics line and made a new cape. It is not a tough makeover as some are. As for the 1/6 figure, it was a nightmare. Got it done though, but it was not so fun and took a long time. Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Amazing collection and customs! I've been following your work since 2006. Did you make the custom capes on your McFarlane movie Batman figures? The really take the figures to the next level! ❤

[@LesWalker2023]

Wow! Since 2006! I am honored! I do hope I have gotten better since then! lol! As regards capes for McFarlane Batman figures, I made the capes for the Batman Forever figures, and for the Batman & Robin one. I got my 89 Batman and Flash Batman and the Bale Dark Knight Batman, all great capes, from Batgirl31 on Ebay. Great cape maker! For the BvS and The Batman, both of those were made by me. The Pattinson one is a little crude, but ok. The one for my Affleck came out the best of any I have done. I don't make capes for sale though. Just occasionally for my own stuff. I do recommend Batgirl31 though! Great capes! Thanks for coming back around! Hope I have new stuff to show soon!
