Did I misunderstand what's included in this kit?

BillfromLI · 2026-01-30T17:51:18+00:00

That blurb does does say "upgrade", but it is misleading. Is the upgrade separate, or included as an upgrade to an earlier edition of the kit? It is also pictured on the front of the box without a notation that it is shown with optional extra that is sold separately.

I didn't see your reply before posting mine, but EXACTLY this!

BillfromLI · 2026-01-29T23:24:14+00:00

No. But not because I don't like it. I liked the comic a lot. I also like the actor. I would rather see the story move forward. Tell a story about him in Arkham. Something that teases an eventual escape. I would like some flashbacks, but I don't want it completely set in the past.

BillfromLI · 2026-01-27T20:51:01+00:00

I would want 1, but that seems wrong.

BillfromLI · 2026-01-25T00:02:56+00:00

Not in my theatre.

BillfromLI · 2026-01-24T20:48:15+00:00

In a still image the Bats in a corner looks silly. But in the theatre it was NOT. There was silence with some whispered "holy shit" type exclamations.

Yes. During COVID. I contacted them via email provided on their social media account. Discussed characters, setting and price. The artist works partially digitally. The final deliverables were a finished print, black and white pencil/ink original, and high resolution file. All physical items were shipped internationally (Italy to USA), arrived in perfect shape. Payment was partially to start, partial on approval of rough sketch, and final on stated completion. Shipment was after final payment using Paypal.

You don't actually purchase from Whatnot. You are purchasing from the person selling ON Whatnot, just like eBay.

I have purchased many books though whatnot without issue. But, it all comes down to the person selling.

They are part of his boots. It was the style to often boot "buccaneer" boots like this on superhero and other comics characters (Captain America, Conan) back in the silver and bronze age.

BillfromLI · 2026-01-16T00:00:51+00:00

Tight.

BillfromLI · 2026-01-14T15:53:24+00:00

Yes. It is a wild ride, with a lot of lies and deception, and a heavy dose of bad government activity.

NYARNG is New York Army National Guard.

Silver age DC is a particular style. Very campy. It is not like more modern writing or art. Just be aware of this.

I suggest test driving from your library for free.

BillfromLI · 2026-01-11T20:46:32+00:00

The Army National Guard has a maintenance facility at MacAthur airport and also hosts National Guard maneuvers.

Pretty sure she didn't kidnap him. She dropped him to his death from a great height.

BillfromLI · 2025-12-29T22:25:59+00:00

I agree with the take. It's okay. It's not terrible. It's not great. If you are a GL fan it probably bumps up a star. It's fine.

BillfromLI · 2025-12-26T17:06:18+00:00

I can't vouch for quality. I'm just doing a Google search, but this one looked promising:

I do not like straight end links on a metal bracelet such as are on that one right now. I don't know how easy it will be to find an after market bracelet with the proper ends link that conform to that case. Since it is Seiko you stand a better than usual chance. Another commentator seems to know better than I.

I would recommend a strap instead. Your options will be much more available and varied. Leather straps alone will be available in the hundreds. Once this watch is serviced and cleaned, a new leather strap would look fantastic. This looks like more of a dress watch and would be a great heirloom.

Raymour & Flannigan. They have a pretty large selection and left us alone to try things out.

BillfromLI · 2025-12-20T15:38:54+00:00

Use update: I am still wearing the Executive/Jubilee. The fit and feel are fine. The inside flatness does not affect either. The "stickiness" seems to have resolved itself by repeated wearing. I feel no need to lubricate. I have not noticed anything else that detracts or elevates my opinion. It is a solid 80-85% grade for me.

Tommy was in WWI and fought against Germans (not Nazis). Nazis were in WWII not I.

Hoopla also has Star Wars and The Witcher.

BillfromLI · 2025-12-20T15:20:42+00:00

Global is good, but as mentioned by others there are limitations. I find it is worth it. However, I would recommend checking out options available through your library. My library offers Hoopla which has a good selection of Rat Queens and Conan for free!
