This base figure
wasn't always going to become Azbats. Originally I'd planned on using it
to make an Azrael figure. While sorting through my TJ/JLA fodder, I
found the figure and began looking through reference art to see what needed to
be done. More than I was willing to do at the time, as it turns
out. But while I was looking through the art, I noticed how much this
figure looked like the version of Batman when Azrael took over the
mantle. At the time I was looking for a quick repaint, and I realized
that I wouldn't be making Azrael anytime soon.
So after a quick repaint, my Azbats looks much better. Yeah, it's not
exactly on model -- Hasbro actually released the more on-model Knightquest
version with the correct colors -- but I actually like it more than the
one Hasbro released.
