A refresh on a figure I made previously but wasn't completely satified with. Rescuplted the torso and made a new head based on the high-tech uniforms worn by the League of Shadows Members during the third act of Batman Begins. * Not the more traditional ninja appearance from the first act. A custom scabbard and sword. A dry brush paint job to differenciate it from the Begins Batman figure. Since the inital custom, I have built a second figure to expand the ranks, the differences are subtle, I didn't have as many found parts like the goggles and shoulder pads so I improvised. The original shoulder pads are from the 4 inch Batman Begins Henri Ducard figure.
One thing I wasn't happy with was how the legs looked. They looked too much like the Batsuit legs, the gaunlets were the main reason I decided th make this custom, they fitted the nija suits because the ones Bruce used were the same as the League but the legs of the League members were clad in trousers in the film and I didn't want to sculpt onto the Batman legs and compromise the flexibility of the figures. In the end I literally made some small trousers out of the same fabric I have been making my cloth capes. The improvement is obvious. Now the figure look just like the thugs from the end of the film, its a shame you only see them briefly...
