While digging around the internet looking at all the fine bootleg stuff China has to offer, I stumbled on to a
bootleg LEGO Bat-Pod aka Bat-cycle. Looking it over, I realized it was something I could cobble together on my own with the LEGO pieces I have at home. Some slight modifications and substitutions later, and I came up with this beauty!
It's a fun display piece, but since I don't have the correct wheels, they don't spin freely on the axles I have created. Which is fine, it won't roll off the shelf when someone bumps it!
I do like the adjustable wheel-height feature. This is an all-terrain Bat-Pod!
I will probably continue to modify this thing, or go back to the drawing board and come up with something 'better.' But it was fun to reverse-engineer the bootleg from the pictures and figure out what parts I needed to make this thing. It was also fun to come up with a few ideas myself (like the 'headlights' and 'tail-lights', and the blue missiles) sometimes out of necessity, since I couldn't find every single part I needed in the exact colors the original was built (namely, black and dark grey!)
Regardless, Batman seems happy.
