They called it the Skybat at the con, but I had the same feelings as Apacolypse. Not the greatest figure.. feels cheap.
The answer I got was that the wings would have gotten in the way of the parchutes..thus they didn't give them any. Now as for giving him wings, Barefoot has the right idea. The Sand Viper glider will fit on the figure, although you may have to make some alterations, it isn't much. Alyosha has a custom of the Sigma 6 figure that he made taking the BAT attack figure painted it blue and attached the said glider. It is a cheap figure, but i figure it was just a novelty gift considering they gave half of them away. It was just something quick and fun for the kids. |

Well, they're not as complicated in design as the larger S6 BAT wings, but you should be able to find the 2.5 sets for relatively cheap.
http://www.entertainmentearth.com/pr...number=HJ62154 The wings are attached by means of a plug in the back. Shouldn't be too hard to adapt it for your needs. I'd lose the missile though. |

Eh, not so much, the spans around 2.5 inches.
Edit, I take that back, more like 3 inches. In fact, here they are on a standard 3" Stik. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...s/DSC00486.jpg Last edited by Hicks_Royel; 07-13-2008 at 01:50 AM.. |

Now...if they called it a SkyBAT...it should come with wings, sorry. As for wings getting in the way of the parachute...keep them off for the drop, but then give them WITH the figure when being handed out.

No problem, last I saw of them was at a KB Toys. I wouldn't pay more than 5 bucks for the set. Though you shouldn't have trouble finding a use for the glider as well.

Magick is mostly right. The custom he mention that I own came from GSCBR if IRC. The wings are big, but to carry a lump that size, they would be about right.

Uh, no.
Page 24 of the Con comic has the Sky B.A.T. file card. It was this years parachute figure, but the name was not parachute bat.
