Thanks!

You know it! I was thinking of using the head, too, but I've already used it for my Twins, so I'd need to keep the mask on... which I maybe should anyway...?

I expect that'd be harder to come by, so I'll do two bats, instead; I'm also gonna give him Mage's bag... I'd give him Mage's bat, too, but it's transparent...

Alright, this is a real stretch, but have you ever seen those baseball bat pens? I think I got one from a tiger game way back when I was little. It's possible that you could find some in a store. I can't say for sure, but they might end up being the right size, and all you'd have to do it take out the parts that make it a pen. I'll try and find mine and see if it's to scale (or close). Anyway, that's the best I got. I can't think of many recent toy lines that have bats that might be in scale. However, I'll keep a lookout and see what I can find! I can dig through my own junk too; I still have so many toys from when I was little. You never know!
OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

How much effort you wanna put into it?
Do you know anyone with a mini lathe? It's like a wood lathe but small for pen and pipe-making hobbyists They are very easy to use and you could get the bat perfect size. If you wanted to eventually buy a wood lathe for all sorts of odds and ends for your larger joes you can get em from Penn state I'm gonna get one later on, for now I just use a full sized wood lathe for my things I craft.

Don't forget his golf club and cricket bat, just to give him a well rounded weapon set.

Checked my McFarlane sports figs for bats and sticks - too small to look right.

I think my brothers used to have a bat with their Big Jim figures. Check eBay and see if anyone's got a junk lot with something like that in it.

Another option for bats in the unpainted wood sections of craft stores. Haven't seen them at Michael's or Joann's, but in Utah there was a big craft store (Provocraft, I think) that had a big section. They had some unfinished bats.

Lastly, try cake decorating stores. They usually have sports accesories that are on the larger side.

Welcome, Underbrush!

I love your signature, man.

I've used my dremel so rarely thus far that I hesitate to buy another such tool...

Click it.

'Nuff said. :cool:



Thanks, man! I remembered the custom but not who'd done it; I was already planning to use Spirit pants 'cause I remembered them from that figure. :)

My Mage bat is clear, though...?

Great suggestions, man. Thanks!

Maybe look at some Barbie stuff too. You'd probably have to paint it (I know, I know) but it should be about the right scale I'd think. And honestly, the image of Casey Jones with a bright pink baseball bat tickles me.

http://www.craftamerica.com/wood_miniatures.htm

a little chubby, but there's a 4" one which might be about right.

http://www.pylones-usa.com/product.php? ... 6a95e8e60e

and

http://woodenpost.com/products/finished ... _boxes.htm

this one looks like it might be smaller than the average 8" Bat-Pen that keeps coming up in my searches, I'd contact them first though, at $7 plus shipping, that's kind of expensive for one pen, lol.. the second one has them at $3.95 and they look average "pen" size, so that might be your best bet.

http://www.garrettspecialties.com/hocke ... -3556.html

8" Hockey stick pen.. might be okay seeing a reg stick is usually about the same hight or a tad smaller than the person using it.


that's all I got, the Crickett bat seems the easiest, just get some of those craft sticks, widdle it away and then leave a handle and then wrap it with medical tape.

Except I thought you said Joefly. :oops:

I'd totally forgotten about Cobrafly's white mask; I'm now seeking it in a trade!
