TWO-FACE'S TRADING POST
(by Tim "TWO-FACE" Leighton)
I know that there are many people out there that collect Batman OR Superman items -
like
myself. I only started a year ago and, believe me, finding some of these items (like
action figures) that were released a couple years ago is pretty tough! So, I decided to
start up a
little section in the newsletter to help out our fellow Bat-fans. I can only
personally guarantee that my entries are 100% true, for I saw these items with my own
eyes. So we're working on the honour system here. Sound fair?
ALSO if you are LOOKING for something, e-mail me and I can put your request in the
"WANT TO BUY" section. There is the possibility that a fellow subscriber
is willing to sell what you're looking for!
IMPORTANT QUERY: Many fans have been unable to see any of the new-style BTAS episodes,
and any of the STAS or BATMAN BEYOND episodes. Can someone who is in the know point out a
website that tells the copyright laws regarding taping episodes off the TV and selling
them to people who want 'em? I'm not saying we're doing this - but I know it would
help many out. So if anyone has any official info on this (or, better yet, if someone from
the WB network contact us), that'd be great. In the meantime, we won't be selling or
trading any home-recorded BTAS episodes here.
Well, here we go! I hope this helps out someone out there!
1. JOKERZ LEADER. Mail editor Tim "TWO-FACE" Leighton if you are interested
in the Jokerz Leader figure from the new "Batman Beyond" line, in a near-mint
package. Pic available. E-mail: juno@direct.ca
2. KILLER CROC. Editor Tim "TWO-FACE" Leighton has a spare Killer Croc figure
lying around, in a mint package. Pic available. E-mail juno@direct.ca if interested.
3. THE MAD HATTER. Yup! Editor Tim "TWO-FACE" Leighton has one spare BTAS
"Mad Hatter" figure (in a mint-condition package) in his possession that he is
willing to get rid of. This is the only Mad Hatter figure in existance (to our collective
knowledge), and is a wonderful figure besides! Sure, that was a shameless plug, but it IS
a cool figure. Pic available. If interested, e-mail: juno@direct.ca
4. Wow! Look at all this! If you want any of the following, or are even interested,
e-mail Craig at NextNexus@aol.com -Scans are
available for all the figures, too. All figures are MOC (mint, on card), and from
the various BTAS lines.
Quick-change Bruce Wayne (red outfit)
Quick-change Bruce Wayne in yellow outfit = $35 RARE!
Turbojet Batman
Anti-Freeze Batman
Sky Dive Batman
Decoy Batman (orange "Mask of the Phantasm" card)
Total Armor Batman ("MotP" card)

WANTS TO BUY
1. CLAYFACE. Anyone know where to get a "Legends of the Dark Knight" Clayface
figure? I know it's not animated, but it still counts for this column...can anyone help?
E-mail: juno@direct.ca
2. COMBAT BELT BATMAN, and BTAS BATMOBILE. If you know where to find these
figures - or a BTAS Batwing (I'm pretty sure one was made) e-mail this address: cnwitkow@concentric.net
