Issue #5: You're army building wrong

This week's freebie is the biggest one yet, and I have some opinions about your clone army.


Freebie of the Week

A free build you can make this week. Files on me.

LEGO-Style Absolute Batman, Free to 3D Print

3D-printed LEGO-style Absolute Batman, standard and big-butt versions side by side

Absolute Batman is the biggest, bulkiest Batman ever drawn, so I made him into a LEGO-style big fig you can print at home: spiked shoulders, claw hands, and arms that rotate at the shoulder.

There are two versions: standard, and one with a much bigger butt. Because of course there is.

You get the STL files for both, plus print-ready slicer files with everything already laid out on the plate, my print settings, and a painting guide.

Surprisingly, they didn't reveal any storylines or spoilers, which I am extremely thankful for. The stills are just aura farming for each character, and boy did it work. WOW!

The countdown stream reportedly peaked at over 21,000 live viewers. The hype is real, and so are the Death Pool stakes (more on that below). Doomsday hits theaters December 18. Source

The best Halloween costume this year goes to the Avengers: Doomsday cast. Robert Downey Jr., who plays Doctor Doom, dressed up as Mister Fantastic, and Pedro Pascal, who plays Mister Fantastic, went as Doctor Doom, complete with the mask, green hood, and cape.
