Hey I was thinking that some of you may have the same problem I've been having with the lack of decals (missing or damaged) on some of your vehicles. So I thought I'd pitch in and help all I can for those who might need replacements.
For starters I have recreated the decal for the '89 batwing and am in the process of recreating the decals for the batcopter. Just pm me and I'll be glad to send you the file.

Now that you mention it, I could use the headlight decals to the Batman Returns Custom Coupe. I think my brother peeled them off when it became the ride for his Cable figure... I'd also like a new front oval logo decal to my Dark Knight Collection Bola Bullet.
Now that we're on the subject of decals again, have you ever seen a DKC Joker Cycle with side decals? As I said earlier, mine didn't come with any, despite the yellow ring face logo being seen in catalog phoos. But a look on eBay shows that it apparently had one - one that is entirely different...

I got mine new back when they were in stores. It has the decals like shown in the ebay auction. I think that it is at my parent's house now, but I am going to try to get that stuff this weekend. I can try to re-create the label, but it may be pretty hard to find the Joker head.

Caleson- I could get you a scan of the toy biz Joker cycle decal if that'd be any help.

We've had people email BYTB's Site Help asking about vehicle decal print-outs before, so this could prove quite useful. I'd be interested in seeing what all you've got, batmania. And how do you scan them? Do you angle the vehicle just right or do you actually have spare decals? Maybe we could offer these on the site (and credit you as the original creator) if you don't mind.

With my 89 batwing I removed the decal and then scanned it in. I dunno if you've experienced this or not but the toy biz decals are especially frail and somewhat blurry. Anyway...I took my scanned pic and recreated it in Illustrator. I'm currently doing the same thing with the batcopter decals but they are in rough shape, plus they have more detail. If I did make these people would have to understand they wouldn't *exactly* the same. But hey, to me they're better than nothing!
