    A custom gift

    Last year someone came to me looking for a couple custom heads I didn't have. I knew where to get them, and managed to take care of it for them. It was a nothing, especially since I was getting paid to paint the heads once I got them.

    A couple months later, the customer sends me an email with pictures of the finished customs along with a couple others they had been working on.

    Here's one of them.


    Batgirl AE - Barbara Gordon

    I commented on how much I liked the work and gave some props for expanding the AE line with a figure I had never seen done before.

    This week I received the above custom in the mail as a gift.

    I just wanted to give a public thanks to Robin (who just signed up here BTW) for a really cool guesture. I really like the custom and appreciate the kindness. It's really cool to see someone who had no reason to do what they did, except to share the Mego fun with someone else. Reminds me what it's all about.

    Thanks again, and welcome to the Mego Museum.

        That's an awesome gesture and a fantastic custom by the way!!!
        The generosity of people in this forum never ceases to amaze me.
        That is one sweet A.E. and a must have for anybody that owns the bruce wayne and Dick Grayson A.E.'s.

              That's a really cool idea and great execution on Babs. Pretty cool gesture, too.

                    er... Robin is actually the name of the customizer, not the customizers user name.
