Note: There is nothing special about the Batman that is seen in the package below as of yet. Plans include to do a Batman like the one pictured on the custom card that I have recently made in the picture. I will strive to make the Batman as closely detailed as the picture on the card. This will include the different color cowl, costume, more realistic utility belt and the shorts will be the harder to find nylon rather than the cloth. What do you think of the custom card back so far? Any ideas or suggestions for the Batman custom before I begin?

Excellent. I will be sure to check it out. It will save me from reinventing the wheel so to speak. Thanks for the good suggestion.

I love the card. It almost looks like a comic book cover. What are your plans for the head?

Thanks. :smile: I like the vintage look of stuff myself as well. As far as the head I have just been informed that Repro heads has one that is dead on. Originally, I was going to paint an original Mego Batman head that I have an extra of and modify it to suit. Since Repro heads apparently already has did the work for me I guess I will check out their version of the head and decide which avenue I will take on doing the head.

Thank you. At this present time I believe that I am actually better at custom cards then I am at Mego customizing. :smile: Hopefully, that will all change for the better as I dabble more and more in creating Mego customs in the future. I have just recently started out in the world of customizing and I realize that I have a long way to go to hang with the pro's here if you will. :smile:

Hey! That's the video cover of the 60s Batman movie! I have that movie w/ the same cover. That makes a pretty cool card. :yes:

Yep, It is modified though. Your right it does make for a nice card. :smile: You may notice that the logo is of different size and of course Robin is also missing from the picture. I like that vintage movie to.
