    Man-bat Mego with B:tas figure head?

    I was just wondering if anyone ever made a Man-bat mego using the Batman: The Animated Series head (or parts). Just curious. I'm surprised that, as far as I know, nobody offers Man-bat parts.

    (My wife laughs everytime I mention Man-bat. Don't know why.

    I've seen one done that way, way too small and out of proportion. I've got a bat I picked up at Halloween that is eventually going to be Man-Bat.

        Check our Brian Leitner's site. He does a very mego-like version of the character. The wings might not be what you want, but the head is nice, particularly with a creative paint job.

          Leitner's is nice. I really like the wings. I built up a whole Man-bat-type figure for my Owlman from the Secret Saturdays.

            well, just use that recipe and sculpt it over a Mego Wolfman head.

              I did mine after being influenced by Wayne Foundation's.
              I made the legs longer and crafted the feet to look more "batty" out of sculpty. Yes, the head is way too small but it does look pretty slick. Until I see anything bigger that's the one that is currently hanging in mid air above everyone.





              Compared to one of many "Batmen" in the collection...


              I tried to make the pants look gnarly and ripped up. I did this Manbat awhile ago.

                Why not use the DCUC Man-Bat for parts?

                  I noticed Man-Bat's head is always TINY compared to the figure that its on. Huge body, little head. Weird, huh? I keep thinking I'm going to find something at Halloween to use, but I never do.

                  Owlman was kind of a pain in the next to put together. I have a feeling of "been there, done that" about the whole thing. (And I had a good head for that one!)

                    If I knew the size of the head, wings and chest I would probably order it but since I can't see what it really is I probably would be setting myself up for a big disappointment.
                    The Man-Bat I made came from a toy box filled with Batman/DC/X-Men and Marvel spare parts and figures so I knew it would work after seeing Wayne Foundation 007's figure.

                    The head is too small? Yes it is but until I find a bigger head or something else, I mainly just keep my Man-Bat segregated from the rest of the figures and have him flying from the ceiling in the corner of the room with all the Megos. He's now on a clear fishing line material (as you can see).

                    Unless you've seen BTAS or read Batman books before 1987, most people don't have a clue who Man-Bat is. So he just flaps away all by himself from the corner ceiling of the room. Very lonely world it is for him.
