    Ideas for Robin outfit.

    I have searched to the best I can and failed to find anything to use as replacement for 8 inch Robin red vest with green short sleaves. If there is nothing available, could someone please just let me know?

    Doc Mego sells one, but it's not on his site. Just email him about it.

      I used one from a retro looking hasbro robin. I just used a razor to cut the threads (as they are were sewn on) and it fit the mego body great! The robin Im talking about came with a retro style batman as well. They were both the infamous 9 inch size but the uniform worked well for my purposes.

        Thanks, I owned that two pack years ago. Must have sold it at some toy show. Very helpful information.

                  Hey Tom that Robin is Awesome!!! Cyclops, Doc has what you need if you want your Robin to be just like the original Mego, I used an original mego Robin tinic but cut out the green sleeves and used a DM red bodysuit underneath and used red superman boots and made him red Robin.

                    Brian Leitner could fix you, too.

                          The legendary Brian Leitner is Bleit1701 on the MM Forum.

                          Since he has created prototype clothing for EMCE (including Mattel Retros and the upcoming Mirror Trek's), you won't get anything more authentic than his stuff. He also did all the Pulsar outfits for this year's Mego Meet customs, and is a heck of a nice fella.

                          While you're at it, get a custom Batman suit from him, and top it off with a non removable mask Batman head from Crimson Ghost.

                              You can't go wrong with a Leitner suit! I have a few and they are top notch. That Crimson Ghost Batman head is stunning! That is the perfect Batman head IMHO. (I need one!! PM sent)
