1966 Batman and Robin: done to death, but...

[mikeoz]

This project began after trying to figure out what to do with all my extra Doc Mego and CTVT parts. I had an extra CTVT Fonzie body and noticed that it was about 1/2" larger than the standard CTVT male body. I used the size difference to give Batman a taller stature - especially when compared to Robin. I tried to keep the style as Mego-like as possible, yet still capture the likeness of the actors. I was pleasantly surprised how well the head worked out.

[fallensaviour]

Wow!!!
Very neato,I love those figs.And I know that this is gonna sound weird but Robins legs look so smooth and real!?!?!?Nice fabric choice. :wink:

[Dave Mc]

Nice and clean! The scale is spot on and the gloves are a really nice touch. The Batman color is more Superfriends than the TV show navy (almost purple looking) shade of blue, but it still works really well.

[MegoScott]

I was thinking I liked the bright Batman blue, yeah. Looks great.

[thunderbolt]

Cool. Like Meule said, never have too many.

[Cosmicman]

Thanks! I used Scribbles fabric paint from Wal-Mart. I like it because it's flexible.


Nice customs! What did you use for the heads? Custom sculpts?

I haven't tried custom sculpts yet. I used a modified John Boy Walton head for Batman and a CTVT Richie Cunningham head for Robin.

Yeah, the gloves are from Classic Plastick. He has some really cool stuff for 8" customs and he's awesome to work with.

Indeed. I don't think I have met a guy much nicer then him to work with over the Internet. I have much more stuff to order from him. His gloves are the mego "fix" to those horrible oven mits they gave Batman and Robin. I could never get past those things. They suck.

[megowgsh]

Simply wonderful.

Awesome job!!!!!!!!!

[mego boy CA]

yeah! :hokay: i totally dig these guys! i'm a big fan of the show!

[kingdom warrior]

Wow that is awesome indeed! Great Job!!!!

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I like Batman's cowl. They look great.

[QDOGG]

Those came out really nice. The 60's Bat-Man show, even though campy was still cool! Are those gloves from Classic Plastick? I dig Wes' stuff!

[Airdave817]

Wicked cool!

[K]

Very Mego-ey! Wonderful! Great job!
