Hello everyone, it's been awhile since I posted, but still lurk and have mostly been hanging around Facebook groups such as the one run by Brian.
I hope the admins don't mind me making this request.
I've taken on a bit of a side collecting interest for my youngest son who is six. When he was in daycare, he came home one day and told me he wanted to be Batman. Such fond memories of him wearing superhero costumes around the house for the next few years. I'd always collected comics, and even comic art, but had always centered my interests around Marvel. And I'd kind of hope he grow out of it and start enjoying Marvel characters like his dad , but as he's continued to maintain an interest in all things Batman, I thought to build him a collection of Batman toys and figures, and it's something we've been doing together for a few years now.
I have accumulated over a dozen different preproduction pieces over the years, and am trying to round out one more piece for a custom display I'm planning to surprise him with. The display is themed around preproduction Batman figures, and the one era I'm lacking is a 70's Batman prototype. With Mego playing such a huge part in defining the action figure toy market during this period, I wanted something Batman related in the display and I was hoping it could be something Mego related.
I'd be happy with anything Batman related, but my first choice would be a pocket super heroes prototype due to the size of the figures being better suited for the size of the display. So a first shot, test shot, mold purge, etc. Of course if anyone has anything even rarer like a hard copy or wax, I'd be open to it as well.
I know a few clay heads popped-up on Heritage, but truthfully, I had really only thought to do it from the 80's and onward, but lucked into a mid-60's era prototype quite recently, and so I've had to dial back my timleine range to include something from the 70's.
I realize many of you are probably on Facebook, and anyone who might be able to help with this request could certainly reach me here if needed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
