    Grammercyplace's Silver age Batman Customs

    In my inbox this morning:

    He did a wonderful job!!
    This last pic makes me think that had FTC just cast (recast) the KidBiz Batman head and painted it right, we would have gotten a great Aparo Batman!
    I also think the Infantino head would make a great Filmation Batman custom.

        That's awesome. It looks like the Ideal Batman costume turned into a figure!

          I think it’s pretty unanimous that the CrimsonGhost’s sculpts are the some of the best (imo the very best) in terms of accurately translating the comic book vision into Mego dimensions. I thought the sculpt was far too amazing for my modest painting skills, and I rightfully entrusted it to the superior paints of Mishu2nite. The results speak on their own behalf!

            Great use of FTC parts, too--are those JLA Batman suits?

                Yes! Good eye! Except on the Infantino custom he’s sporting bits from the FTC “Adams” Batman that I distilled for parts.

                  Good to know, thanks. I was using parts from SF Batman for the (darker) royal blue, along with a Mattel cape.

                    nice work. Would be great to get something like this from FTC.

                            That came out fantastic. I piece to enjoy for a long time. That was a great a sculpt and the way you put everything together was perfect. Great choice of packaging style too.
