    The Man-Bat has arrived!





















    The Man-Bat has arrived today and I have to say that he looks good in hand.

    His head sculpt is excellent, one of my favorites from FTC. The hulk body is good and tight, and easily supports the weight of his suit and wings. This guy is fun to pose--if I had this one as a kid he easily would have been my favorite.

    I've included a pic of how the head will look on a smaller body as well as a pic with another figure to give a sense of scale.

    I hope you enjoy the pics---I'm just happy to be living in a world where a Mego styled Man-Bat exists!

        Just what I was hoping to see. Looks better with wings spread.

            He's not bad...I do wish they'd been a little more subtle with the screen printing on the body suit. The wings look pretty cool though, and I love the head sculpt.

            I'm still waiting for Swamp Thing with my fingers crossed.

              OK, he looks a lot better than I feared. As enyawd above said, wish they'd put a little more effort into the chest detailing, but the overall figure looks decent once the wings are out. Thanks for the great pics!

                great figure from the neck up. If the head ever gets parted out I'll do a custom. Drawn on muscles and that big body don't work for me. The pic on the regular body looks better. It might really work on a EMCE Wolfman body with the monster hands and feet.

                    Not sure if anybody noticed, but he comes with one open hand and one fist.

                      Looks really fun. Thanks for the photos! Nice to see him out of the package and in action. Do the wings have a wire in them to hold different positions?

                        Nice! Looks like good, cheesy fun, which is what I want from Mego-style figures!

                        Thanks for posting! My order of Man-Bat and five other new figures is out for delivery today.

                            So what's the bodysuit weight? Are the wings really thick?

                              Not bad, but still a bit of a strange interpretation. The head is clearly the Bronze Age take, but he's got the post-BTAS monstrous huge body. Not crazy about the overly-simplified drawn-on musculature, but the overall figure is pretty nice. The head is fantastic!
