    Batman 2020

    Even though the closest Meijer is 2000 miles away, I received all 3 of the DC Super Heroes off of eBay, for a not-too-bad buy it now auction. The seller noted the cards were dinged up, which I didn't mind as I was planning to open them.

    Here is the Batman card front:


    and back:


    So lets rip him open:


    He comes with a Batarang:


    The boots are a reproduction of the Mego hero boots, but made with a thin rubbery material. Unfortunately, it does make him a little wobblily. I think a harder plastic would help with having him stand unassisted.



    The belt has lots of pouches, but the molding seems to be a little inconsistent so some of the flaps look better than others:


    He has an all black body, which is great for customs. The head is molded in black plastic with a painted face. The sculpt is very sharp by the talented Andy Covalt:


    The copyright info is printed with a contrasting ink, so it is very easy to read:


    The suit is printed, with sewed in flares for the gloves. It uses a micro-Velcro closure which works well.

    Overall, I'm very happy with him. I'd love to buy a bunch more for the black body and nice head sculpt for customs, but I'm not sure how easy it will be for me to find more.

          Thanks for sharing the info, I especially like seeing the all black body, definitely good for customs.

            I should probably track this Batman down as a gift for my boyfriend.

              Looks good, wish his ears were a bit taller but otherwise very nice.

              Unfortunately none of the Meijers around here have Mego out yet or even pegs for them. That's concerning considering how many there are and the fact that this is a major US market. Walmarts around here did not get Mego either... Very odd.

              But I'm hopeful this is just a delay and not a trend.
