    FTC RC Batman

    I just bought double sealed FTC RC Batman and RM Robin from Joe R. in a few years ago. I opened one Batman, and its cowl is pretty hard vinyl than vintage, but it's good. I remembered I saw Paul Clarke's repro items in New York at Pennsylvania Hotel in 2004. Is his repro cowl softer as vintage cowl? I can't remember how soft it is, it's been 16 years ago!

      Yep....Doc Megos Batman Blue Cowl is soft, as opposed to the FTC...that looks similar, but it's a bit harder plastic/rubber.

          The FTC cowl is more like a helmet. It has it's uses, but I went with the Doc Mego cowl for my repro RC Batman.

              I used the Doc Mego one as well for my FTC BATMAN(much better!). I think Doc still sells them, he just doesn't list them on his site.

                  Doc's cowl is nice--soft vinyl.

                          Does Doc Mego still sell repro parts? I have never liked the FTC cowl, I don't know why I never thought of getting a DM cowl. Drmego.com seems to be no longer operational.

                                  That brings up a "Site under development" page. Not a pressing issue anyway, and besides...I'm sure he has his hands full with the new Mego stuff, which is a good thing.

                                                      Same mold, I believe. IIRC, he carries/carried black, blue, and red factory versions in vinyl.

                                                      The listing note may also refer to custom resin colors.
