    New Mego BATMAN MODS

    I like the new Mego Batman, but had some issues with him. (1.) He didn't stand up very well...and he looked bowlegged. So, I determined that part of the problem was the crotch area on him was way wider than an original Mego. (2.) I thought the boots might also be part of the reason he couldn't stand very well, without falling over backwards.

    Solution: Original Mego Pelvis, and FTC legs with Peg & Boots system. And Now I'm happy with him.

      Very nice. I have not even opened mine yet, so I may steel your method. Very impressed.

        Yes, if yours stands as poorly as mine did...you might feel compelled to fix him like I did.

          Nice! I don't think I've seen a mod using the FTC plug hero boots. The Mego boots are a soft plastic that is not very sturdy and make some of the figures hard to stand.

          I may have to give this a try on my deconstructed Batman.

            I haven't had a lot of luck with the new rubber Mego boots. It takes a real stiff ankle joint to hold a pose, otherwise the boot forces the angle of the leg to be off slightly.

            I really like the look of the FTC plug boots, but I have not been able to let go of my need for my Megos to have removable boots.

              Now get cracking on a frankensteined Female Mego body. Probably will be a looooonnnnnnngggggg time before we see anything from Mego on the "new" female body. Looks GREAT Dane. Keep up the great work.

                  Thanks guys. Yeah, I totally understand the Mego purist line of thought on the boots...but I own more than one of these figures. I think I'll pick up a pair of the "black" Mego boots for one of my other Batman Megos...see if he stands up better.
