    Neal Adams JOKER

    So, I bought the FTC Joker because I loved the head sculpt and it reminded me of Neal Adams Era Batman. But I absolutely HATED the skinny body. When it came in the mail and realized the neck plug was way too small to fit a Mego(or Repro)...I thought up a solution. I bought a new Mego Red Phantom because I knew it I could remove the neck peg, and cut the neck hole tom the size I needed it to be. So, a Batman 66 Joker suit later and here's the end result.

        Good call! Now that the hard work is done of getting him onto a Mego style body....I can continue to mess with him. I was also thinking about the FTC long purple Trench coat.

                That is a nice combination.

                  Looks good!... But doesn't that Joker come with a long Purple Trench coat and Hat? Or did you want a darker coat?

                  And question... is Mego Red Phantom on a white body? I would love to move my Metamorpho to a Mego body.

                    Yes, he did come with a light purple Trench coat...but it was tailored to fit the FTC skinny body. I might buy the dark purple one FTC has.

                    And the Red Phanton does have a white body, except for the red Star Trek boot feet. So I borrowed the legs from a Doc Mego white body. I've also thought about putting my Metamorpho on a Doc Mego white body...but I don't think the costume would fit.

                      Thanks! Yep, I forgot about the red Star Trek boots on the Phantom.

                        Pennywise is also a good source for a white body. And the Clown Prince of Crime does look so much better here; nice job.

                          Really nice. I forgot FTC made this head sculpt. It's SO good.

                          Does the new Mego Joker not have a white body? Seems like that might be a good way to swap over.

                            Duh! Yeah, that would work too, if he does.
