    Article on Earth-Two Robin customs over at 13th Dimension



    I shared my old Earth-Two Robin customs over on the Earth-Two Robin facebook group, and 13th Dimension maven Dan Greenfield saw them and asked me to write an article about them. Since I feel the customs are fine, but not nearly up to the level of some of the other artisans here, I weaved in my love for the grown-up, Ex-Boy Wonder into the piece. I gave a shout out to the museum, and all the folks who provided parts and inspiration along the way. At least I hope I got everyone. If I left anyone out, I apologize! My mind is like a steel sieve.

    Why hasn’t Mego — or any company — given us the grown-up Dick Grayson we’ve wanted for all these years…?

      I have customs of these two Robins as well... In fact, the need for an Earth 2 Robin is what prompted my interest in custom Mego figures to begin with, and I haven't looked back since.

        Great article Chris! Lots of fun comic history, Mego history, and personal history coming together there. Not to mention, your customs are a ton of fun.

        Hopefully this article inspires someone to create their own custom Mego!

          I had my own customs for these two Robins and will have to do them again as I'm working on my JSA team right now. But it all comes down to what characters brian makes suits for and if i win the auction. Coming up next is a Teen sized Atom and to finish my Hourman i need to make his hourglass for around his neck.

            Those are GREAT! I love the Earth-2 Robin in the Gray suit. I have always liked that look.
