        This is just breathtaking work. First your Batman stage costumes, then this... your talent is inspiring. Would love to see pics with figures in it!

            Whoa! The only thing more stunning than Roberto resurrecting the Batmobile thread is Thomas returning from the dead! This is amazing!

                  I just got a Mego Batmobile on Ebay...then I found this thread.

                  I think I'd rather have one of these : )

                  Maybe a Kickstarter could help fund actually producing these guys!

                    Well I thought of that. But there is just too much legal red tape tied up in mass producing something like this... even crowd funded. Ive been at this project for YEARS, and it would break my heart to have it derailed by legal action against me. Im just a customizer like you guys, trying to get my artistic efforts realized.

                    I came to the conclusion long ago that it was best to stay as low profile as possible and avoid as much "official" attention as I can.

                    I will eventually make this Batmobile available (as a kit) in the MEGO customizer community, but Im afraid it will have to be as an extremely limited number release (possibly no more than 10 kits or so)... the same way custom figures are produced and sold within the community.

                      it will be a piece of art, that's certain!
