    The best custom Batman & Robin Megos?

    Okay , so being new to this hobby, and being a Batman fan I was hoping to get a general consensus to a question that's probably already been asked:

    Is there a custom mego Batman (and Robin) action figure that is considered the definitive ("best") versions out there?

    Is there a customizer that has nailed Batman and Robin perfectly and has set the standard for others to follow?

    If so, please posts photos because I'm trying to get some ideas for my own attempt at a custom Batman and Robin.

    Thanks!

    All Depends What "Era" & Style your Looking for I suppose....
    I don't think "Best" can really be said,.. the Idea of Best,.. is in the eye of the Beholder,.. & is only really an Opinion,.. & Nothing More.
    I am Taking this as a Showcase Type of Thread,.. so Here's Mine.

    Jim Lee Batman }



    Tim Drake Robin 1st Appearance }




    Disco Nightwing }



    Tim Drake Robin, 2nd Suit }

      Holy smoke, BlackKnight (pardon the pun!)

      Those are some incredible Batman and Robin figures!

      if you are not the one who has set the custom mego Batman standard, then i can't imagine who is!! Superb work!

      I really love your Time Drake 1st appearance Robin. Is that figure made on a standard 8 inch body? Somehow it seems shorter than Batman (which would be way cool)

      I also love how you make the hair highlighted in blue just like in the comics. I've never seen that before. And your pictures are great too!

      I know what you mean about "best' being subjective, but you are being far too modest. Alright then, let's turn this into a custom Mego Batman and Robin showcase thread.

      Does anybody else have pictures they'd like to post?

          Totally agree with BK...the term "best" is subjective. It's a matter of preference of style.

              I've ben collecting and customizing and around the community for a long time. I've seen 100s of custom Batman figures, including my own and this is by far my favorite. Just not a fan of cloth/spandex boots but otherwise this is as close to perfect as I've seen. Love it BK!!!!!!

                      I agree that it is hard to find a difinitive best and that it depends on style/era preference.

                      That said - keep the pics of you favorite Batmans coming - I love 'em.

                          Wow. These are some incredible custom Mego Batman figures, everybody!

                          I guess Batman is one of the most popular characters to customize.

                          I had heard there were some talented customizers here, but I had no idea the quality would be this high!

                          Some of you seem to have made custom Batmans with more muscular bodies! Did you actually make the bodies from scratch? That's unbelieveable!


                          Boss and Megospidey I really love your Batmans. Nice head sculpts and costumes. I love your leathery style of boots. They look great!
