      Some of the figures were Dave LePage customs (the POTA and the Halloween ones)...I did the cards years ago. I think Dave might have done some of the others too like Fulci's Zombie, Night of the Living Dead, Brain That Wouldn't Die (but I didn't do the cards for those so I'm not 100% sure).

      The 12" Batman that is listed as being from Playing Mantis is really just a PM Captain Action body with custom outift and accessories from one of the CA repro guys.

      Maybe the lister is just confused as to the source of the figures. Read the description on the Michael Myers card...he states it's a custom card designed by me, and yet states at the same time that the figure came from Mego ("exclusively manufactured")...I dunno...Weird.

        Really? Playing Mantis didn't make a TV Batman in 1998?

        Some guy on ebay is trying to pass off customs he bought as
        legitimate production items? This is why I stopped making
        customs for people. Some clown put an Andorian I made years
        and years ago on ebay and called it a prototype for the DST/EMCE
        Star Treks.

            Those Tool-Dip gloves on the Batmen look terrible.

                Yeah, that doesn't looks right. That looks kinda like boxing gloves to me.

                  The Halloween figure isn't even on a Mego body. Looks like a blow molded knockoff.

                      I made all the 8" figures apart from the ones clearly marked cast-away toys. I made most of the cards and Anthony made the rest.
                      The seller just buys storage units and knows nothing about Mego. I set them straight but if they change the listing or not is yet to be seen.

                      Mike Myers was on a Paco body.
