        3. Import them to the United States.
        4. Sell them at a huge financial loss.

        You'll be bankrupt, but the community will be so happy to have some new boots.
        Nah... the community will complain that the boots aren't any good. ;-)

            It really is a nice site, the colors really pop.

            I can't wait to see what else you have in store.

                Well if you're going ahead with this I would like to wish you much luck and many sales.
                As somebody previously stated I think your best route would be accessories to start with.
                Things I'd like to see;

                Brown leather bomber jacket
                police holsters(chips) in brown,black,white and green
                handgun in a python style with short medium and long barrel
                double barreled shotgun
                Handgun colt navy arms style
                Mego size chainsaw
                Western shirts
                Viking/horned helmet
                “When you say “It’s hard”, it actually means “I’m not strong enough to fight for it”. Stop saying its hard. Think positive!”

                  Reproduction parts for the vehicles. I know the Bat labs and joker mobiles usually have the red center stand piece missing. I know the cage and arm are usually broken or missing, the boxing glove and squirting flower on the Jokermobile are usually issues... Reproduction pieces for the Wayne foundation clamps, clips, furniture, backdrops settings, as well as furniture.

                    I do have some stuff that you'll be interested in.
                    The only issue that I have is how do I make a copy of it. EXAMPLE..I found this hardly known about mego size chainsaw, but HOW DO I MAKE A COPY OF IT FROM HOME. Mode making is still new to me.
                    I've been experimenting....on THOR BOOTS IN DIFFERENT COLORS.

                      If "making" your own stuff then casting it for resale is the direction your heading.Thats just a matter of research.
                      Find some tutorials pick up some resins and go to town.It's all trial and error.When you get a recipe that works for you then start producing.
                      Be aware this is where things can start to get pricey.

                          I hear you. I'm learning myself. Just learned how to make sillicone rubber molds and pour resin casts to make custom heads. Read all you can on the web. Next, hire ($)a experienced mold maker to walk you through the steps. Internet will only give you an idea of how to approach this hobby. Any money spent hiring a pro to teach you will be far less than you will loose in buying product and learning through trial and error. These products are not cheap. Even when you know what you're doing, poor casts and waste will cost. Trial and error is for those who have money and want to learn it on their own. Those who have, may not be quick to give away their costly secrets. Hire a tutor. Save yourself some money on your education.

                              Thank you. I thought you might enjoy looking at my custom Mego, "MYSTERIO", on eBay. For his fish-bowl head I just used "mighty-puddy". I know you guys don't think much of that clay, but it does work well and dries superfast. I've use that clay to make masks, hair, even ears on resin heads.
                              I only recommend it for little jobs. Remember, I'm still learning.
                              Oh, custom mego Zatana already sold. I don't think you can see her.
