    Another Man-Bat

    Somebody on here gave me an idea how to make a fast Man-Bat for the collection.
    You basically take a Batman the Animated Series Man-Bat figure, cut the figure in half and use the waste on up (torso, arms, wing, head) and then surgically implant it on a set of Mego legs and instant Man-Bat.

    I decided to paint mine gray. I wanted to give Man-Bat an early gray look to him. I lightly applied the gray paint so that I could second coat shine the dark brown that was underneath to give him a 3D illusion of his bat-like fur body without actually putting fur on (Which I am thinking about doing).

    I also removed the feet and made my own set of "bat feet" for the figure. Having a normal set of mego feet didn't look right.

    Instant "Man-Bat". I want to thank whoever gave me the idea. Please chime in. I am really bad with names and I don't want to sort through a million threads.





    Taking on my version of the Dark Knight. Gloves are a Classic Plastick Production if you'd like a pair. Just contact Wes.

    Nice work transplanting that torso to Mego legs. You know what feet would look even better on this: John's werewolf feet
    And someone here (Laurie maybe?) has a hairy werewolf torso, maybe you could transplant the arms and wings to that and make Man-Bat look even better... just a thought

            Right! That is what I was thinking. Something quick and fast to throw together to play with for the kid.
            I am still debating on touching him up with fur. I think the head is too small. By the time I get done with him, I'll have replaced the whole thing.
