Tim Drake Robin - First Custom Attempt

[exoduschj]

Hi everyone - I just got back into collecting Megos last year, mainly because of the great customs I've seen here on the Museum. Here's my first attempt at a custom. I've been a fan of the Tim Drake version of Robin, especially his costume redesign. This is an original Robin in new costume (courtesy of Doc Mego). The only thing that doesn't really fit is the "Dick Sprang" version of the head scuplt.

I really hope Mattel does the Tim Drake Robin along with the "repro" of the original Dick Grayson Robin.

I'm not completely happy with the final results, especially with my first attempts at the vest and the color mismatch with the gloves and green in the costume. I'll probably go back and try again when I get time.

Thoughts?

Are you going for a Comic book version or an BTAS version of Tim Drake? The reasons I'm asking is that, The cartoon version has black mask and gloves, and I have no idea where to get a cartoon head.
If you're going for the Comic version, I've seen some good custom male youth heads that may work. Might not be too hard to sculpt a mask on. If you don't like the painted on look.
Great job so far, I really like your belt choice.

Very nice! The suit is great! I love that belt, where is it from?

[exoduschj]

Doc Mego, of course! Its a "barbarian belt", the closest thing I could find to Tim Drake's utility belt.
