    Batman Year 1963



    I took the best parts of my last two Batmen: Belt, shorts cape and gloves from the last one and the cowl, boots and grappler gun from the one before and merged them with the blue batsuit I've been wanting to try. Gave him a 66 Bat-Emblem without the yellow circle and added some detail to the cowl to give the figure more of a what if Year One Adam West style Batman. Maybe he's the guy that dealt with the monsters of Gotham like Croc, Bane and Clayface before the tv show picked up on his dealing with costumed clowns like the Riddler and Penguin. I've been trying to figure out Bats if he was either created in the silver age or rebooted like Flash or GL, maybe this is it.




    cowl detail

          Beautiful! I love to contrast between the colors and really like to the cape and cowl set up.

                  Man he's Batman goodness. I' love it! All the detail and the equipment too. I'd love to see you do a Gotham by Gaslight figure.

                      Wow, that cowl is just too much. Do you use any kind of pattern for those masks that you make? I'd love to give that a try sometime. Man, that is nice. I like the blue, but I shiver at the thought of you cannibalizing your past figures. I really like that your figures have thoughtful concepts driving them. I feel like it really shows through in the finished product.

                          yeah, I have a pattern that I keep tweeking, the pleather mask part is sepperate and glued onto the hood shaped fabric.

                              Gotta be honest: I'm not completely sold on the blue outfit, but I love everything else about him. His utility belt is way cool and so is his cowl

                                          Luv that real world take on a classic character. Great job! I look forward to more.
                                          If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.
