    A couple minor improvements...

    Too bad Mego didn't spring for a couple more paint apps for Batman back in the day...a little black paint takes him from good to wow!
    Also, the Joker looks much better with his trademark purple gloves courtesy of a quick Riddler hand swap.

    Aww, you've sold out to Alex Toth over Neal Adams!

    Seriously, they look great. Aren't hand swaps fun--a lot of my Megos feature them.

      Wow! That Batman looks pre-CISE! Can you post a close up? How did you apply the paints, and what kind?

          Dwayne - that is exactly how they thought Batman's final design would appear.

          When you take the Batman concept art with its black shaded forehead and look at the Batman '66 design, you can see how they were trying to mix-n-match the two.

          Excellent job.

            Yeah, years ago I painted mine with the black shadows. It looks even better if the eyes are all white.

                    Nice work! Even as a kid it puzzled me why Cap got a forehead shadow (which he sometimes had, but not always) and Batman did not (which he almost ALWAYS did).

                        They look much better, mego should have given the Joker purple hands and the Riddler green hands.

                          But except for when Gorshin wore his 3-piece suit, the Riddler has worn purple gloves.

                            That is one incredible adjustment! I love it. Great job.
                            If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.
