    "What are you?" "I'm Batman."

    Inspired by BATMAN89's avatar photo I choose to do the Troika/Burton version for my very first Bat-custom. Along the way I found my 4" Toy Biz Batman figure to use as a reference.

    He is comprised of:
    Head - Matt "Next 2 Last Mohican" Mejia sculpt with my paints.
    Body - FTC Hero body
    Bodysuit, Chest Emblem, Cape and Belt - A "kit" I bought from MrMego on eBay.
    Gloves - FTC Hero Winged Gloves
    Boots - FTC Hero Boots

    Thank you to all who stop by and give him a look.

    Enjoy!

    John

    Great job!!!
    Does he have diffaculty standing? Not fond of the FTC bodies with the snap on boots ever since I bought my 66 Batman and Robin and have to pick them up off the floor once or twice a week.

            Thanks.

            So far, so good. He stood for the entire photo shoot without any issues, I even bumped the table a couple times and he held his ground. Shortly after the shoot I put him on the shelf with Supes and The Flash and he his still standing. I will keep an eye on him though.

                          I know right? My suspicion is that cape is a CTVT cape, I will look into either finding a longer cape or making one in 2015.

                          Thanks, let me know if you want it, I will send it to you. That goes for anyone else, if you see a backdrop that I am using and want it for your use just let me know, I will be happy to share with everyone.

                          Thank you sir. Of all the versions of Batman this one is my personal favorite, the splashes of yellow really pop on the black costume.
