    The Music Meister -- from Batman: The Brave and the Bold animated series 2009

    Simply stated, the "Mayhem of the Music Meister" is the single, greatest animated super-hero cartoon ever produced. EVER PRODUCED!!!!

    It is an episode of the Batman: The Brave and the Bold animated series. The episode features the villainous Music Meister (voiced by Neil Patrick Harris), who uses his power to control people through song to try to take over the world. Written by Mike Jelenic and directed by Ben Jones, the episode premiered on October 23, 2009, the 24th of the first season.

    From the very first note I realized I was in for something special. From the entire script being set to music to the 14 different costume changes by the Music Meister to the love quadrangle between MM, Batman, Black Canary, and Green Arrow to the first-ever animated versions
    of dozens of Batman villains from the 1966 Adam West live-action show to the dulcet baritone of Aquaman, this episode fulfilled every promise of what a super-hero cartoon could be.

    My favorite number is "Drive Me Bats".

    Here is an image of the Music Meister in the costume he wore the most during the episode and the first version of him I chose to make:



    And here he is in Mego form in the same pose:



    He is built on an original Mego Type 2 body with purple hands from CTVT; head is an FTC Richie Cunningham head modified with the glasses; shoes and hat from CTVT; suit from the amazing Hawkmike; coat buttons from the incredible pmwasson/LaserMego; and the Music Meister wand from the fabulous Todd Mello/Fanmade.



    Under the spell of the Music Meister!



    This custom is just the beginning of my Music Meister undertaking. According to my calculations, he had no fewer than 14 costume changes in this episode and I plan on making each and every one along with a playset of the TBTB night club stage where he held Batman and Black Canary hostage. I believe this project could take the better part of a year to complete but I wanted to give you just a little taste of what I have in the works. Wish me luck!

    I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do, and, as always, thanks for looking!

    Peace, Love, and Megos!

    Austin

          I agree it is one of the best cartoons ever made. One of my daughter's favorite. Pure Mego-customs genius!!! Can't wait to see what is next for this project. Now I have " He's the Music Meister!!! And he's here to set the score!!" Stuck in my head!!
          Don't be sorry. How would you know? You've been watching MTV all your life.

              When Austin first told me about 5 months ago that he was going to do this character, I thought he had flipped his lid.

              Now I am sure of it!

              Love the purple coat and the music note buttons.

              His zoot suit (which is what this is) needs his gold pocket chain. Nice use of the Richie Cunningham. I kept looking at it wondering whose face was under there.

                      I'm pleased to see so many fans of this here--I'd assumed (my mistake) that the show's combination of musical theatre and superheroes would be seen as frivolous. I'm a great fan of the show, its tone & music, and NPH.
