2010: My middle son Thomas, had just started collecting Action Figures, a couple of years ago, and one of his favorites was his Retro Action ( Mattel) Batman.
Until his baby brother got a hold of it, & sadly, it was in pieces with only the suit, cape and boots surviving the (playtime) of a destructive four year old.
So I gathered the parts that were left, and held onto them.
FF to just last month and I won an ebay auction for a Batcyle with an OEM Type 2 Mego Batman, with a decent head, and belt.
So it dawned on me, to try and make right what had befallen his beloved Caped Crusader, so here is a kitbash of what I put together.
Body and Head: OEM Type 2 Batman
Hands: Blue Gloved hands from FTC
Suit, Cape, Boots from his destroyed Retro Action Batman
Belt: OEM Mego Batman Belt
Emblem: cut from one of the Target Justice League Sticker sets you can find in the Sticker/ Hobby aisle

I'm glad I was off today, otherwise I wouldn't have had time.
But I did, and Got it done just in time for Xmas and to go in his stocking!
