    To the Bat customs Robin (and don't forget Green Hornet)

    Again let me make this clear that I ONLY DID THE BOXES. Martin Gainsford did the customs and the newest are Catwoman, Penguin and Green Hornet.

    That is a nice complete looking series. Fine work all around.

        Hi mego73---let me begin by saying the Hornet is cool
        but I'm absolutely in love with your 7 figures remaining in the set there.

        They are the perfect compliment to childhood memories of the show.

        I don't know what else to say except that I'd be psyched to see a GORDON
        ALFRED and O'HARA in that style---I know they are not as flashy, but, wow,
        what a core set that'd make.

        Kudos on such an inspiring set.

          Thanks but I must make sure again, that people know I only made the boxes. And the boxes were also Martin's idea right down to the use of the TV Batman font for the lettering on the villians. I love his idea of having me make an "Official United Underworld Villians" banner much like the WGSH logo for the Villains.

          The biggest challenge was making good full length pictures of all of them. Most of the time they are composites. For instance, Penguin is made up of a black and white almost full length shot (I had to build some of his feet). The head comes from a DVD capture of the movie trailer and the tie and inside the coat area is a capture from the film to use to cover up the black and white details on the picture.

              Cool stuff, thanks for sharing. Is this Martin guy a member here? I'd be realllly interested in that Penguin head.

                    Absolutely amazing!!! That's one of the best GH's I've seen, and of course I love the Penguin.

                    (I should point out, though, that his trousers in the show are dark gray pinstriped, not black.)

                    Mike, I love the way you captuered the show's title font for the box logos--just ties it all together beautifully. Kudos--I can see why you're Customizer of the Month.

                    Does Martin Gainsford have a site/custom contact?

                          Very cool! Great job on the boxes and figures. I particularly like The Green
                          Hornet.
