as an adult. I did countless custom Batman figures as a youngster but as I got older, I got much more picky when it came to Batman and I'd start one and never finish it. To solve this, I thought I'd modify a Mego Batman.
I painted some black on his mask. More often than not, this is how he is shown in the comics and on Superfriends. I personally like it when his mask is a solid color like the Megos.
I made his gloves. I was originally just going to make them the same as Mego's but I never liked the way they did the "fringes" so at the last second, I cut them with 3 fringes but as you can see, they are a bit high on the glove. This is because I had already cut the size/placement to match Mego's.
I like Mego's belt so I made a mold and poured a latex belt.
Cape mine and is cut at the length it should be, It folds up around his shouldrs but I didn't get a good shot of it draped over him. Not unlike if you unfold a Super Powers Batman cape.
Bodysuit is Mego as are the boots. I plan on replacing the boots with some repro darker ones, maybe repro Klingon boots from CTVT or somewhere.
Emblem was a gift from C.Flatt.
I made this about 10 years ago now. I like him. I hope you do.
