    Boy, that would be swell! When is Mego Meet in 2015? In the two years past, it keeps conflicting with the Niagara Falls Comic Con I like to attend.
    It hasn't been announced yet. Brue already has a Robin costume; I'm sure he could do a great Riddler or Joker to go with the van.
    WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

        That Batman costume Looks Awesome! Great family pics! What are the boots made of? And where did you get them? Are any elements of your costume from the official 66 version that can be purchased on Amazon?
        I post in thy general direction!

          Thank you! The boots are custom made leather from Duran in Los Angeles. http://www.duranshoesla.com/pricelist.html

          None of it is from the Rubies costume. I've seen in hand pics of the Rubies, and they look nothing like the stock photo Rubies advertises with.

          The cowl is from Mattel. Cape and trunks are made by Williams Studio 2. Belt by CY Productions. Gloves by Gaspar Gloves. Tights are Onstage Dancewear.


          It's a deceptively simple looking costume. To get the details just so, I had to spend quite a bit, probably as much as I did on my screen accurate Darth Vader costume. Took me two years and a lot of ebaying to put it together. It could be done more cheaply, especially if you can sew yourself. But I can't.

          The Batgirl Costume is the Rubies. But the Mrs. was only planning on wearing it the one time, much to my dismay.
