Mego of the Day: Type 2 Batman

[palitoy]

So does anybody know the connection with Batman, Starsky and Micky?

TV Detectives?

TV Detectives?

The word I was looking for was in fact, Detective.

[toys2cool]

yes!!! y first 8" super hero ever,But I think it was a type 1,I never took off the gloves or knew about type 1's or 2's when I was a kid

[starsky]

never had him as a kid, parents didnt like buying toys. took care of that lack as an adult.

Only thing I have left from my childhood Batman are the boots, and they are a bit rough at that. Still plan on replacing him someday but I don't want any reproduction parts (emblem would be my only cave-in on that) so that means I gotta pay a bit more for him, which I'm not ready to do at this time. Keep hoping I'll smoke a deal out somewhere if I'm patient. I mean, come on, they must've made a million of him so the odds are in my favor, right?
Other side of the coin is that since he's so popular, everyone else wants him too.

I love the 60s series and I would always see these Mego ads playing during after school cartoons. I got to the point that I could recite them. To me, Batman was the Adam West series, 60s and 70s Filmation, and SuperFriends on Saturday morning. This figure looks just like that. I've only recently got this figure (along w/ Robin and the Batmobile), and I've already had many happy hours of playtime w/ Zachary and Noe' and look forward to getting a Batcave and having more adventures!

guessed that yesterday in Starsky's thread....Batman kinda threw a bit of a loop into it though

[Brue]

I'd guess a lot of collections start with this figure.

Mine did

[blastphemey]

yep mine started with batman too.

My first was RC batman. MC batman was used as replacement parts for RC batman. I'd remove MC head, pop Bruce in place, and add the cowl. Voila! perfect Batman!

He and Robin were my first Megos. He'll always be my favorite for that reason.

Had the RC with stirrups as a kid with a rm Robin. I always wanted to get a new RC one when it was beginning to wear out, but I discovered that the mask was painted on the new ones
In my kid mind, I always thought "people will complain and they will go back to the old way." I never got a T2 Batman until this year
