    The Greatest Story I'll ever Tell

    So, last week, I won a super Two-fer ebay auction of Lemon-Lime RM Robin and Skinny Boots RC Batman. I was psyched to win, because I always wanted an all original First Version Batman. Also really needed the Robin after I sold my last one in the spring to cover some tax burden.

    Well, shortly after I paid, I get this email from the seller...

    GOOD NEWS!- I found robins mask at the bottom of the box of dolls- will include
    I gained my composure for a second and responded, "That's Great..Thanks!!".

    So, I'm thinking...box of dolls hmmm, don't get too excited. Most likely the seller found a Lone Ranger mask, but the little kid in me was DYING to now.

    So, today, after heavy rains I run to my soaked Priority Mail Box. I immediately start ripping it open. I set both toys to the side and start searching the box for that mask....



    Nothing,



    I can't find it.




    Then, I look on the floor next to the box and notice a small manilla envelope marked "Mask".

    My heart skipped a beat as I turned it upside down.

    Well, the proof is in the pudding. And that's just what I made in my shorts when this fell out...

































    Quite possibly the most MINT Original Mask to ever grace a loose Mego RM Robin.

    I am still quite floored.

              Wow. That's amazing. You paid the price for a mask-less RMR, and got the original mask for free as a bonus. Just WOW. I'm thrilled for you. That will pump the Mego fire for a while.

                        kudos Heath,

                        That seller has everything and the sink out there. Very cool of them to note the mask and get it to you.

                        Looks like a great early pair. awesome and more awesome.
