      Yea, that was what i was told when I inquired about their belts. I didnt understand that either. The response was basically "We wont be able to do that with these figures"

      I still say wait and see on this though.

        Back in the days of Christmas catalogs, they always called it Evel's 'Swagger Stick'. Here's Evel and his 'Swagger Stick' in the 1973 Aldens catalog.

            Thank you, sir. I've heard a lot of different names for someone's junk, but "Swagger Stick" is hard to beat, pun intentional.

              On one hand, it sounds like total bs and they want people buying complete figures to finish original Megos. But OTO, Batman's utility belt is a trademark of the character and since Riddler's belt is just Bat's in purple...

              I can see things like Robin's tunic not being available as one multi-colored piece, but a separate tunic with different or solid color could be.

                Pictures have been loaded and no, the molded gloves are not the TV Batman/Robin gloves but rather Evel Knievel's... Bummer!

                      Would work well with a He-man custom.

                          The black jumpsuit has a real Elvis vibe to it.

                            wonder if they are using the Evel gloves for the 66 line villains. That purple looks like the right shade for Cesar Romero. And that grey sure would work for the Mad Hatter.

                                I was thinking of the Kingpen when I saw that walking cane.
