They should have Iron Mego! Finally Batman,..added blue eyes, darkened the eye holes and lighten the lip tone.....what do you guys and gals think?????? I know Im doing this to mines,...except Joker,..He's needs NO makeover IMO.

I think that this proves, that a great sculpt will get blamed for a less than complimentary paint job.

Yep, your repaint pics totally change the game on these. I was getting them anyways but I will be making your adjustments for sure.

Riddler does look better and Robin looks MUCH better with darkened mask. I think Robin looks better with his lips left alone and Batman looks just fine as is.

Alright I'm starting to feel riddler now.He just kind of looked like an old granny before the repaint.
Blue eyes and no lipstick now that I can work with thanks for the pics to compare.

The change in the eyes is better for sure, but it's the lip color change that really makes a difference. And that's an easy fix. Thanks for the pictures.

But dammit, we shouldn't HAVE to fix figures that cost over $25 a piece!

Sorry, that's my major grumble with many of these figure lines.

I'm still pinching myself about getting 66 Batman megos. Can't wait and these FAR exceed my expectations. No complaints from this bear.

What would you use to remove the paint on the lips?

You're not 'fixing' them. You're making alterations that suit your personal tastes. To many collectors they are just fine as is.

Aren't the pics on the right the corrected rotocast heads? Those turned out fantastic. I think it was the protos that had the lipstick. I was hesitant about these till I saw those a few moments ago. That is buy or die stuff right there.

^I think someone on the board doctored the original photos with Photoshop

Amen brother.

True.

But if one was to show those pics to anyone OTHER than that "many collectors" group, they'd say the "taste altered" pics were the more accurate.

A 6-year old pre-school boy.... a 25 year old Dallas Cowboy cheerleader.... an 88 year old Arab oil sheik....after viewing the "actor dolls wearing lipstick" before and after pics, those aforementioned people would all call the repainting a "fix" despite what "many collectors" would say. Collectors tend to rationalize cut & dry flaws, ya know? That said, I think some leeway can be given on terminology used here.
