Nice kit bash on the Two-Face and the Riddler shoes. I still think Two-Face on that cover looks like Lyle Waggoner. He doesn't inside, but...

its a Matty head repainted with my own custom made suit. Modeled after this cover:

I checked Riddler's shoes and altered some robin shoes to get the look of the slippers he wore:


And made a 66 style Two Face.

Speaking of alterations,..I altered the Jokers jacket to stay opened, rearrange his buttons to make him more screen accurate (wish buttons were sold a lot smaller), Painted Riddlers shoes green and repainted his lips to make him look more like Gorshin:

Mego did two sizes of Fat male torsos. A short one used on Mxyz and Penguin, and a taller one used on the Wizard of Oz. Original India production fat male torsos are the shorter scale. New China productions are the taller ones. I discovered this when I made my custom Doc Ock. I didn't like how short he was with the CTVT/India fat torso body. Purchased original Mego Wizard body.

I don't have a type 1 fat body in front of me right now, but I recall it being somewhat shorter than a type 2.

don't have one either, I am going to work with CTVT parts and see what I can do

You're correct T-Bolt:

West was 6'2"; Meredith was 5'6" and wearing an (extremely likely) 8" top-hat---so they are about even in costume.

Would you shorten the fat-body thighs & calves somehow & resection? TT legs, adapted?

It occurs to me that a fat-body is shorter than a T2, & FTC copies of both smaller still. Maybe you could put West on a T2/TS and Buzz on a hybrid FTC?

BBP has a Ventura Bros Villain with a smoking jacket just like Bruce Wayne.

Who from the Venture Bros has the jacket? I hope you aren't calling Dr. Orpheus a villain! He is a good guy! He's the head of the Order Of The Triad! He's saved the Venture family on several occasions. Villain, indeed! He is a "Protagonist", not an "Antagonist".

Going to mess around with teen or kid legs on the fat body. I think I have parts around here to do that. Or just swap him out to a teen body with padding and adult arms.

It would work well IMO, I have it for an Invisible Man custom & it's very nice.

I was thinking of putting gray trousers on my Wayne; I've already added an ascot.

These are great ideas.

I'm wondering about replacing the Kiss shoes entirely and adding "real" vinyl spats.

that would be a start, but Pengy needs to be shorter than Bats. the top of his hat should be about as tall as Batman.
