      They look good, the Mego boots look better. Now they all have good posture, that helps too.

        Seriously. I didn't warm to the prototype head so much, but the production model is great.

              I'm much more sold on Batman now that I've seen a body transplant. A ZICA body would look even better. (Without superpowers, Batman must rely on maximum physical muscular development!)

              How difficult is it to get the costumes off these without destroying the bat-emblem?

                What's with the belts being glued--don't Bats & Manta have clasps on their molded belts?

                  ^^

                  If I were to hazard a guess, I would say it has something to do with the belts being possible choking hazards? the glue/pin may be a way to get around the situation. GA was sold through Matty, so he may have been immune to the rule, and the others had sewn on belts in the first batch.

                    No, it looked to be a way to insure the belt did not fall off the figure in transit. both precautions are removed easy enough, without effort. the belts work just like standard mego belts.

                      ^Good point, thanks.

                      I wish, though, that they had given Manta a weapon in lieu of the belt & boots.

                        Hey guys,....I'm sold on the cowl now. It really works well to create that Neal addams Batman/Bruce wayne look. For the 411,.....See the finish custom area.

                          Hey Guys...I have stress the importance of being careful removing the Mattel Heads. Yesterday I was removing my 2nd Sinestro's Head(taking my time and being careful)but I still managed to rip the Neckplug.

                          Next time I intend to only pull the Head off only far enough, to see the Pin...and then cut the Pin with my electric Exacto Knife.

                                Thanks Man, I don't want to rip anymore Heads...it's the only reason I bought a 2nd Sinestro(plus the Hands). I'd just as soon crush the Bodies...as I'm going to throw them away anyways.
