And again, do you work just in that scale? Or do you have other scale works? Curious. Your finishes and details really make the figures work.
Also, that may be one of the most successful custom Robins I have ever seen. I keep coming back to him. You did something really cool with him. Now to figure out what, so I can make me a cool 1940 style one for my set too!
Believe me. I'm the one whose blushing... receiving praise for my custom work from non other than the "Les-man" himself. I've followed your work for years, and in my view you're one of the very best customizers this hobby has ever seen. You set the standard that a lot of us try to follow in our own work. Seriously.
My custom Robin The Boy Wonder does seem to have struck a chord with quite a few people, and that tickles me to no end. I really enjoyed making that little guy. And honestly speaking, HE was a big inspiration for me to invent my style of custom gloves when I did. I just could not bear to see him wearing those awful MEGO vinyl oven mitts. When I was successful with my glove experiments on Robin, it was then I employed what I had learned on everyone else (Batman, Joker, Penguin, Riddler, et al...)
As to my custom works in other scales: My other major foray into action figure customizing is the 3-3/4 inch scale STAR WARS customs I created some time ago. Photos of some of them are posted in this thread along with the pics of my STAR WARS toy collection.
Thanks, Hollis. Thanks a million. I'm gratified that you dig 'em.

MEANWHILE, AT STATELY WAYNE MANOR...
Earlier on, I mentioned my upcoming “Wayne Manor Collection” of custom Secret Identity figures (Bruce, ____, Alfred, abd Barbara).
Well what’s a Wayne Manor collection without… well… Wayne Manor?
I’ve just taken delivery of this dollhouse (as a kit), and it will become the official Wayne Manor to my custom MEGO Playboy, ward, and manservant.
This 14 room (!) mansion dollhouse is made entirely of milled plywood, and features an opening front face, and a full grand staircase.
Now folks, I do not exaggerate when I tell you this dollhouse is HUGE!!! Finished, it measures 36" tall, 24-3/4 inches deep, and an incredible 69-1/8 inches wide (that’s over 5 1/2 feet!)
I’ve spent the last 5 years collecting up many of the peripheral items that I’ll be using with this Wayne Manor dollhouse playset (Re: Miniature trees, green velvet matt for the sprawling lawn, etc.)

This customizing story actually begins way back on Christmas morning of 1975. There I was, 7 years old, opening up the MEGO Batman toys that my parents gave me as gifts. I was already less than thrilled with the lack of detail and the silly giant oven mitts worn by the Batman and Robin figures. But as a little boy obssessed with The Batmobile, my biggest disappointment was actually yet to come.
I remember that I took the MEGO Batmobile out of its package and I actually frowned. Yup… even as a 7 year old. An obsessive little voice in my head screamed, “Where are the bubble windows? Why are the wheels all wrong? Why is there no red pinstriping on the car? Why is the emblem on the doors all wrong? Why is the interior entirely in red? Why is there no jet afterburner tube in the back? Where are the parachute packs?”, and probably most nagging of all “Why is it so darn SMALL???” At a mere 13 inches in length, this Batmobile looked more like a Bat-Go Kart with MEGO figures sitting in it!!
In short, I was NOT happy. But I was going to have to wait 26 years before I could do anything about it…

Fast forward to spring of 2001. I was putting the final touches on the initial series of 8 inch scale customized MEGO Bat-Characters that I had created. It occurred to me that the time was right to begin preliminary work on a customized ride for my custom Dynamic Duo.
I purchased a MEGO Batmobile from E-bay in pretty good condition (to replace my long-lost specimen from ’75), and I began my plans to customize it with all the details I wanted to see.
Unfortunately, NONE of my plans could ever correct the biggest issue I had with the toy… its lack of correct size. And I just couldn’t bear to STUFF my new custom MEGO Batman and Robin action figures into this tiny under-scaled Go-Kart.
NO, it became pretty clear to me that building an entire car from scratch was going to be the order of businesss.

I began doing extensive research, and read everything I could find about George Barris’ creation of the famous crime-fighting car.
The wealth of information I found was fascinating:
The Batmobile was based off of a 1955 experimental concept car that Barris owned called the Lincoln “Futura”. The car had been featured in the film "It Started With A Kiss", starring Glen Ford and Debbie Reynolds.
When production was over, the studio sold the car to Barris for $1 (rather than pay exhorbitant storage fees).
By the time the Producers of "BATMAN" approached Barris about designing and building a slick, modern Batmobile for their upcoming show, the old car had been sitting rusting in the back lot of Barris' Hollywood custom "chop shop" shop for years.
But the Futura already featured many of the details that the Batmobile would later become famous for. This was a good thing too since the studio only gave Barris 3 weeks to deliver a finished Batmobile in time to shoot the first film tests.
Barris and his team made several major design changes to the car that brought it squarely into the "muscle car" era of the 1960’s. Being the shrewd businessman that he was, George wasted no time in securing a patent for his creation.
True to his word, Barris delivered the finished Batmobile on time, and the studio was thrilled with the result. When the Batman TV show premiered in 1966, the Batmobile became just as much of an overnight star as Adam West and Burt Ward. Children around the WORLD thrilled to the Dynamic Duo racing into action in their awesome black hot rod!!

I decided that my best plan for creating an accurately MEGO-scaled and detailed Batmobile toy was to find a Lincoln Futura toy replica (hopefully in the right size), and customize it into the Caped Crusader’s ride.
Unfortunately, an extensive search in the world of toy cars turned up nothing. No appropriately-sized Lincoln Futura toys. Darn!
However, I did find the 1995 re-issue of the 1/25th scale Revel Monogram Lincoln Futura model kit (originally produced in 1956).
This was a beautiful kit with extremely accurate sculpting. The body was nice and, long and sleek, and the fine detail was superb.
Now this model would have been the PERFECT starting point for a very accurate MEGO-scaled Batmobile… if it had been in the correct size.
As part of my research, I learned that the actual Lincoln Futura showcar was 227 inches in length.
At 1/25th scale, this model kit was just a hair over 9 inches in length. Not exactly appropriate for an 8 inch MEGO Batman to drive around in!
Now, the scale-conversion math on this project was pretty straight forward: 8 inch MEGO (heroic male) figures exist in a 1:9.5 scale.
When calculated out, it works like this: 8 inches X 9.5 scale conversion = 76 inches of real-life height. So an 8 inch heroic MEGO male equals a 76 inch (6 ft. 4 inch) tall man.
It works out perfectly. Superman’s height is officially identified as 6’4”. And although Bruce Wayne’s height is officially listed as 6’2”, allowances can be made for an additional two inches in The Batman’s height due to his thick (combat) boot soles and his cowl.
It should also be pointed out that nude MEGO type II bodies measure in at exactly 7.75 inches. Converted at 1:9.5 scale, that translates to a real life man between 6’1” and 6’ 2” in height.
This 1 : 9.5 scale, then, must also be employed to determine the correct size of the custom Batmobile toy. So working backward: 227 inches in length (of the actual real-life car) divided by 9.5 (MEGO scale) equals a toy car that is 23.89 inches in length. That’s virtually TWICE as long as MEGO’s 1974 Batmobile toy!
Alright. Enough research! Enough calculations! Time to get to work building this big toy!

I spent the next couple of weeks converting the small Revel Monogram Lincoln Futura model kit into the ’66 Batmobile I was so familiar with. Admittedly, this was not as easy to do as I had hoped, but it wasn’t impossible either. Just as George Barris had done on the actual Lincoln Futura, I radiused the wheel wells and used a Dremel to open them up.
I also wanted my final MEGO-Scaled Batmobile Toy to have separate seats in the cockpit. Since this model kit came with a full cockpit tub with seats that were molded in place, it became necessary to carefully cut them out.
With the seats cut out, I fabricated a new backing wall for the interior tub with white sheet styrene.
With some careful sheet styrene work and squadron putty I converted the Lincoln Futura model into the Batmobile’s basic profile with the flared fenders and wheel openings. I scalloped the tail fins, and extended them into the doors.
With the Bat-customization of the model kit completed, the next order of business became figuring out a way to convert the small 9 inch model into a correctly-sized 24 inch long car for my 8 inch scaled MEGO Batman and Robin. Easier said than done… especially back in 2001…

I knew that creating re-sized toys off of smaller or larger prototypes was pretty common in the world of toy manufacturing.
I had heard of pantographing, the process by where a mechanical senor arm ran along the full surface of a prototype model reading every detail, while a linked sculpting arm sculpted a copy of those details in a new size in hard clay.
I had also learned about stereolithography. This was the system that consisted of an Ultra-Violet Laser, and a vat of photo-curable liquid resin.
A platform was lowered into the resin (via an elevator system), such that the surface of the platform was a layer-thickness below the surface of the resin. The laser beam then traced the boundaries and filled in a two-dimensional cross section of the model, solidifying the resin wherever it touched. Once a layer was completed, the platform descended a layer thickness, resin flowed over the first layer, and the next layer was built. This process continued until the model was completed.
The model is then removed from the platform, washed of excess resin, and then placed in a UV oven for a final curing.
The trouble was, both of these procedures were incredibly cost-prohibitive for a simple MEGO toy customizer from Brooklyn. We’re talking upwards of $15,000 - $35,000, (depending on which procedure was employed and what size the final prototype was intended to be).
At those prices, things certainly did NOT look good for the future of my customized MEGO Batmobile.
But then, as luck would have it, I came across an experimental new prototyping process that was used by a rapid prototyping company in Salt Lake City, UT. This process promised to be far more affordable and gave my Batmobile project all new life!
3-D Printing: was a relatively new concept in 3-D prototyping. The concept behind it was that a model would be fully laser-scanned and re-created as a 3-D CAD file on computer. That file could then be used to run a revolutionary new printer that would actually create prototype white polyurethane parts by making them entirely out of flat cross-sections BONDED together.
Think of it as creating an entire salami out of hundreds of individual slices.
The process was expensive, but far more affordable than the other two commonly used prototyping procedures. The reason for this was because the finished 3-D printed parts ended up with a rough texture that required hand finishing / smoothing. The good news was that these polyurethane parts were fully sandable and could be made glass-smooth with a reasonable amount of effort.
Back in business, baby! Back in BUSINESS!!
I sent my bat-converted Lincoln Futura model kit to Salt Lake City to be 3D scanned. And waited anxiously for the scaled-up parts to be created, packaged and shipped to me. That was probably LONGEST 4 months of my life.
My MEGO helper / assistant and I passed the time gathering up parts that we intended to use for the Batmobile’s construction.
Here he is on the day some temporary wheels and rubber racing tires arrived for the car.
Finally, the package arrived, and when I saw the newly-sized Batmobile parts, I was thrilled beyond words!
When assembled together, the scaled-up Batmobile parts became a beautiful prototype of the Batman’s ride in perfect MEGO scale… FINALLY!!!!!!
My MEGO assistant and I wasted no time! He immediately began to pose in and around the car to double check the scale accuracy (he’s such a ham). But my inner geek nearly cried from joy! This was going to be an incredible custom toy!!
As expected, the parts needed some smoothing and finish-sanding, but it would be far less than I expected. And some of the car’s simpler flat shapes could very easily be reproduced in sheet styrene (such as I have begun to do with the lower rocker panels of the body)
The size comparison of this rough prototype next to MEGO’s 1974 Batmobile was more startling than even I expected.
Now that I had the scaled-up parts, the next order of business was to come up with a construction PLAN. Organization is everything in a project of this magnitude.
Since I planned for this toy to feature working lights, I realized that I would need to build this car from the inside – out so that I could effectively conceal all the electronic wiring. First I would build the fully-detailed cockpit tub (featuring velvet “carpeted” floor, plush seats, Bat-phone and electronic dashboard). Next I would tackle the chassis / drivetrain / steering assembly (most likely kit-bashed and adapted from an RC car). Then lastly, I would assemble, detail and paint the main car body with working doors.
Will Roberto succeed in his Batmobile construction plans? Will he make it all the way through without breaking the bank? Will Roberto's custom MEGO Batman and Robin cruise in ultimate sytle?

Wow... Just like Slayer said, it's impressive to see this level of enthusiasm for your craft. To tackle something of this magnitude is hard enough, but to do so with such a lofty goal of perfection... it's daunting. I probably would not have even attempted it, yet you have not taken no for an answer. It's really a testament to the power of this hobby, and I applaud you for what you have done so far.
I'm sure at the end, you goals will be achieved and our jaws will drop as the pics load on our screens.
But until then, I will watch each step and enjoy the ride.

Thanks so much for the kind words guys. It's greatly appreciated!!
You know, I turned 41 earlier this month, and it just occurred to me that I first bought the MEGO Bat-Character action figures to start this customizing project back in 1988 at a local toy / comic book convention.
So I've been at this project now for half my life.
Man, I've GOT to get out more...
Thanks again guys. A project like this sure DOES take a lot out of you. But i can promise you that I will most certainly keep the updates coming!
Sorry, goody buddy. The Joker sculpt was a one-off creation done only in this 1:9.5 MEGO (8 inch) scale, and it is not available in 1:6 scale.
Yes they are! Lots of GREAT memories with MEGOS. But I gotta say, they are a real handful to customize and bring into the 21st century in terms of greater detail and posability. I'm sick to death of those darn internal elastic bungee cords and rubber binders.
