Over at the BAT-BLOG Message Board we have a member, and friend from the UK, named Martin who, in his spare time, likes to make custom toys of Batman characters that he wished toy companies would make, but don't. The photo up above is one of his current creations where he took a 12" action figure doll & made it look like Adam West's Batman from the classic TV Series. All of us here at the BAT-BLOG are extremely impressed with all of this guy's stuff. We mean, these are WORKS OF ART! The attention to detail is insane. We love the Bat-Belt with the authentic pouchs & brass belt buckle. The gloves, boots, cape, chest emblem are all top-notch! He said he got the head off eBay from a guy who makes "Custom Heads" of classic characters. Martin received this item unpainted & done it himself, a really great job too!! If you're a fan of cool custom toy work then you need to check out his other pieces he did that are featured in our Message Boards. He re-vamped a Mego Batmobile to look exactly like the 1966 TV Show version. He also made some Mego Doll-sized creations of Catwoman, Batman, & Robin from the TV Series (Adam West & Burt Ward!). We want to thank Martin for his contributions & we also wanna invite all our readers to join the Message Baords to give us your imput! Thanx!
