Another Mego-style custom action figure? Yes! This is my latest, sort of a "first appearance" Batman, similar to how he was depicted during his debut, in that famed 1939 issue of DETECTIVE COMICS! Click below to enlarge each image!

| Above: Select panels from the first appearance of the Caped Crusader, from 1939's DETECTIVE COMICS #27! This primal version of the crime-busting character was my inspiration for the figure pictured below! |
 |
| Above three pics: This custom figure started with this nice "early Batman" head sculpt, bought from a talented sculptor/customizer..The head on the right was prepped at the same time, to be used with my "Golden Age Batman" custom figure... |
 |
| Above: The complete figure! Along with the custom head, I used a "Doc Mego" gray bodysuit, along with a gold-painted Mego "Iron Man" belt... |
 |
| Above: I customized some standard Mego boots to create the sharply-pointed black footwear from the early days of the character! |
 |
| Above: I hand-crafted the cape, using some stiff paper material... |
 |
| Above: I added layers of the thick paper material to the shoulders, to create a folded, "clasped at the neck" look.. |
 |
| Above: The chest insignia is hand-drawn on sticky-backed paper, then carefully cut out, then applied to the chest... |

| Above: My latest Batman custom figure joins the "Golden Age" Batman, next to a custom Mego Batcycle! |
