1966 "Screen-Test" TV Batman Action Figure! The Making of a Custom Card! DC Comics!

What is it with the uninspiring and dull cards on which so many of today's toys are presented? Sure, I've created custom cards for Mego figures and Hot Wheels "TV Batmobile" die-cast cars, but here is my own packaging for the fabulous Funko "Screen-Test Batman" figure! Click below to enlarge images and enjoy!

Above: The actual Funko toy! Wonderful figure, but 
that dull backer card has to go!


Above: The only images of Adam West in this particular garb come
from the short '65 screen test footage, so I chose that first shot,
overlaying some highly-shaded "comics style" feel, then
placing some items from the Batcave set behind
the figure!


Above: My finished card, ready for the figure to be added back to it!

Much better!
