DC Universe Classics Custom 70′s Style Batman

I was very happy with how my custom All-Star Batman turned out, so for the past few months, I’ve been buying Mattel Public Enemies and select DC Direct Batman figures for express purpose of creating more Batman customs. Finally after months of procrastination, I buckled down and made the first (well, second if you count my custom All-Star Batman) in this custom series – Classic 70’s Style Batman!

Recipe

DC Direct: History of the DC Universe Batman – Head, Cape & Neck
Public Enemies Batman – Body, Biceps, Thighs and Knees
DC Universe Classics Classic Detective Batman – Forearms, Belt & Shins
DC Universe Classics Blue Devil – Feet
Airbrushed Mask, Cape, Gloves, Trunks & Boots
Repainted All Gray, Touched Up Belt and Repainted Flesh
Symbol Created in PhotoShop and then Decoupaged Onto Chest
Airbrushed Whole Figure with Micro Flat Sealant

Unfortunately, because I made him so fast, I didn’t take any real WIP pics. The hardest part of the custom was the neck. The PE figure’s neck was a tad too short to look right with the DCD head so I did some measuring, chopped it off and transplanted the neck from the DCD Batman. If I have to do it to the next one, I promise to take pics of the operation. 😉

My 12th wedding anniversary is coming up fast and I’d like to buy my wonderful and supportive wife a nice present, so if anyone is interested, I will be selling this Batman and I’m open to offers if someone wants to grab it before I put it up on eBay.
