Figures Toy Co. Mego Batman


I'd been wanting a Mego Batman with this fixed cowl head sculpt for some time now, the one with the vague smile and pupilled stare like the Batman I had in the '70s. Figures Toy Company has been releasing these replica figures for years, along with a universe of other characters Mego never produced in their halcyon days, so I purchased an uncarded, factory bagged sample on their eBay store. I also bought their replica Mego Batmobile in 2022, which I love to death...



Below, Figures Toy Co. Batman flanked by my Mego Big Lots Exclusive '66 Batman and Mego World's Greatest Heroes 50th Anniversary Batman, both with removable cowls- a feature that I just missed by a year or two as a child in the '70s. The new Mego Batman figures here are superior in overall quality, but the Figures Toy Co. replica has it's own thing going on. If Mego releases an updated Batman with this head sculpt and their new band-less body, I will certainly buy two or three!

For some compulsion I don't understand, I chose to purchase a black cape, scalloped like Batman's, from another online seller while securing my Figures Toy Co. Batman. I wondered if it would give him an off-model, '70s bootleg vibe ... it kind of did   :D

Criminals Beware! The Dynamic Duo, Batman & Robin!


Had a ton of fun playing with this Figures Toy Company Batman! His joints and neck swivel weren't the tightest, such has been the case with some of their figures I've purchased, but I wanted a Mego Batman with the fixed/sculpted cowl and unblinking stare like the toy of my childhood! Love it! Be sure to check out the Mego Museum online and take a trip back to the glory days of Mego and the World's Greatest Superheroes!

More Later- Make It FUN!

  1. The black cape would look better with a black cowl, boots, and gloves. Still love those oven mitt gloves. I think my brother and I had a Batmobile back in the day but I'm sure by now it's in a landfill somewhere, smashed into a bunch of pieces.
