This post is especially for Jason! I rarely work in the true Mego 8" style. But lately seeing Jason's great efforts in that world and feverishly customizing things for upcoming holiday onslaught sales - I ressurected an old project. I had purchased a couple of these vaguely Bell 47-ish Helicopters from Cotswold's about 7 years ago hoping they'd be a good 1:6 scale Batcopter base.
Well, as you can see - they are not very detailed, much more toylike than 1:6 scale figures deserve and much too small for a full 12" figure. There's not even room for Mego sized Robin to join him! So I shelved it for a long while. Then I thought - wait, the Mego guys might like a better, more accurate Batcopter that still fits the 70's Mego-style and this would be perfect for that project. And of all the vintage Mego vehicles, the Batcopter was the wackiest looking flying yellow slipper thing that never made sense.
So here is a first look at my revised Mego Batcopter (for sale) I still have to add a few support struts for the wings and some interior details, but not too many - I want to keep this Mego-riffic.
