I was just wondering if any of you great and glorious Mego and the like experts can help me?
I would love to be able to restore an older larger scaled Batman and need help with replacement / custom pieces... What I have is the old Blue Grey Batman from the late 70's or so? Approx. 7-10" tall? with magnetic hands and feet.
Without going into explination lol, he is missing a hand (which I know I have saved "somewhere") and his "boot and glove cuffs / pieces" are missing in action and believed long gone.
Any ideas?

There have been a few upsets and problems in the world of repro parts and customs as you may have heard. However the legendary Dr Mego did indeed do stunning replica parts for the 12 Inch range of figures. DC or representatives of them 'encouraged' him to withdraw from his lists repro parts relating to their characters. That is a whole can of worms in itself! Anyhow I imagine he still has many of these parts but he cannot list them officially. If you contact him and ask what he has remaining I'm sure he can sort you out. He may be a bit wary if he doesn't know you but if you mention guys like myself, Martin from England, and Jason, I'm sure he will know you are on the level and not a spy for DC www.drmego.comCheck him out and good luck fella! **UPDATE** I just checked and he still does nearly all the spare parts you might need for the magnetic Batman figure.
