"THE JOKER IS WILD!"

        I found substantial room for improvement over Mego's original 8 Inch action figure version of  THE JOKER...

        First off, I gave his face a bit of a make-over with a more detailed paint scheme.  I eliminated the silk-screened leotard that Mego provided and fashioned all-new SEPARATE garments  (custom silk green shirt, flaming orange flannel vest, baggy "pleated" purple pants with fat black pinstripes and tall waistband. As for his zany purple blazer, I only added a wild orange satin lining to the tails to spruce them up. At this point, I added the decorative details to the figure like buttons, floppy black tie, bright red lapel flower,  a pair of purple dress sox and, a pair of white spats draped over his standard brown Mego shoes. He also wears a dandy pair of CLOTH white dress gloves, which unfortunately did not photograph as well as I’d hoped…

        I created a custom Mego-styled window box on computer for THE JOKER to sleep in and called him finished!

"FRIGID BIRD"

        "Rounding out" this rouge's gallery of  Bat-villains is my customized action figure rendition of the nefarious PENGUIN!

        MEGO'S original action figure version of  THE PENGUIN required a complete and total make-over.

        This figure has customized shorter and thicker legs to give him a 7 inch tall body height (to actually make him SHORTER than the other 8 inch tall characters).  He has an all-new (more sinister) head sculpt with a removable top hat and monocle with lens (not molded onto the head sculpt like MEGO's original.) THE PENGUIN now wears brand new custom-made SEPARATE clothing garments: white shirt, silk bow-tie, silk orange cumberbundt, purple dress pants, sox, white spats on top of wing-tip shoes, buttons  (unlike MEGO's original silk-screen printed leotard).

        My customized PENGUIN action figure also wears white silk dress gloves with cuffs (instead of MEGO's simple "white hands"), and he has custom-made  cigarette-holder and umbrella accessories  (which MEGO never included with their original action figure!)

        I also created a customized MEGO-styled window-box package for this action figure on computer in Adobe Photoshop.
