Tony Mei 1966 Batman Upgrade Suit

Post by Planejack777 »

I’m retiring within the next two months. As a result am going to sell my 1/6 scale collection due to a change in our living space. I have still in boxes never removed the Jazz Inc items as well as the the Hot Toys figures. I saw early on that Tony Mei had done some upgrade suits to the Batman outfit consisting of more accurate Tights, with Bat emblem to be attached by owner, Shorts, and Cape. My question is when did Tony do these, and does anyone know the number he produced? I purchased one of the last ones he did….but not sure when. Before I list anywhere I’d like to be accurate in giving this information and hope others can help fill me in.

I can't help you with the number-- I have one myself and its great.
I know several boards who are looking for one, so when you do list it somewhere be sure and mention it here.

Since I’m hoping to sell all…my thoughts were to list it as a “Package” deal along with both NIB figures…and perhaps as a large bonus with the NIB (Never removed) Jazz,Inc. BM.

Sounds like a lot of great stuff. Please share the listing here.
In October of 22 I purchased Tony’s tights and shorts. He told me at the time that was the last one he was going to make. I am not sure if that is true, but that’s what he said. Hope that helps.
The tights are 10 times better than the Hot Toys set.

I’m not sure if I am allowed to state what I have, or what I’m asking on this site. I don’t want to get in trouble. I can just state what I have, (Not prices) and go from there. I’m taking care of my wife who had Hip surgery…so I’m a bit behind in terms of making a listing on eBay.

Jack, thanks for being courteous. You're more than welcome to post/list the items, details and photos, all we ask is that pricing and transactions are handled via PM or email.

List away, Old Chum!

Sorry for delays….having trouble signing in multiple times….all with correct username and password. Thank you Ben, for the kind and funny response. I will write up a list and prices tomorrow and post. My wife had Hip Surgery a short while ago, and although I was an Air Force pilot for 9 years, and an airline pilot for 37….this is the hardest I’ve worked! ;-)

I don’t know how you resisted the temptation. I would’ve probably used “Smilin’ Jack“ as my member name if I had your background. Or is that too old of a reference?

No, I unfortunately it must be before my time. I’ll ask my wife “Dixie Lee” to see if she knows what you’re talking about? ;-)

Just keep in mind that the sign in is case sensitive.

Hey, Jack

You may need to delete the prices. I think prices have to be handled via email or private message.
