Re: Anyone know who made this face plate for the McFarlane 1:1 cowl?

Good for you Chuck! There is a guy on Ebay who has for years been selling recasted masks from Don Post Studios. He says in his ads he got them years ago and cant remember from who. Yet he always comes up with new copies to sell which says he's lying and still cranking them out. Years ago i obtained ...

Re: McFarland 1966 cowl

A shorty display cape from Williams Studio would really finish that off nicely.

Green Hornet theme

Has anyone seen the new car commercial using the Green Hornet theme as background music? NOT the Flight Of The Bumblebee but the original Billy May /Al Hirt GH theme from the TV show! Its slightly edited for time but is unmistakably the TV theme. I thought it was gonna be for the new Dodge Hornet bu...

Re: A Bat-Mannequin for my birthday

Do you plan to put Chuck Williams Adam West bust to replace the head then put the cowl over it? I actually spoke to Chuck about getting a display face, and he says I would need to cut the face off my mannequin to make it work. I don't have any cutting tools that can do that, and right now I am a bi...

Re: Did anybody ever attend a grand opening of Toys "R" Us and met the superheroes?

My first wife's younger brothers were twins and got hired to do the one here as a Kenner Super Powers tie in. They were both blonde nice looking guys. One actually moved out to LA and did some small parts in movies later. I saw some photos of them as the Flash and i think, Aquaman. I remember also s...

There may be bigger, more complete collections but that is the most moody, thought provoking room display ive ever seen.
Absolutely beautiful!

Re: A 1943 cape and cowl from WS2... with a twist.

Those are absolutely beautiful pieces and certainly evoke the look of the B&W serial nightime shots. BUT, I still love my blue 43 cape and cowl from WS2 along with the belt and gloves. I need to place an order for the tights and boots to fInish out my display. Andy, you really need to at least g...

Re: FIBERGLASS FREAKS RAIDED!!

Mark, im happy to see you came out on top and that crooked Sheriff didnt get away with his abuse of authority.
Politics play a huge amount in Sheriff Departments which is one of the reasons i chose to work for a city police department for 30 years. Less internal corruption and ol' buddy politics.

Re: 1943 Bat suit paraphernalia

I know its all in good fun but i think sometimes its a little too easy to over analyze this stuff. Serials were made with two things in mind- FAST and CHEAP. They were nototious for takkng shortcuts in props and costuming. Arguably, out of all the costumed heroes adapted from the page to the screen,...
