And you're not kidding about the scarcity of the "Skinny Boots" RC Batman. Believe it or not, I couldn't even track down a high-grade specimen for the book! In fact, I actually had to cheat this in the book (only cheated once though, if you ignore the shot of Speedy 'holding' his bow on page 227): If you look at the Skinny boot on page 29, it's actually a photo-recolored Superman boot! Them boots is tough! -b Hey Derek, wonderful sentiment, and I agree wholeheartedly. And you’re not kidding about the scarcity of the “Skinny Boots” RC Batman.

I think it almost perfectly encapsulates everything the company was about - simplicity of style, extreme playability, and a perfect use of scale and parts. It took me years to piece my "Skinny Boots" RC Batman together, but it is one of the "Crown Jewels" of my collection. The RC Batman is really an example of Mego at its finest.
