Looks great - I've done a similar custom, except with TNBA figures (also done by Casimir).

WOW! That was pretty speedy, Matt!
Love how he's looking in the package. Great stuff!
Thanks for the plug, by the way. Too cool of you.
Let's see some more customs!

Hey great minds think alike...I did that, but I didn't like the launcer being on his arm when he was unmasked...So I switched it back until the series 2 Batman comes out. Although yours looks great on the card. PJ

Great Job. That really turned out cool.
I was considering doing that, but I am more anxious to try it out on the 6" figures if they ever get released in the market.

I have already done it with the 6" figures.There is a lot of neck re-working to do as the Bruce Wayne head has the neck as well while the Batman head is cut off at the Jawline.Saying that it can be done just a lot of work involved.

And that's why I wish I could find the 6" Bruce Wayne here in the states...As I want to do that to him, but I don't want to do it until I have a couple others (1 to keep as is and 1 as a backup) PJ

I think that I may do it with the mask pulled down to the base of the neck. The cowl seems like it would be easier to work with, and I have seen it both ways in the comics. I am reading some old reprints of the early Ra's Al Ghul stories, and Neal Adams drew the mask pulled down to the base of the neck. Hopfully it will turn out well.

Well you don't have much longer to wait i assure you PJ. Thank FB, That's great to know, because my Bruce Wayne sitting here by my computer is getting a little worried. I have the Zipline body all painted up...just waiting for a Bruce Wayne head....And I keep eyeing him. ;D PJ

[shadow=blue,left,300]Did this myself last night and I must say that it looks Zips looks very cool with Bruce's head. Now I am trying to find a way to add a piece to the back of his neck that appears to be the cowl hanging off. Thanks to Matt and Matt for the idea![/shadow]

Thanks to Matt and Matt for the idea![/shadow] I don't know but for the 6" Batman I did this... After I had cut off the flesh part I was going to try and hollow it out, but it ripped so I just cut it in half. And I'll just glue it to the back of the cape. I don't think this will work with the Zip Action Batman though because his ears are in the back of his head. I might still try and hollow out the Zip Action Batman's as his head is rounder. PJ

I also thought about using the soft rubber cowl from the TNBA Bruce Wayne figure. I'll try both and see which one I like better!![/shadow]

As I can't remove it like Iron Cow did and I don't think Bats would be carrying in in the cave. ;D PJ
