This is both my inaugural Halloween Photo and the first

Man-Bat Build Part 1
My "How to Make an Asteroid M Playset" series went
over quite well, so I'm going to try and do more making-off posts. I thought my
Man-Bat figure would be a good subject. I've been meaning to build some DC Comics Noble Monsters for my collection, and, with the recent purchase of a
sizeable parts lot, I now have everything I need for a really nice Man-Bat.
The lot of parts had a variety of bodies to choose from. I
chose a body that allows the arms to swivel straight up and out from the sides of
the body (a Bif Bang Pow! "Flash Gordon" body). This will allow
Man-Bat to show off his wings when completed.
I sanded the neck plug of the resin Man-Bat head and fit it
into the body. The parts lot had some pieces from Emce's Zombie Kit, and there
was a pair of lanky zombie hands that reminded me of how Neil Adams draws
Man-Bat's hands. I unhinged a pair of regular Mego hands at the wrist joint and
replaced them with the zombie hands.
I found a pair of jeans in my main inventory for him. He's
now ready for painting. While I'm painting him, I'll figure out how I want to
construct his wings.

Trent from Harlan Ellison's "The Outer Limits" episode "Demon with a Glass Hand"
"Like the Eternal Man of Babylonian legend, like
Gilgamesh, one thousand plus two hundred years stretches before Trent. Without
love. Without friendship. Alone; neither man nor machine, Waiting. Waiting for
the day he will be called to free the humans who gave him mobility. Movement,
but not life."

1/9 Scale Golden Commode from "Raiders Lost in the Dark"
When I discovered that Figures Toy Co. makes a Mego-sized
toilet, I knew what had to be done:
1/9 Scale Golden Commode from "Raiders Lost in the
Dark".
I met my good friend Bryan way back in the early 80s, a foreboding
time of difficult change for me. We met at a Creation Sci-Fi/Comics convention,
and, sharing a love of storytelling and all things geeky, became instant
friends. A few years later, Bryan invited me to participate in his independent
film "Raiders Lost in the Dark", a feature-length spoof of "Raiders
of the Lost Ark". It was a blast.
The 80s were difficult, but I made some great, lifelong
friends. Bryan is among the best. I made this custom as a 50th birthday gift for him. I truly hope it honors and celebrates
our more than three decades of friendship.
