For Lewis Wilson BATMAN (And Serial) Fans...

This is my Radium Gun WIP. Like I said, the handle area and back-end details are my designs, but the rest of it was as accurate as I could make it. Put a lot of effort and time into studying that. The photo resolutions available can make details look like one thing but then appear totally different in other views.

Whoa! Looks fantastic, Randy. I think any fan of the serial would be happy to own.

[AndyFish]

Absolutely great, Randy!

is the cowl for the '43 removable?

Excellent attention to detail! Your fill-in-the-gaps designs blend perfectly with the known visual details of the prop!

I don't believe the cowl is removable.

[gerryd54]

thank you

IN progress photo of my figure which answers the question what does the head look like without the cowl-- a frightening Outer Limits like man monster.

Nailed it. David-McCallum-mid-transition vibes.

[AndyFish]

BINGO!

Sorry for all of you who are sick of me talking about it, but the artist finished my figure and I think it's killer. Have to decide which serial character (or Maybe TV Superman) to get next?

[BiffPow]

That’s fun, Andy! Costume and cowl look better than what Wilson wore (I don’t know how LW could see out of that cowl, TBH).

[AndyFish]

Wilson's costume always gets a lot of heat-- but it's actually one of the most accurate page to screen versions ever done. The character had only been published for four years-- in those early days the Batmobile was a red convertible-- and to interpret the ears as devil's horns was a valid technique to emulate the look in 3D.

When they tried the same thing with Lowery's costume, the ears were either misplaced on the hood or as the rumor states the suit was actually made for a different taller actor so it fit incorrectly. In some shots it looked okay- especially when a stuntmen with less of a paunch wore it-- ironically Wilson's stuntman had MORE of a paunch than the 23 year old swimmer.



The Lowery suit also suffered the same way Adam's did, when they started putting his chest emblem more on his stomach than his chest which is not flattering.

Next up; Kirk Alyn Superman? Tom Tyler Phantom or Captain Marvel? George Reeves Superman? Tough decision to make.
He does quite a few. He does a great Buster Crabbe Flash Gordon but I have the Go Hero figure which looks pretty good.

Andy, I for one will never get tired of any Batman talk. Keep them coming.

Love that figure too! I would be torn deciding between the color and black and white version.

I love the idea of either Superman figures but that Captain Marvel has me intrigued.


Can you share the creators info?

[BiffPow]

Captain Marvel - for sure.
