I'm pretty sure I've seen a cosplay somewhere on the net of this exact concept.   But, I still like it.  I love seeing crossovers like this.  Good job, but try and find a different head, the jango/clone heads are way too overused....

This is a really fun custom!!! nice work :) :)

can I offer two very friendly suggestions?

first, for the bat symbol, you might want to try some "make your own" waterslide decals.  You can get the sheets at a hobby shop, and print them out on your computer.  I used to use them with my old printer on some of my 1/6 scale customs.  They look GREAT and you can easily trim them around the armor panel lines.  with a razor. A lot easier than handpainted!  You can even bring the decal paper to a HQ print shop for even better HQ results (that's what I used to do for a few 1/6 decals.)  You need to practice/experiment for best results but once you get the hang of it it opens things up to whole new levels.  You did a great job but I could see this being "next level" with a custom decal!

and second, update your blog more and make a lot more customs! ;) ;) your blog is one of my favorites out there.

Thanks for sharing as always!

Holy Mandalorian Armor, Batman!  Very Cool!  No Joke, or Riddle to it.  Don't Freeze up, just keep them coming!

Wow, what a great custom figure and I love the concept. I must say we are gonna have to think about doing a Mando Mash Up like this for a contest sometime in the future. This figure is one the front page.

Now all we need is the Jokeralorian and Catalorian. I think a Mandalorian Gal fused with catwoman would be awesome.

@The Spectre: Thanks buddy! I'm glad you like it! It seemed like such a logical combo lol.

@Spuda: Cosplay and Deviant art for sure, custom action figure, the only other one I know of is The Spectre's take on it. Cross-overs are awesome for sure! I went with the clone head because I liked it. He has more of a scowl than the usual clones and because the helmet fits him nicely with hardly any "nose bump" showing through. But I'm glad you approve over all :)

@FlaccidEagle: Hey I'm really glad you like it! As for the decals, I really try to stay away from them. The hand painted logo might look a little crude, but I can always touch it up. Besides, it's not supposed to be exact as it is a mash-up. I wanted to challenge myself and slapping a perfect machine made Bat-logo on there seems like an easy out. The only way to get better at hand painting logos is to keep hand painting them. As for the blog, funny you mentioned that. I'm planning a massive relaunch coming soon. I've got 3 customizers on board to do regular/semi regular contributions and a Star Wars humor group too. If you want to be a part of it PM me and tell me your ideas. I just recently added some music to the page ;) I'm flattered that it's one of your favorites! That's so awesome! Feel free to shoot me an email with your comments, suggestions, tips, etc.

@JediMinstrel: Yes! hahaha love the puns bro! Thanks! I will keep them coming. A Mr. Freeze would be cool to do too!

@Tamer: Thank you so much! You're too kind my friend! I think a Mando mash-up contest or any kind of mash-up contest would be awesome! Thanks for the front page, I'm honored :D I think we can expect to see some more Gotham-lorians coming soon. I was thinking Lobot would make a good head for Alfred.

Yes! I was debating whether or not to turn a BARC into a Bat-Mando swoop... Glad you like him!

That is awesome!  I've got a 3.75" Tumbler for trade, it would look sweet pimped out with  the god**** Batmandalorian behind the wheel.

@DO: Cool! Glad you like him! I thought about that idea... just need the Batmobile. PM sent.

@JMT: Thanks! Glad you're liking him. If you like Mando Cross overs check out the Dino Bots cross overs. Kinda like my Cynox. :)

Nice!  Love the creative juices you obviously have flowing.  After having just viewed the new trailer for TDKR and seeing your work,
I'm in the mood for some Caped Crusader action!
