MAN-BAT PROTOTYPE
This elusive figure proves finally that there was a fourth
series in the works when production was shut down on the Super Powers
Collection.
The photos of this prototype are actually shots of a resin casting
made from the original.
Interestingly, the Man-Bat's mouth is wide open, and there are veins
visible on his arms, not to mention that he has nipples.
The level of detail that went into this sculpture leaves the collector
drooling over what must have been the most ambitious assortment
yet. Hopefully, more of these prototypes will show up as time goes
by.

Special thanks go to Jason
and Jeff Liebig, whose collection this figure is from, and again
to Jeff Liebig who graciously went to the trouble to take these
photos.

Here's a Man-Bat casting that was painted
by Charlie Jackam for Mark Waid. Click

all can't have a figure that looks this nice!
