Superman's Fortress of Solitude Playset

[The Toyroom]

Author: Anthony Durso (The Toyroom)
Line: WGSH
Toy Execution: Custom Artwork in Dida Displays
Packaging Execution: Anthony Durso
Toy Customizers/Collaborators: Anthony Durso
Author Notes: To create more play value and extend the life of the WGSH line, Mego creates a playset for Superman, inspired by the comic book layout and artwork. This is still a work in progress, as I'm awaiting some more Dida pieces to finalize the construction and placement of certain panels. This will be a fully enclosed placeset with fold down cover (creating more floor surface for play) and a carry handle on top.

The splash front (which will eventually be moved to the large fold down cover...right now it's in the back panel):

When the cover is folded down, the Key Door is revealed. The door, when attached, hold the 2 Dida Triangles in place inside the playset shell. When the door is removed (opened), the triangles can fold out and onto the door/floor.
