    Dida Drawing Board: Legion of Doom

    So help me out here. I've working on this painting for the front panel of the LOD playset.



    I'll show pics of the inside and how it will work later, but for now my question is this:

    Should this be the other outside image? Do you really want Black Lightning and Apache Cheif and those guys? Since Joker wasn't in the show should he be excluded, even though you'll probably put your Mego Joker in the playset?

    He could be shown on the side panels, along with the other Bat and Spidey villains.

    Obviously Mego didn't make any of the SuperFriends villains pictured on top (nor some of the depicted heroes..), so that can measure your criteria for inclusion..

      Why would you put Spidey villains on a Legion of Doom playset?

          You can tell I'm an expert.

          Yeah, I dunno, on my HOJ I customized the group to include only heroes Mego made, hence no GL or Flash and teh addition of Batgirl and Shazam. But the LOD lineup is pretty great and it does seem like people make customs of them a lot.

          No Spidey, but I really need to do some Marvel playsets. This is ridiculous.

            No Spidey villians, but I would be fine with DC villians. I mean Riddler is in there originally, so it is still logical that Joker would be around someplace. Still, I would be fine with a strictly show based theme, that includes Black Lightening, and Apache Chief, and Samurai.

                Well, if we can't keep his name straight I don't want him on the playset.

                          I don't think it was until much later that I realized it was "Vulcan"
                          instead of "Falcon"

                          And then I was like waitaminute---is this some kind of "Trek crossover" thing?

                          Anyways---it's cool thi sproject is being worked on.

                          I say go hardcore HB COTSF with the graphics.

                          THEN if the mood strikes afterwards---make a totally different
                          playset based more on the comicbooks---a "Citadel" playset, or
                          whatever the heck the villains used in the comic run of SSOSV

                          Kinda---like "in for a penny---in for a pound".

                          Joker and Myxylpltlk and even Penguin cameos from graphics from
                          their HB appearances around the same time would be a cool add--
                          on like viewscreens or something--you know---subtle stuff like that
                          for character graphics that may be "borderline" for inclusion.

                              my vote is to just have the members of the legion of doom on the artwork. why would the super heroes be included? it is a villain display. unless the depictions are of the super heroes in peril.
