I finally got around to doing some work on turning an old Power Team Spy Car into a Batmobile. This little black beast was sold as an exclusive through Sears Canada a few years back and came with a 12" tall Power Team figure dressed in a black tux. Sadly, instead of using their knock off Connery head, they used some frou frou pretty boy head...I quickly changed that!
Anyways, the car is a bit tight for a 12" figure, but dead on perfect for an 8" Mego Batman. I've included a pic of a WIP Batman to show the scale.
The car has some neat tricks no spy, or Batman, can live without. If you push down on the gear shift, wheel shredders pop out of the wheels. Push the radio console into the dash, and the headlights (complete with lasers..err...I mean "Frikkin' Lasers") pop up. Push the button on the b pillar behind Robins seat, and the trunk flies open, and has a missile launcher assembly built into the lid (fires 4 missiles). Inside the trunk is a briefcase that has secret compartments. I have turned that into a portable Batlab. Also inside is an umbrella that fires a missile. It needs to be cut down to Mego size still...and I havent figured out how to do that without losing the missile firing capability.
The decals are temporary. I am getting some high quality ones, and these are just to show location and size.
