I know, thats what i was thinking, I may put some custom bat fins on the back, still kicking around ideas. I actually found 2 the same day but at different stores, both a dollar, the other one is white and is a bit rougher than the blue one.

Rescue Heroes. I think that's Jake Justice's bike.

These are the wooden motorcycles I found. I had a bunch and no one wanted them so I dumped my stock. The Toy Museum where we hold Mego Meet has hem now. The wheels look small but can be replaced. I bought larger size wooden toy wheels. All you would have to do is repaint them.

I love those little pieces of wood made up like a V-Twin engine and the primary cover, love it.

Are all the Rescue Heroes vehicles in scale for Mego figures?

Where on EARTH did you find a wooden motorcycle????

I've got several dollar stores and CVS stores in my area, and they have absolutely ZIP like that in the toy section!

Well Rescue Heroes are like 6 or 7 inches tall. Notice in the pic how Robin and Batman's feet are a little too long for the bike?

All the Rescue Heroes and knock offs were about the same size. They did Marvel and Dc also.
And the old testament. :-S
Theyre the guys who started teh big feet are for kiddies thing.

They had wooden firetrucks and police cars, etc. They had stock like this from pre-X-Mas till spring. Not this year. It was a few years ago. Maybe it was Rite-Aid. I think I live near where you work. I bought it in the Whitestone Shopping Center in Queens. It looks pretty good except for the wheels. I think the box listed the manufacturer as from New England.

I work mostly in the North Bronx.

If you see anything like that ever again, let me know where and how much.

I had to dig through my archive of pictures, but I managed to find what I was actually looking for for once. :grin: Here is my head less Captain America on his bike. As you can see the bike works great for Cap.

Wow! I did not know that I had this since 2005. It is amazing how fast the time flies when you are having fun.

That bike is perfect for Batman. Right size, color and style.

My boys literally have three round tubs full of the Rescue Heroes stuff, and two more of the Marvel/DC versions.

From what I have seen and bought already I would say that this stuff is going to be plentiful. Which of course that is always a good thing. Especially when you have a bunch of Megoheads wanting the same stuff for customizing.

Rescue Heroes were my son's first foray into action figure line collecting (and playing!). Hours, we spent on adventures with those, especially when the DC and Marvel lines came out. Although he's not playing with them any more, they're for him what Megos are for me.

I always meant to pick him up a spare RH Jake Justice motorcycle to refit for his Captain America . . . I may just customize one for him now (his b-day's coming up), for fun -- where exactly are you guys finding these things so cheap?

Slap an emblem for Robin over the R and the boy wonder has a set of wheels!

Yes, You are correct! :smile: A side from Mego's I have a wide collection of other stuff from A to Z. :grin: My gf pictured to the left is really cool about that kind of stuff. Thank goodness! :cool_y:

She lets me get away with displaying tasteful pictures of other hotties, like posters of Pam Anderson, having a Playboy collection and she also tolerates other like stuff. Like me collecting and customizing Mego's. :smiley1:

A lot of people say that she kind of looks like Jenna. This is why I display one of my gf's pictures next to Jenna for a side by side comparison. Maybe it is the curves or maybe it is the blonde hair. :grin:

We actually met Jenna and got her auto along with some other pictures. In fact that is a picture of Jenna singing another item for us. But that is a whole other subject. :wink: :grin:

I picked up a couple Harley Davidson bike models that were put out a few years ago. The ones where you push a button and it has a prerecorded motor cycle revving sound. Pretty impressive. You can find them all over junk stores on maybe on eBay.
I stuck my new custom Huntress figure on one to show you size comparison. It may be a little bigger then normal but it works fine. My Punisher figure looks pretty cool on it with all of his arsenal.

Here is the shots of her on the bike (anybody know a faster way of getting the flame pinstripes off the tank? It's a slow nightmare.)

Wrath - That's actually a more correct scale for a Mego Harley, especially for a female character.

Is it? I'll have to look at it more. I thought for sure the foot rests were a bit wide.

Here's an old Harley motorcycle I plan to eventually paint up for WW2 Cap. Found at Goodwill for about a buck.

Are those a pair of cut down Barbie boots I see on her?

If so, very nice!

That looks perfect for Ghost Rider too. I think the scale is perfect.

I did some searching online. This is the only mail order place in the U.S. that has those wooden motorcycles at a decent price. These differ a little from mine but seem to be the same overall. They even have a metal one:

about us (http://harleyglide.com/about.html)

http://harleyglide.com/uploads/15096.jpghttp://12.151.5.115/webdocs/images/RP433D.JPG

If you want the style of wooden motorcycle I mentioned earlier in this thread the Kruger Street Toy Museum has them, (this is the museum where we have Mego Meet every year). You might inquire with him about mail order.
