I was looking to grab a vintage one off eBay, but if FTC makes one I'd be more than happy with that!

Can FTC produce a repro Mego Batmobile?

It may be a more "Hazy" license as I beleive George Barris owns the copyright on his batmobile design so he would have to be negotiated in addition to DC, Mattel has an agreement since they are producing diecast tv ones in verious sizes
If you get an ebay one that isn't complete (which most are missing something) Dr mego reproduced many of the parts see his store in the mego mall

They are pretty reasonable.
I snagged a loose complete one for 30.00
I just needed to adjust the bent axles alittle.Action Jackson is his name.
Bold adventure is his game.Comment

Would much rather see an accurate version of the 66 Batmobile. If they could work that out it would be a HUGE seller.Comment

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, if they could somehow get the license rights for the Batmobile from Barris, why stop there? Why not get also the rights to the Munsters Koach and Dragula? Then they could make those cars in the 8 inch scale (1/9th) as the FTC Munsters figure line. That would be cool.
Ah, what a pipe dream...Comment

I don't think the Mego Batmobile conforms to the Barris version. They could not do a B66 Batmobile but they could do the Mego one.Comment

I doubt they will do vehicles. I wish they would. I was happy when they finally did a Monster Castle playset. I was thrilled when the Enterprise playset was done. Which I guess was kinda sorta in the vehicle class.
Anyway...
I would just call a true Barris Batmobile out of practicality.
What would be close enough? I would love to see the Batmobile from the New Adventures of Batman and Robin. Great looking car, cool red bat graphic, and a simple sculpt.
