    Holy Bionic Theft! GI Joe Stole Steve's Jet ...Thing

    I never knew the Bionic Mission Vehicle had been reused as an Action Man vehicle. It looks awesome in black.

        I am aware that it wasnt a copyright theft. I was using it in a comedic sense accusing the characters involved in gi joe and action man as having stolen tech and or a vehicle from the character of Steve Austin aka the 6 Million Dollar Man.

              Everything in Kenner's early "Dark Knight Collection" was borrowed from another line. The Batman and Joker motorcycles were both from the Robocop line. The Batjet as you say, from Silverhawks. And of course they recycled the Super Powers Batcopter in black. We finally got movie-accurate Batmobile and Batwing from them in the second wave of releases.

              And then there's Kenner's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves line...the only thing new is the heads! And not even all of those are new!

                Ok but how cool does the rocket jet car cycle thing look in black? Despite the body still looking like a Dustbuster?

                  Exactly why Toy Biz is the cut-off point for vintage Batman toys in my collecting. Some of the Kenner Batman vehicles bring good money though.

                      I hope you're not being deadly serious accusing Megotastrophe of being deadly serious.
                      (I'm assuming you're not)

                      "Holy Bionic Theft! GI Joe Stole Steve's Jet ...Thing" is about as tongue-in-cheek as it gets.
