Make your own Van, Courtesy of FTC!

^ I was actually pondering that, too. With mirrored panel.

I also think that this answers the question as to if they are going to release Joker's Van since they offer the customize van in green and red roofs.

Right! Assuming these sell well, they'll then go to the effort of making the boxing glove and squirt flower for it.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]19304[/ATTACH]The Aqua-Van could look something like this.

I'm thinking about making The Six Million Dollar Van. Dead serious.

^Red and white? Jeez I love that idea.

And we can pretty much do our own Monkees touring bus now, too.

It's funny, I was thinking of this, too. So an Aqua-Van in green with yellow roof, orange detail stickers, and maybe some blue waves and bubbles accents?

How do the TT surfboards stay on the roof?

I'm sorry about all these impulsive posts--I just think these are so much fun and I've wanted a FF van for, well, what seems like forever in my Mego collecting.

I posted a couple of comments on another thread about the FTC vans, there's many possibilities for nice ideas
I think with some serious work, a King Tut van could be done, along with Mr. Freeze, Riddler, Flash and Green Lantern
too, and let's not forget marvel heroes and villains as well, plus like someone already mentioned Scooby mystery machine,
and how about the A-Team van? CHiPS, Three Stooges. The white van is great for painting just about anything, FTC hit
a homerun with these.

Punisher Battle Wagon! - with some work, decals and I'd have to customize a Mego-scale Punisher as well!

[Timothy2251]

Looking at the color combos available, I'm thinking of doing an updated Joker van (green roof, purple body) and a Harley Quinn van (black roof, red body - maybe replace the cage on the roof with a big mallet).
Too bad they don't have a purple roof - a Riddler van (purple roof, green body covered in question marks) would be slick as well.

ETA: Just had another idea! Blue body + Red roof = SUPERVAN!!!!

Right there with you (et al---but I recall throwing around ideas with you particularly on what FTC might release as new van product).

I want to be inspired by Museum customizers on a direction to go design-wise (most importantly it'd help me pick a favored character---or 3--- to start collecting these vans and trying to accessorize them myself), so I'm very excited to see what people do with customizing these vans for any WGSH (plus WGSH extensions like FTC Harley, EMCE Daredevil, etc... or character teams like the Avengers).

I imagine between the creativity of the layman and using pre-made DC/Marvel eBay stickers (vintage Mego-era or otherwise) and accessories that might be salvaged from non-related playsets (also found on eBay),

PLUS what the "pros" 'round here could do with their above average skills----wow, this is going to be good.

I fear making van purchases without having a clear vision of what I'd make----but, dang if the price isn't right.

My top wants would be, mostly disappointingly cliche... 1) Aqua Van 2) Shazam Van 3) Super Van 4) Wonder Van 5) Spider Van 6) Hulk Van 7) Fantasti-Van 8) America Van (w/Falcon deco) 9) Riddle Van 10) Penguin Van 11) Cat Van

However, there's a lot of outside-the-box van ideas I could see myself getting into:

Like FTC Super Friends related vans: 1) Van Of Doom 2) Van Of Justice 3) Twin-Power Van

Or a "Sinister Six Van"---or a "Bring On The Bad Van"???

My deal with the vans is that even if they take up a lot of display area... they paradoxically become space-savers if you can justify filling them with 6 or so figures... as long as they are affordable.... I'm going to go for it.

Good luck everybody! Can't wait to see the customs!

EDITED TO ADD:

I also think that this answers the question as to if they are going to release Joker's Van since they offer the customize van in green and red roofs.

This^^^^

Can someone answer my question here definitively so if I buy three vans, I can decide if I'm going to get a green & red van?

Are FTC basically saying... "Here's your Joker Mobile" replica... now all you need are some accessories (and replica stickers) to finish it?

As much as I love the Joker Mobile... always having pined for it.... I don't know the toy inside and out and would rather hear feedback in this thread than doing my own due diligence research... that said, I think others looking at this thread might benefit from a definitive answer on this here as well.

[PNGwynne]

IDK, The Joker-mobile has some unique features and (at least IMO) is more desirable than the Bat-Lab. It's true you could now bash an ersatz Joker-mobile--and egad I'd love some repro stickers, but the extra tooling for the grill, flower, and boxing glove would be awesome. And admittedly not cheap. Maybe these elements could be created on the forum.

Doing an Avengers Quin-van or Bring on the Bad Van sounds pretty cool.

What's next? Cheech and Chong Megos?!?

[monitor_ep]

I am surprised nobody as said they are doing a KISS van.

[pmwasson]

Robyn could make a whole fleet of Dharma vans now.
