If I were to get one,I'd get the green one, put question mark emblems all over it and it would be The Riddlers,but all good ideas here,many I would have never thought of

[D!n0-M@n]

I'm thinking of doing an updated Joker van (green roof, purple body)

My exact plan as well

[PNGwynne]

It's wonderful reading everyone's ideas, I think LaserMego will be buuuuusy.

[ScottA]

This is all kinds of cool.

[TrekStar]

Endless possibilities with these vans, especially the white van, I think FTC will sell out on white real quick.
did I mention a Charlie's Angels van? Mod Squad? Magnum P.I. remember TC's Island Hopping tours?
just some thoughts outside the hero realm.

I just wish I could have an idea for Star Trek? not many vans in space.
Maybe a Harry Mudd mobile filled with galaxy girls for the lonely souls on those mining planets.

not many vans in space.

Spaceball's Eagle 5?

[Goblin19]

I'll definitely try my hand at a Green Goblin van at some point. Can't wait to see everybody's work.

[dcohendmd]

that's awesome!

I really like the FF Van idea, all gizmo-ed out by Reed. like this concept design for the movie that they didn't use

Didn't see the new FF movie (I got bad vibes from it from the initial info on it) but this concept is way cool. I could see attaching some gadgets on the outside for a FF special purpose van.

Myself, I'm thinking blue van + white top = a SHIELD mobile field response vehicle. Now to rig up some SHIELD agents...

BTW: Does anyone know how these are put together? If the interior is one piece and it snaps onto the body you might be able to color-coordinate the interior with the outer shell for a more custom look. I remember a lot of the off-brand 70s vehicles usually had this as their concept for design. If this is how they are assembled (and I'm only assuming it is) then it would also be easier to paint them if you can take them apart.

Also, one last thing: Patches of Pride specializes in making custom 1/6 patches and a lot of different repro stickers. Someone might want to check with them to see if they items available to customize their vans with. I know they will make specialty stickers and patches on a one-on-one basis but you have to personally check with them if they do not show it on their page.

I just got a couple of the vans (blue w/white roof and green w/black roof) and they are very nice. They are well constructed and roll great. Unfortunately, the wheels are the same color as the van as shown on the website (I was hoping they would be black).

[PNGwynne]

I'm surprised by the wheels, I assumed that was just lazy photoshopping.

[Brown Bear]

I'm looking forward to seeing the first few custom jobs completed on these.

Does any one know if CTV will being making the search light, Captain America's harpoon gun and some of the other attachments that went on the original Mego hero vans Tops?
