    Superman's Fortress of Solitude Playset

    Author: Anthony Durso (The Toyroom)
    Line: WGSH
    Toy Execution: Custom Artwork in Dida Displays
    Packaging Execution: Anthony Durso
    Toy Customizers/Collaborators: Anthony Durso
    Author Notes: To create more play value and extend the life of the WGSH line, Mego creates a playset for Superman, inspired by the comic book layout and artwork. This is still a work in progress, as I'm awaiting some more Dida pieces to finalize the construction and placement of certain panels. This will be a fully enclosed placeset with fold down cover (creating more floor surface for play) and a carry handle on top.

    The splash front (which will eventually be moved to the large fold down cover...right now it's in the back panel):



    When the cover is folded down, the Key Door is revealed. The door, when attached, hold the 2 Dida Triangles in place inside the playset shell. When the door is removed (opened), the triangles can fold out and onto the door/floor.




    Back wall with Super-Computer and Emergency ViewScreens:




    Left side, Super Robots:



    Right side, Phantom Zone Viewer and Projector and Kandor Communicator:



    Left side, Kryptonite Lab and Secret Identities Vault:



    Right side, Super-Weapons Arsenal and Trophy Room:



    Left side, flip side of triangle, Hall of Allies and Rogues Gallery:



    Right side, flip side of triangle, Interplanetary Zoo:

    Very very cool. A must for any Supes fan, or WGSH fan for that matter. I really dig it. vintage mego look at it's best. Congrats. That is Aces, Spot on, and Bravo.

    DO you have a view of it from a little farther away. Like an overall shot unfolded??

    The amount of detail is amazing. This would've been sold out in no time had Mego made this
