    Dida Drawing Board: Legion of Doom

    So help me out here. I've working on this painting for the front panel of the LOD playset.



    I'll show pics of the inside and how it will work later, but for now my question is this:

    Should this be the other outside image? Do you really want Black Lightning and Apache Cheif and those guys? Since Joker wasn't in the show should he be excluded, even though you'll probably put your Mego Joker in the playset?

    He could be shown on the side panels, along with the other Bat and Spidey villains.

    Obviously Mego didn't make any of the SuperFriends villains pictured on top (nor some of the depicted heroes..), so that can measure your criteria for inclusion..

    Why would you put Spidey villains on a Legion of Doom playset?

    Well, if you totally focused on LOD, fine, although nearly none of the villains were even made by Mego, so what's the point...? I figured it would make a nice overall villains hideout.

    Along your lines, why would folks here display Spidey in with DC characters..? Most photos here have both Marvel and DC characters featured, unless it's a Baxter Building or Wayne Manor shot...

    You can tell I'm an expert.

    Yeah, I dunno, on my HOJ I customized the group to include only heroes Mego made, hence no GL or Flash and teh addition of Batgirl and Shazam. But the LOD lineup is pretty great and it does seem like people make customs of them a lot.

    No Spidey, but I really need to do some Marvel playsets. This is ridiculous.

    No Spidey villians, but I would be fine with DC villians. I mean Riddler is in there originally, so it is still logical that Joker would be around someplace. Still, I would be fine with a strictly show based theme, that includes Black Lightening, and Apache Chief, and Samurai.

    I don't think it was until much later that I realized it was "Vulcan"
    instead of "Falcon"

    And then I was like waitaminute---is this some kind of "Trek crossover" thing?

    Anyways---it's cool thi sproject is being worked on.

    I say go hardcore HB COTSF with the graphics.

    THEN if the mood strikes afterwards---make a totally different
    playset based more on the comicbooks---a "Citadel" playset, or
    whatever the heck the villains used in the comic run of SSOSV

    Kinda---like "in for a penny---in for a pound".

    Joker and Myxylpltlk and even Penguin cameos from graphics from
    their HB appearances around the same time would be a cool add--
    on like viewscreens or something--you know---subtle stuff like that
    for character graphics that may be "borderline" for inclusion.
    When I .... how do you say (?) .... think of my mindframe on this spaceplane, I'm Skywalker with my X-Wing like I was when I was a kid.
