    Figures are too big and won't fit inside the car. So obvious I didn't even try. I do however believe that the TV Batman & Robin may be converted to the KISS smaller bodies and may fit.

    I have one of these Batmobiles... Let me know if you want to see it in person... I can bring it to work.

      If you take the boots off they fit. Oversized but actually doesn't bug me much. It is a bit of work getting them in there. Also pulling the seat belts out has to be done, and popping the steering wheel off helps while fitting Batman inside, but fits back on once he's seated.

      I'll take some pictures of them in and out of the Batmobile tomorrow.

      Waiting for the enevitable removable cowl versions to display the Dynamic Duo inside of it.

          Kiss bodies are smaller?

              Sorry to go OT, but if the Kiss bodies are "tweener" between the standard 8-inch and 7-inch, would they be the perfect bodies for the older teen figures? Teen Titans, Superboy & The LOSH, etc?

                that's weird, never heard anyone talk about the Kiss bodies before. With all the heads and clothes they sell from that line loose, where are the bodies?

                  I ordered one of the outfits and it fit fine on one of my 8" figures. But the pants were strechy so I don't know if they were smaller or not.

                    Okay, got the pictures taken. I'm not sure the smaller bodies would help too awful much, the only problems getting them in is the legs. There is a lip to stop the 6 inch figures from sliding too far into the seat, so the trick is getting the MEGO leg to lift over the little lip. It's just hard to reach in the seat to get it sitting above the lip, but once you get it you can tell instantly. The arms do hang out the side or you can have them inward but it doesn't always look natural.

                      That looks great, PengyForMayor!...The deadpan expressions of Batman and Robin while sitting in a comedically small Batmobile are perfect for the spirit of the '66 show!

                      Looks like I'm in the market for a Mattel Batmobile now...

                      The Visa Corporation thanks you.

                          I really want it, but legally FTC's hands are tied and they've essentially said they're not doing one that doesn't roll.

                          This is good enough for now, just couldnt live without a Batmobile.

                            Wouldn't they fit in the blow molded Batmobile that came out about 8 years ago that was made for Captain Action?
                            Zombie? Vampire? Evil clown?!? Yes, please.
