Vehicles you would like for MEGO 8" scale

[ScottA]

I actually think a Supermobile would be kinda cool.

Hmmmm....

8" scale Destroid Tomahawk. (If only I could sort out the stupid bellows system for the rocket pods....)

Any VW! I have a few that are pretty big, 1/6 scale new beetle, have a 1/6 scale Kubelwagon with 2 12" figures and a ton of accesories, and a ton of vw buses. But a scale westfalia vw bus would be awesome! The barbie stuff just does not do it.

And The tardis would be amazing as well....i have a vw bus thats a panel and thought about painting it like the tardis. Would be a 1/.5 scale!!

Munster's coach and Dragula would be great in Mego scale

Batvehicles, batvehicles and more batvehicles

Yes yes and yes yes yes!!!!

I mentioned the UK TARDIS card holder makes an excellent Mego-scaled addition a few weeks ago. Only problem is it doesn't open up to a playset or anything, similar to the Denys TARDIS, but it still looks cool.:



I would like a real, kooky-looking Spider-mobile 'dune buggy' style, like the one in the comics that Peter Parker detested..



Guess someone made a 3-3/4" custom here..:



I was planning on just customizing a Big Jim buggy.

In order:
Fantasticar ("flying bathtub" version)
Batboat
Flash Gordon "Hawkman rocketcycle"
TARDIS
Supermobile
Invisible Jet
ST Shuttlecraft

And to be honest, breaking with the other posts, I'd like them all in the not-quite-to-scale-toy-looking Mego goofy style -- vehicles that would be comfortable next to my vintage Mego vehicles.

I always liked Luke's Landspeeder and thought it would make a cool 8" scale vehicle

Great call! You can never go wrong with a George Barris vehicle.


The Monkey mobile would be another good one. You could use the KISS figures and pretend they car jacked it.

Batgirl's Cycle, a Bat-copter like in the 60s movie, the Bat Boat like in the 60s movie, a Joker car like in the 60s cartoon, a Star Trek shuttle craft, VTTBOTS Flying Sub, Captain Action's Silver Streak, Green Hornet's Black Beauty (60s series).

OH YEAH!!! They came out with a model kit of these recently so anyone feel like up-scaling these suckers!

'66 Batmobile to scale like Darklord's!

I'm looking at spraypainting/modifying a vintage Joe ATV to be a 'bathtub-style' Fantasticar , just another project for this summer.

I vote for the Tardis what with the Dr. Who coming out. And if Mattel plans on releasing Robin (and I bet they will) they've gotta make a Batmobile.

That brings up an interesting point -- what style batmobile?

Barris?




Pre-Barris 60s comic?




Barris-inspired comic variation:




Filmation?




70s?




Superfriends?



As much as I love some of the 80s and 90s designs (Breyfogle!!), I don't think anything past '79 or '80 would be appropriate for the retro line. And though I love the Barris and Barris-style (the batmobile I watched on Channel 30 weekdays at 3:30 from when I was old enough to watch TV until about 4th grade!), I'd like to see something different, something in the vein of the Filmation car, perhaps.

Thoughts?

I'd love a TOS Shuttlecraft the most..
