The VW Camper Van. What were Mego thinking?

[johnmiic]

The funny thing is, I could see it working for the Fantastic Four, don't ask me why, maybe its the amount of seats. Somebody should do a custom.

The Fantasti-car, flying bathtub, is roughly the same shape and size as a VW van. If someone could make one that splits into 4 it would be cool.

Those are wonderful! Great looking AJs accompanying the vehicles, too!

Two? You have TWO? Love it.

I loves me some veedub; yessiree. I have had several life sized examples and the Mego version is sublime in all its incarnations.

I have to say--seeing as how this is the first time I've seen a good pic of the AJ van--it'd made an awesome Fantastic Four or even Cap A./Avengers vehicle.

Are they scarce?

My partner used to own one of these, you were lucky if you could hit 50 miles per hour in one.

The only saving grace that Joker must have had while trying to escape in one of these is that Bat Man could only match the same speed in his own Camper Van . It is one of the most bizaar uses of a vehicle for a Super hero.

Sometimes its nice to be wrong about these vehicles, absolutely loving the Mego VW camper vans

[Meule]

I love the VW vnas. Actually I wouldn't mind having one myself so make into a real life Batlab.

Now that would be cool

[MegoMark71]

if they did sidekick cars maybe, robin and his lecar.

[D!n0-M@n]

Its a good thing Mego didn't create a Pinto for AJ and Dinah Mite.

Or a Pacer.

Bruce Wayne is very wealthy so he could probably afford to get bmw to supe his up

Or Porsche considering they and VW are basically the same company.

Hey before anyone gets me wrong, as a vehicle I love the VW Camper van especially the early split screen version on which these mego ones are based. It just one of those odd ball mego things that we will discuss until we are all dead. Bruce Wayne is very wealthy so he could probably afford to get bmw to supe his up (;-) lol

i wish I had a V.W. Van too

Me too.

I can't look at one without picturing it covered with painted flowers & peace signs and a bunch of fringed-vest, colored-sunglass wearing, long-haired hippies rolling out of it!

You mean like this?



or this?



Howzabout this one?
