    I liked the ideas for these vans when first announced.
    Here is my list from least to most favorite, along with my comments.
    (I wouldn't be surprised to find it works the most to least favorite for others here.)

    Mobile Batman Lab: While my least favorite of the four, I have no doubt it will be popular. It's a great reproduction piece.

    TT Beach Cruiser Van: While I wasn't sure about the concept at first announcement. This is a beautiful design that goes well with the original 4 TT. Just needs a teen size Robin, and it's the 60s/70s all over again.

    Metropolis Mobile News Room: This is one of my favorites because of how it works with the Daily Planet characters, and the accessories available at CTVT.

    GCPD Prisoner Transport: My favorite really only works with the villains. I like the idea of making two GCPD officers and accessorizing out the van with what's available at CTVT.

    As for the next four I would like to see: Joker Mobile, Superfriends Van (for Wendy, Marvin and Wonderdog), Metropolis City Police Van, Mystery Machine.
    IMO there are some of these WB characters that FTC is doing that would work well with these vans, and others that I don't see working at all. Johnny Quest seems like a good idea, but sadly I fear things like Super Van, Wonder Van, Flash Van. Seriously the only WGSH I can see this working with would be a Shazam Van due to the TV show. I also fear things like Penguin Van, Catwoman Van and Riddler Van.
    I hope these vans do well for FTC. I'd love to see a second wave.

        I could go for a Monkees van, it would be a great idea, and instead of an included figure, how about some instruments?

        GCPD van is my favorite, I might buy that one, and pick up a loose 66 Chief O'Hara to go with it.

          What a GREAT IDEA! Love the Monkees Van concept. That would be a really nice addition to the FTC collection. Nice approach pmwasson!

            I'd love a Monkee's Tour van like that.

            Also, aside from the Jokermoblile, how about a Shazam! camper, with exclusive Uncle Dudley/Mentor?

              BRILLIANT idea! I would buy that one for sure.

                ^ Lol Thank you. I'm lobbying hard for Shazam! items; I want the Wizard in the Rock of Eternity (a reworked Batcave), too.

                  Repurpose it as the Batmobile Parachute Pick-Up Service van. The tv show one was a Dodge, but a good way to get more mileage out of the van mold.

                    The TV show camper was a linchpin for production costs.

                      Yes, a bit clever and very cheap when you think about it.

                        I was thinking of a Monkees Van as well. Seems like a natural. Thanks for the pic.

                          I know this might sound corny to some but since we're talking about vehicles and figures current and new,
                          anyone like to see the Partridge Family figures with checkered school bus?

                              How about the A-Team and van? I'd love to do even a custom set if I had the time and cash.
