    Ok, I'm all in for these. Batlab and those vans with exclusive figures might be the things I'm most excited to see come from FTC, next to the KISS Dynasty figures. Awesome news.

      Quick question about the van, can the 8"action fit comfortably or are they like that ugly Mego Batmobile that housed Batman and Robin tightly.....i never had the van as kid.
      If these vans are reproductions of the old Empire vans they should be plenty big for an 8" figure. I had the Spider-Man one and if I remember correctly they were a bit oversized so that they could be used with 8 or 12" figures.

        ^^ Aren't the Empire vans different from these? I thought the Bat-Lab was Mego made, not Empire.

          Correct, mego vans very different from Empire which were scaled more to 12inch than 8 inch. Though I did not own mego's vans, I did have the empire ones and they were HUGE even without having the mego ones it's easy to tell they were much bigger.

            Definitely Mego versions being made. I saw mock-ups that included mods for more headroom but I don't know if they are making it into production or not.

              Interesting, I was unaware that both Empire and Mego made vans like this. I sold the Spider-Man one, I miss it, but it was way to big to display easily.

                I never had the Bat lab van as a kid. For those that did....i would like to ask how many 8" action figures can fit inside comfortably?

                        I heard they were suppose to come with figures. How exclusive they are, I'm not sure about. But you are getting figures. I can't freaking wait!!! "Later this year" I'm going to have less money than I do right now. (;

                          As long as they're make a repro Aquaman VS. The Great White Shark, they should do a Batman (Adam West) VS. The Great White Shark

                            Shouldn't Batman be driving?!? Is Robin old enough to drive? He's trying to run the Penguin over. I hope Batman catches him in time! After they catch Pengy, are they going to a Grateful Dead concert?

                              I have a junker Batlab with broken flooring that I've been trying to fix. It's missing a few parts too.
                              May just sell it and apply funds to this thing. It really is something I never would have imagined happening a
                              few years ago.
                              Great time to be a Mego (and Mego-like) fan!
