Types of Jails

Could someone post pix of the varoius Mego jails?

I'd like to get one to accessorize my Batcave as a detention cell, but I'm unsure what's specifically available. Didn't the POTA playsets have a few types with cardboard backdrops & molded bars, as well as a fully molded one available separately?

Thanks?

Yes.

From the Fortress playset:


From the Forbidden Zone playset:


From the Treehouse playset:


For some reason the galleries do not have an image of the stand alone cell. There was a guy in the Marketplace that had two of them for sale last month.

And here is a cool post about a Work in Progress.

Thanks, Scott--very helpful!

The Dida Hall of Justice is what inspired my post. That cell is awesome!

I was thinking of the Treehouse jail, I guess. I suppose if I can get a set of bars at the marketplace, I could even have Mike Rogers do a a custom backdrop that matches the Batcave deco.

How is the Forbidden Zone jail set up inside?

The two sides are part of the cardboard shell. The back side is a three piece section of plastic bars like the front in the picture; the left and right sides are slimmer than the front bar section and fit between the top and bottom plastic frames of the playset, the middle section only has two pins and can swing open like a door. There is a "wooden" beam that fits across the two narrow outer bar sections holding the center door section in place.
Above the jail cell there is a trapdoor in the cardboard floor.
