Suggestions for future 1966 Batman TV Series Playsets

[TrekStar]

I like the idea of a Commissioner Gordon office playset, but you would need a custom Gordon to sit behind the desk.

I also like the idea of a villain hideout, with certain accessories for that particular villain and the Wayne library room
with sliding wall and Bat Poles.

But with the talent of some of the members right here, they can make there own playsets, with better quality material, someone's already making a Cheer's bar that's coming out really nice.

Wayne Manor with the sliding doors to reveal the Bat-poles would be great, as would a Joker hideout (perhaps based on the Joker's Last Laugh (with the playing card symbol doorways)), or that idea for Batgirl's secrete HQ.

But honestly, I'd be content with a reproduction in the regular line of the Wayne Foundation building. Been wanting that set since I was a kid.

A wall climbing playset needs to be done. They could throw in a random overstock celebrity figure like the Skipper or a Stooge. All kinds of new Mego Figures could be used on it too.

You could make that with one visit to a hobby shop that sells train scene's. Just buy a wall to the correct scale, add some windows that open and add whatever figure you want. It would make a very nice display.

I know from the title this is supposed to be about Batman.
But I'd still love a Wonder Woman playset with one side being IRAC, One side being Paradise Island, and the upper level being done with just clear cut-outs of the Invisible Jet with a couple of clear chairs!
I'd also love to see Superman's Fortress of Solitude with a Daily Planet side with a simple desk and type writer.

I would be content if they would redo the 66 Batmobile to a true Mego scale that the figures fit in and it looks like the real car. The mego Batmobile is too small, bulky looking and not accurate. Wouldn't it be cool to have your 66 Batman and Robin actually fit in the Batmobile.

At present a friend of mine with a 3d printer and I are "attempting" to get the correct scale so we can print one. Lots of trial and error.

Maybe this is too....out there....generic villain lairs...done as a 3 wall vertical colorforms set. Vinyl walls and "sticky" decorations...including sound effects and such. Each villain could have their own wall and sticker set...

an actual playset please..not cardboard

I wish!!!
Can you imagine how much they would charge for an actual plastic playset if they are charging this much for laminated cardboard?!? scares me to think of that price tag. I'll make one myself. You would be amazed what you can do with chicken wire and papier mache, Christmas lights and paint.

I would say a building wall face toy with windows where Batman and Robin could climb the Bat-rope, and celebrity figures could pop out of the open windows.

That, and a Catwoman lair of some kind.

Maybe a rocket bike that was in one episode. (or bike-like rocket that figures can sit on, I think there was one on TV)

Conveyor belt, with working crank. Kids could use old boxes to customize the outsides as they wanted, and a pool/vat complete with ladder, diving board (? or what ever it might be called). The upper vat, with working faucet could be filled with bubbles or goo.

Giant umbrella! *Fireworks sold separately.

[powersthatbe]

would say "Villian's Lair" with cardboard sound effects like "Pow!" and "Zowie!" and basic accessories that are tied to like the joker or riddler.A Villian Trap for our heroes in peril.with a never done character included like colonel gumm or falseface.

[KOMonger]

Marty mentioned in one of the recent videos that Mego had their old playsets (cardboard/vinyl-covered) done in the US due to cost.

Fully realized playsets don't sound feasible due to cost. They even brought up the subject of the fan-backed Jabba's Sail Barge as an example of how costly it could get.

Gordon's Office, Barbara's apartment, Bruce's house, The prison and exercise yard, minimum 4 cells and Warden Criten's office, with an 8 inch scale comic action heroes style device...Great ideas...I really cant think of that many locations or types of locations that were seen more than once. Each villains lair was pretty unique, but maybe the broken elbow from the movie and the penguins submarine...mybe even double sided like the Munchkinland/Kansas playset...

Most of the lairs were 4 (3?) brick walls with villain specific accessories brought in to decorate/cover them. Do a basic 3 walls and then use reversible accessories- one side for Joker, the other for Penguin, and so on. Color was the main thing that defined each lair. Mr. Freeze's lair would be the hardest to replicate in this format.
