8" scale helicopter, car, and figures at Toys R' Us

[gman]

"Squeeze" is the key word ... I think it would look like an adult riding a .25 cent helicopter in front of a grocery store. That's just my opinion from what I saw at TRU.

Any chance yoiu can get a pic of the dune buggy? What colors does it come in? I've had some desire for a Mego scaled Dune Buggy lately.

john i will go see if they still have any left tomorrow . it was cheap only like 5 bucks or something like that.

If you can squeeze a 12 inch figure in it,Than 9inch should also fit!

is it just one seat?

[AAAAA]

is it just one seat?

Yeah one seat cockpit .Its the yugo of flying machines for 12 inch action figures.
Side cargo door opens so you can shove that little snot Robin in the back.

walmart verison
came In 4x4 foot styrofoam display box.with a swamp boat,and bivouac,
ATV, all Under sized for the four 12 inch figures it came with.
But for 39.99 I could not past it up.

That is interesting ... I wonder if they will be at my local TRU!!!

I bought this, but I've determined that it is NOT really Mego scale. The cockpit seems a bit big. Also too small for 1/6th scale.

I have, however, given it over to the community (me & my 9 & 11 year-old kids) loose Famous Covers pile. We have almost all of the FCs and Hasbro DCs that we play with and generally set up in poses for fun.

The 'copter is perfect for them. The controls fit like a glove into the hands of Hasbro Punisher, and I'm actually thinking now of customizing a Nick Fury and some SHIELD agents FC-style to do it up right.

It also has some really cool effects, such as lights, sound, and a gatling gun that turns and is LOUD. The kids like to have Batman or Punisher fly it to attack Hulk.

It's fun and worth the $25! The figures that come with, however, are bizarre (teeny-teeny heads, molded-on clothing, and almost NO articulation), and even my kids hate 'em.

LMAO!!!!!

That's too funny, thanx for made me laugh!

[thunderbolt]

T-bolt,

IMO 9" figs are to big... I really think standard megos are also to big... Definately Lionrock custom material. However the jump-pack looks perfect for my 40K Space Marine I have on the workbench.

Guess you guys are talking about two different things. AAAaA's sounds big enough, gman's doesn't. Maybe AAAA likes to eggagerate everything?? :D
PaT, if you'd read everything, you'd see why I questioned Quad A.

no, I've got the copter in 05 from walmart, it came with the 12 inch figures,
its the same thing.
I go to my Storage bin and get it.

Yep, but I just goofy around here.

8" Mego Scale = 1/9 ?

I'm trying to get / build a Cool looking R/C ride for AJ so my son and I can rediscover the 1970s!

What exactly is "Mego Scale"? Assuming AJ represents a 72" (6 foot) man & he's 8" then that'd be 1/9 scale, correct? GI Joe is established as 1/6 for a 6 footer.

AJ actually strikes me as being 5'10" which makes him 70" which would be 1/8.75 scale...1/9 scale is it, right? Did I get my math right? (I was busy thinking about AJ's adventures and such when I was taking math in 4th grade!! )

If I've got it right, a jeep should be 14.75 Inches in length for 8" Figures. Anybody have AJ take R/C rides???..find any good vehicles? Any info is welcome! Thanks!

[AAAAA]

If you use 6 foot ,8 inch times 9 feet divided by 12 inches = 6feet
the gay toys car 17 to 21 inches & is your best bet or any car between those measurements
so 8"X9'/12=6'
17" X9'/12" =12.17'

[Meule]

I'll be impressed when I can find a Bell 47 helicopter - or something that resembles it - for 8" figures

[AJ-Paratrooper]

1/9 scale, correct?

If you use 6, foot 8 inch times 9 divided by 12 = 6
the gay toys car 17 to 21 inches is your best bet or any car between those measurements
so 8"X9'/12=6'
17" X9'/12" =12.17"

8" Megos are considered 1/9 scale, correct?

Pardon my ignorance, but I did see a gay toys car on e-bay...this is probably gay as in happy, I hope???

I came up with the jeep measurement from the specs of a WWII jeep which is 132.75inches / 9 = 14.75 Inch Jeep Length Car for 8" Figure. A jeep being shorter than a car would make a 17-21 in car accurate. Gay toys....hmmm, what the heck?
