Mego like sized vehicles data base

[livnxxxl]

Adding to the ever growing data base we have here....

This was one of those hopeful vehicles that just isn't quite Mego scale although it is close and with a little imagination and some modifications it will work.

Many of you have probably seen these in your thrift store journeys here and there.

This is actually a really cool M&M's car/candy dispenser.

After what seemed like removing 100 "tiny little screws" later. (This thing was built to last) I was finally able to disassemble it and remove the red and green M&M characters.

I think the Fonz looks pretty cool standing next to it. It reminds me of Fonzie's jalopy car.

Great Additions Toyman C. From the foto's, It looks like you place is becoming the Hertz rental car place for Mego's!!! The Bratz sportscar is AWESOME!!! Any year of Production given or is it a "Still on the shelf" item?

Thing finally got his sled! (Thank you Rescue Heroes)

Got another car for Brick's ever growing fleet. I can say that the Bratz cars are freaking perfect!!

I have seen knock off Barbie corvettes with radio control that had room for the dolls. My thinking was to cut a mego batmobile into 4 pieces and glue a piece to each corner, bondo the gaps together...

Has anyone looked into what off-the-shelf R/C toys in the stores could be used as the basis for Mego vehicles. As an example I eould like to be able to buy a R/C car and discard the body and put 2 seats and a Mego scaled car body on top. Say like putting the Mego Batmobile body right on and driving it around.

This is as close as you can get to what your asking...

The Jeep body is not originally Mego. But note how the RC Chassis rides on it. The RC chassis have alot of bulk to them, Battery compartment and electric components. In this case a 4x4 style doesnt seem to suffer from the lack of chassis space given. In order to conceal all that RC chassis under a Batmobile body. The best I could suggest is to get a smaller RC car. Cut it driver to passanger side. Then add a spacer piece between the RC halves and extensions for the wiring. Also you'll still need to find room for the batteries. I've seen this done on GI Joe scale vehicles but it would be a PAIN on a smaller scale like the Mego Batmobile!!!

To the very best of my knowledge no one has as of yet. However, I like your idea and I totally understand where you are going with it

I have seen RC cars in 1/9 scale so I would not rule out the possibility. Of course the correct wheel base will be the biggest issue. I will see what I can do to try and make your dream a reality.

p.s. TO ALL - BTW - I have some more stuff to add to the database within the next couple of days.

I was thinking it was 3/4 of the way there to the Batman Beyond Batmobile.

This isn't a Batman Beyond car as is? What is this from? Where'd you find it?

Monster High Dolls Draculaura's car...Saw this at Walmart today and looks like it is really close to Mego scale. Could go a lot of ways with htis one...

It would make a nice batmobile but with a little tweaking it could be made into a Catwoman Coupe.

The Brickmobile.

Perfect Brick Mobile!

Another Bratz Vehicle. This is an RC Vehicle (Forward and turn in reverse style)


From this pic you can see the excess of room in this vehicle. I'm either going to extend the steering wheel or beef up the seat.

I just got this beauty from a really cool member here of The Museum. You may have seen it before not long ago. Now I am adding it to the database.









This is actually a liquor decanter and it is a perfect size golf cart for Mego's. The golf bags come off of the back to reveal the cap underneath.

I will take more pictures and post them later.

That is pretty cool looking in an odd kind of way. I must find one of these. Thanks for adding it to the database.

Ditto! That looks sweet.
