Do you want to see Vehicles and Playsets for the DC Retro line?

[samurainoir]

I'm sure most of us would love to see a Batmobile at least... do you want an exact replica of the original or modified slightly or completely updated?

Transparent Plastic Invisible plane for Wonder Woman? 70's style Supermobile complete with big metal fists? Batman's Whirly Birds? Redbird? (Contemporary Robin's car) Aquaman's saddled Seahorse?

Fortress of Solitude? What style? Big Door with Key? Crystal Movie style?

Rerelease of the Hall of Justice and Batcave or updated? Joker-mobile? Mobile Crime Lab? Batcoptor? Batcycle? ClassicGreen Arrow Car?


Quickchange phonebooth?

GREAT WHITE SHARLK?!

[Trappy Trek Freak]

I would like to have a newer Batcycle and Batmobile. Superman doesn't need a vehicle neither does Aquaman. Aquaman needs that big ***** shark!

[huedell]

I wouldn't want to see any of that stuff for a long, long time...seems like
right now it'd stretch resources too thin...I'd want them to focus on figures.

If the line was such a big smash hit that went on for years, then, yeah,
it'd be cool eventually but for now...I dunno.

Invisible Jet!!!!!!!

Invisible Jet!!!!!!!

I'm told that every Mattel figure includes a piece of a collect and connect invisible jet.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I'd love to see those happen.

[Brown Bear]

Now that I'm 35, I find there's no place to store/display these playsets, even though I'd love to see them.

I've seen tons of dida displays I'd love to buy, but having my basement filled with these big playsets is not really realistic for me. I have the Trek bridge on my movie shelf and that's about it.

[SoulSinger]

Definitely. My kids play with these every day!

You finally believe me.

The more tie-ins the better, I say. Batmobile/cave, of course, but I love the idea of a Superman phone booth, a WW jet, and anything for Aquaman--a sub, jet-ski, shark or seahorse would be lovely.

[AAAAA]

What I perfer, (and was going to do)is a generic corvette car in different ,from American plastics
and let the collectors and kids customize with stickers that they can purchase on there own.American plastic said the'll do it but I have order 10,000.

[boynightwing]

I don't really have the room for them, but I'd enjoy seeing a Batmobile.

I think the era of playsets is behind us, and I hate saying that because I'd love to see it happen. Especially a batcave. But the only way it would happen is if the line proved to be insanely popular with kids. That or there was a groundswell of support from collectors... and I'm actually surprised how little enthusiasm is shown among that group. I mean, yeah, space is an issue -- I get it -- but we're not talking about the U.S.S. Flagg here! No one's threatening a whole series of playsets that would devour an entire room and make your wife divorce you.

I wish companies would get creative on this front -- offering build-a-set pieces (like the Playmates Star Trek bridge), or making generic pieces that can be re-used across different toy lines. Heck, Mattel can already do this! How hard would it be to slightly re-tool Barbie's dream house, give it a new color scheme and turn it into Wayne manor? Attach a vacuformed shell to the back and have a batcave?

As long as the people who are actually buying these show ambivalence about it (i.e. "yeah, it'd be cool but I probably woudn't buy it"), it won't happen. So, I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm going to have to build one myself if I want one. But smaller vehicles like the Batmobile should be in the realm of possibility... here's hoping.

Ditto.
The only vehicle that would interest me as a collector would be a batcycle.
But then again,if wave2 is released with the same body,I would see no interest at all.Having a crooked batman riding a motorbike on my shelf doesnt sound appealing to me.
