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

[david_b]

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.

Hate to say, but TOTALLY agree with you and the others.. I personally don't have kids (..well, two german shorthairs..) and being, um, 46, I won't be getting any playsets soon.

I LOVE my action figure lines, please don't get me wrong, but it's a bit more discreet at my home, most are packed and gotten out every so often for me to reminise with. I have my various Marvel/DC posters up here and there, and have my Trek/1999 figures down in my Guitar Room.

{'Course, that being said, I still drool over and have to somehow grab the Dida FF Baxter Building, which I'd assemble/disassemble when needed..! That is SO COOL.. Still trying to come up with ideas about a Fantasti-Car..}

Hell yes!!!

I'd love a new Batmobile and Batcycle and vehicles for the villains. And playsets, oh yes, more playsets

1966 tv batmobile!!

I think this would be a pretty big seller. Not sure anything else would, though I'd buy others.

Space is an issue for me too, but if the thing were collapsable, I'd buy it!

A 60s Batcave, a properly scaled Batmobile and Batcopter (maybe even the Batboat!) and an invisible jet for Wonder Woman.

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.

What a brilliant idea! Particularly in this age of "Custom Culture".

It worked for the Empire Vans and Coptors! Why not for vehicles?

I can totally see folks pimping it out with "Bat Fins" or mounting big Joker heads on Squirting Flowers on it..

Vehicles are highly unlikely; folks who collect the DC Universe 6" figures can't convince Mattel to try it, and those have supposedly been doing well for a couple years now. Getting new tooling out of Mattel is like trying to get a compliment out of Simon Cowell.

The playsets, though, might be a possibility if done like the old days, like the Enterprise set Diamond was soliciting. Vinyl covered cardboard with a minimum of plastic pieces requiring molds would at least have a chance with Mattel. A Fortress of Solitude would need a giant key and maybe a few other pieces, a Hall of Justice (though likely without the teleporter action), the Batcave, Hall of Doom (imagine the meeting table made from the same cardboard and vinyl), even the hall on Oa (if they make short body and give us some Guardians) could be done that way. And they'd be very much in the spirit of the originals.

^And, cf. Dida, they could be relatively compact & have a dual function as carry-cases.

Would love a Batmobile and a Batcave.

Would def get a couple of those!

I need a repro Hall Of Justice where that transporter thing actually works right. The windows on mine were off the tracks and I could never get the scene to change properly... That being said I'd love repro and or updated. I'll take what I can get. Love the Dida designs stuff too....

They HAVE to produce a Batmobile. I'd love an 8 inch scale exploding bridge playset as well. I can dream can't I?

A Hall Of J without the teleporter would be a total waste IMO. Maybe they could do a Justice League Sattelite instead but isn't there a transporter type device there as well or no?? Hmmm, can't recall, been a while for me and the JLA....

[DocDrako]

I'd like to see an updated and improved Batmobile, perhaps the Superfriends version. I'd also love to see a playset of some kind, mostly because my son would love it. Hall of Justice, Hall of Doom, Batcave, whatever. More toys for my son and I, Mattel!

[Krypt0nite]

I'd love to see a Batcycle--it would make the removable Bat-helmet actually make sense!

[TrueDave]

OF COURSE! :-) !!!
