Nice! I picked up a couple of classic He-Man from Super 7 when I was in San Diego 2 years ago.

Cool! All the previous releases were tempting to me but I don’t want to deal with the hassle and cost of getting them. I was really happy just collecting the MCX since they are cheap and don’t take much space but being able to grab these was a treat.

Classic.  When I was a kid I never owned anything from Masters of the Universe, Thundercats, Silverhawks, C.O.P.S., M.A.S.K., and some others.  There were just too many cool 80’s toys to have them all.

Going back to Batmobiles, I just bought another 1/50 scale 1989 Batmobile for pretty much retail price.  I need to get another 1940 Batmobile to add to my loose 1/50 scale collection.

I don’t buy figures o don’t care about too often but the frustration of Target’s website trying to get the other figures I wanted drove me to get this just because it was the only one I could get.

It’s not bad and I like the torso articulation that is a lot like the original ARAH figures but I just don’t care about the character and even less so for this version that looks nothing like the character it’s supposed to be.

@Rogueload dropped by today with the X-9 he built for me (thanks!!!!) and picked up a VF-0A w/ Ghost I sourced for him. So, the Plus shelves (Yeah, I know the Advanced is Frontier) got a little re-organizing. Pretty good for a quick first draft. I'm going to need to spend some time staring at it before I figure out what I really want to do.

Mission accomplished!

Not happy with the pic but wanted to share something quick. The figure is all the shiz! Lives up to the hype and definitely a great figure. I still put Deluxe Snake Eyes above it but it's tough to beat Snake Eyes. My only criticism is the dumb pegs in the guns that also don't fit well in the holes in the back like Snake Eyes' backpack but at least I can hide them by using them as side grips. Also kinda wish the chest insignia was a removable part and it came in white and red so I can make a more proper officer. I need more of these but it seems pretty hopeless.

Yep! All I can say is it was a bitch to get and the time I spent trying to order it is worth WAY more than buying it on eBay. I refused to give in though, lol! Baroness has been impossible for me still though.

Very cool! I like how the raisers elevate the chunkey-mokeys at the back. Great display.

Can anyone tell me about that animated batmobile, with lights? Tekerin posted it among the other batmobiles. I can't find iton Ebay.

Look up DC Collectibles Batman TAS Batmobile.  Here’s a picture of how the box looks from my collection.

Is this the massively huge one that fits the Animated figures inside? I was referring to the one @tekering posted, which looks way smaller than the one you posted. Or is this the one @tekering posted?

OMG I took a closer look, and noticed, that those are indeed huge. I htought they were all on a table, but now i realized there are sitting on the floor. I never knew they made a huge 1/12 1989 batmobile, OMG. I should have gotten the animated one when it was onsale at BBTS :( I thought it was too big for my displays... Thanks for info guys, my eyes tricked me, wow.

The one that you’re asking about is the DC Collectibles Batman TAS Batmobile and it is 1/12 scale with lights and can fit figures inside.

 

Actually I thought they were those Jada[?] ones which come with figures than wont fit inside. I just wanted a companion for my 1/18 scale 1989 hotwheels version. It appears there is no 1/18 scale TAS version. Bummer. Honestly this thing is way too massive for me, I think. [not what she said]

What's the point of having figures if you can't fit them inside?  :huh:

The Hot Wheels version is closer to 1:22nd, actually.  You can never trust the stated scales with Hot Wheels...  Just look at their "1:50" Star Trek ships.  <_<

Oh, it's much bigger than you think...

As sh9000 pointed out earlier, it's actually 1:6 scale.  :wub:

Seems to be a forced perspective shot but something looks off about the pic.  Still a very good attempt though.  The 2 in the back are 1/6 scale, the 3 in the middle are 1/12 scale, and the one in the front is 1/18 scale.

There’s a larger selection of Batmobiles in 1/24 scale that come with figurines.  There’s also a larger selection of Batmobiles and Bat vehicles in 1/50 scale.  

I really hope someday a diecast 1/18 scale BTAS Batmobile gets made.

That 1989 Batmobile that was shown is 1/6 scale.  That Batman TAS Batmobile that was shown is 1/12 scale.

A 1/18 Batman TAS Batmobile has never been made.  I would want one too.

If you want all of your Batmobiles in scale to each other, then there are not many to choose from in 1/18 scale.  There are a lot more in 1/24 scale, 1/50 scale, and 1/64 scale.

Yeap @sh9000, I just gave up on the batmobile idea altogether. I'll keep my 1/18 or 1/22 whatever it is, Keaton's Batmobile until they make a similarly sized TAS Batmobile. I am not in the position to make unnecessary non Macross, or non Star Wars related purchase. I have pretty much given up on Takara and the transformers. I may just need to find a select few 3rd party characters, that are fun to transform, look the part, and call it a day. They way things are going i might have to get rid of my chug transformers too. I gave up on Neon Genesis, and other minor collections I had. I'm just keeping Bandai's Akira bike, and my Swordfish II, outside of Macross, Transformers and Star Wars.

On another note, that Jimbao oversized KO devastator looks pretty boss, and it is not horribly expensive. I wonder if any of you got it, and could tell me if it is worth getting. I have the MPP10 Weijiang Prime, and he is fabulous to say the least.

Yes @tekering, I agree with the concept of having your figures inside your vehicles, but I've always liked the image of batman standing next to his horse. Just like you did with your picture, and good job in adding the logos BTW. I do like my star wars figures to fit in their vehicles, even if the vehicles are not properly sized, unfortunately.

I am just trying to enjoy what i got, and I am trying to display my collection. I am trying to cut down in too many parts of my collection sitting in boxes, doing nothing. I wish Takara would have kept up with the main characters we are missing, but it takes forever to get anything to fill my G1 collection, and the prices just keep skyrocketing. It is like they lost their way or maybe the cost of making these bots is just too much these days? Anyway, that's my humble opinion, maybe i am wrong.

Edit in: i think this covid19 situation has impacted some of my decisions. Before All this started, I had no Interest in selling part of my collection. I usually display things, then put them back  in the box, and display others, then repeat. My job has slowed down quite a bit as a result, and i am sort of annoyed. Pardon me if I appear negative in any way. I really don't mean to be.

After seeing sh9000's Mazinger Zaku II Batman I had to have one. My first superhero (please don't let this get out of control, please don't let this get out of control, please don't let this get out of control).:D

Annnnnd another horrific Focker knock off for the Focker army. This one is epic junk!:rofl:
