Re: 5 generations of Batmobile at Chicago car show

They had a nice 10-12 ft diameter '66 style Batsignal shining on the wall opposite the display and music from the show and the movie playing at the display as well. Fun photos! Thanks for sharing, Sir! Looks like you had a blast. Was the ...

Re: 5 generations of Batmobile at Chicago car show

I saw some photos from this event online over the weekend! Very cool indeed. I think the majority of us here have a pretty strong preference as to the star of the show, but that said, there's something pretty darn impressive about seeing all five of those vehicles side by side.

Some are speculating it is this Robin from a '66 Joker episode.
Innnnteresting.

Re: NECA TMNT Lab Diorama - could be converted to Batgirl’s hidden change room?

OH man! This is a great option for those who are into customizing. Very tempting indeed! If McFarlane give us a Batgirl Cycle, I will definitely be looking into this myself. Thanks for sharing!

This crossed my mind, so I went digging for dates. Here's an excerpt of a letter from Dozier to Burgess, dated July 13th, 1966.

Re: 1/8 Batmobile Mego scaled from Fanhome

Interesting, most likely the perspective of the photos, but the wheel to hood scaling of 1/8th looks pretty whackadoodle next to their 1/6th counterparts.

The Subs? No

Vest 1? Feels legit, but further scutiny and comparison images are needed to confirm.

Vest 2? Absolutely.
