Some great figures there. It looks like you're having fun with them, and that's the way it should be. I play with all of my "collectibles" :-P. :-P
I'm on Instagram as kustomjeff if you want to see more toy pics and some motorcycle stuff too. :-P

Having an interest in the old amusement parks, Ian, where did You come across those large ( relatively speaking, of course), illustrations of Luna Park? The figures are great, and I really like how You've done them, but that Luna Park background.......... P.M. me if You would rather not take up space on this board.

Thanks in advance,
Larry

The coloured one is a recent Aussie souvenir "tea towel"/"dish towel" of Sydney's Luna Park, available in their gift shop. There is also a matching b/w one, which is a replica of the original opening day poster (same artwork as the top right card in the Joker/Riddler pic). That wooden framed "box of stuff" was created by me. The big clown art in the centre of that one was from Sydney's Luna Park (vintage early 80s), while the wooden face at lower right is collectible art (in wood) of the Melbourne Luna Park face, bought at a Sydney gallery.

WOW Ian!
It looks VERY much like the Luna amusement park from the early 1900s in New York City. I am interested in old Amusement Parks as I grew up near a place in St. Louis, Missouri that was an amusement park that dated back to the 1903 World's Fair in St. Louis. The park was called "The Highlands" it survived until, approximately 1970 something when it was finally torn down after a severe fire there.
I'll Google Your park to get info it. Thanks, my Friend,
Peace be to You and Yours,
Larry

Luna Park Sydney actually has a Coney Island attraction inside. Opposite to New York, NY, which had a Luna Park attraction inside its Coney Island!

Both of Australia's Luna Parks have websites. Sadly, the Sydney site took away its online shopping option. If you're on Facebook, I can share lots of pics.

Have you seen the Mel Gibson-produced "Three Stooges" movie of 2000? Filmed in Sydney, Australia, they use the outside face of our Luna Park as a stand-in for New York's old venue.

Batman, Gordon and Kitka by Ian McLean, on Flickr

Batman and my newly customised Commissioner Gordon action figures confront Miss Kitka (a disguised Catwoman). Gordon uses a Perry White figure with modified hair and Catwoman is actually a stand-in Lois Lane.
