Cars and Spiders

Hot Wheels car with spider markings on it.
It's from a TV show, that I don't watch.
I got one of these same cars a while ago, one in pink.
Girl spider, and boy spider cars.
Maybe Batman 66 Black Widow and perhaps her consort.
In a two episode story arc, consort would likely appear in only the first episode with Black Widow.

Batman Vehicles

Batmobile from the TV series Batman.  They only used one vehicle in the TV show but it was modified a few times.  At the first it was painted flat black.  Over time they added a cutter to the front of the car.  And they also changed up the pin striping color and locations.  Hot Wheels has made dozens of variations of this vehicle, in a couple sizes.  All the 1/64th scale versions will interchange the interior, wheels, body, and window glass.  They are easy to take apart and easy to put back together if you want to swap parts.  This one was taken apart and given a different body version.
Stately Wayne Manor from Funko Pop Town series of buildings.
Jada Batcycle, one of two versions.  The first was a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with sidecar.  This one is a Yamaha with sidecar that carries a dismountable go cart.
Batboat was made about the same time as the Batmobile and there was no real coordination between the car and boat makers. So the boat came out blue and white while the car is black.  Model by Hot Wheels.
The last TV show vehicle is the Batcopter.  It is a real flying helicopter modified with a special paint job and bat wings.  The helicopter still exists and still flies.  The FAA made them take the wings off however, because it reduced lift too much.  Still pretty cool that it still exists.  This is by Hot Wheels and can be modified to a large number of other versions, mostly by removing the wings, which is simple, and repainting.

Batcycle

Generic 1/72nd scale figure with the Jada Batcycle.
This Batcycle was built on a Yamaha Catalina 250 motorcycle.
The sidecar carried a go cart that could drive off of a ramp and Robin used it to deploy to his side of the Batcopter.
This is an excellent model and the markings are great.
I have two of them and I am considering making one with the removable go cart, or making the combo with a Batman and Robin figures riding them.
This set is not exactly rare but it is not new either so it can be hard to find.
Looking down you can see the go cart sort of nestled into the side car.  The go cart and side car are cast as one piece.

Joker Mobile and Batmobile

Jada makes this set that at first glance seems too small for my 1/72nd scale figures.
It is true they are tiny.
But they are nicely detailed.
My intention is to try and find a Hot Wheels car that  looks at least a little like the Joker Mobile and see if I can cobble one together, using this one as a guide.
These two cars will end up in my Batcave Batmuseum as display vehicles.

Of course the Batcycle is another matter entirely.

Stealth Batman

Batman is always developing new gadgets.
The new Bat - Stealth - Drone.
Small Batman markings top and bottom.
Small, black, and able to evade radar, to spy on the most sophisticated criminals.
A new weapon in the war on crime.

It's a die cast toy that is very small for my 1/72nd scale air forces so I repainted it and repurposed it.  Now it has a new life as a crime fighter.

Still More Anubus

A good action figure.
Missile weapon which is nice so they are not limited to close combat.
Pretty large bow so likely good range and armor penetration.
Heavy pole arm.
This would likely be a very dangerous close in weapon.
Many of the figures have multiple weapons.
This whole set is very nice, I think.
Ten poses does not seem like a lot, but it actually not bad for such an unusual subject.

More Anubus

These Anubis figures are 1/72nd scale but are a bit larger than most human figures of that scale, which I think is fine.
They come with a nice selection of weapons.
They should be easy to paint.
Most of the figures are pretty active.
These could be good cultists, particularly in a pulp game that takes place in the first 60 years of the 20th Century.
I like the dog tails!
A little flash on the elbow but it's so thin as to be clear and it not hard to remove.

Anubis

Dark Alliance makes a big range of various horror and fantasy figures.  These are their Anubis Army set.
I don't do much in the way of horror, but I do like to have some Ancient Egyptian stuff in the collection.
I use it for GI Joe Adventure Team, (Search for the Mummy's Tomb), The Mummy, (1932 and 1999 movies), and King Tut from Batman 66, as well as potential Afrika Korpse scenarios.
These figures have a little flash on them but it's not too hard to remove it.
Lots of good action poses.
They could be used for Stargate games also.
The figures have nice details like the feet and hem of the outfit.
I know very little about Ancient Egypt so I can't speak to the accuracy of them as warriors of that era.
They do have a nice dog face look.  But the figures are not so canine specific that they could not be a human in a mask.
