Piranha Car

Piranha Terror car by Hot Wheels.

I am working on my own Batman 66 villain.

Surfing and Polynesian themes were common in the early 1960s.

So I am doing a villain I call The Tiki.

He is a jungle themed villain.

This will be his official vehicle.

I know that the piranha is a fish from the Amazon, but the motif looks very Polynesian to me.
 

The Tiki Lair

My plan for the Batman 66 villain The Tiki involves using items that are off the shelf as much as possible.

The giant pineapple and leaf fronds came from Dollar Tree.  The figures are Airfix Tarzan, and the vehicle is Matchbox.

Perhaps this is a fast food kiosk, with a little step up for the customers to talk to the man inside and take their orders.  Or is it the lair of the criminal coconut The Tiki!!??

The Tiki runs a fleet of "legitimate"??? catering trucks with a Polynesian theme.  Is it a front for The Tiki, or has The Tiki infiltrated a legitimate business?

Drummers to entertain the diners, or loud noised to confuse and confound the Dynamic Duo? 

Only time will tell, citizens.
 

Petco Tiki

Pet stores can be good places to shop for terrain.

The fish and reptile sections often have buildings, ruins, and rocks that are perfect for wargaming.

I got this Tiki at Petco recently.

As part of my Batman 66 collection I am building all the villains that appeared in the TV show.

And all the villains that appeared in the Batman 66 comic books.

And I have added one more villain of my own called The Tiki.

He is a Hawaiian themed villain who will hit Gotham City like a hurricane and destroy it like a tsunami.

This hollow tiki is about five inches tall, is fully painted and has two massive jeweled eyes, just the thing to draw a super-villain to the museum that houses it.
Stand by for more King Kamehameha Mayhem!

Tiki Transport

This is the Matchbox Chow Hound in an Hawaiian theme design.

With this purchase I now have three of these vehicles in this color scheme.

My plan is to use this truck with a Batman 66 villain that I have developed called The Tiki.

He uses Polynesian theme elements in his wardrobe, vehicles, and lair.

Volcanoes, lava, wind and waves might be a part of his arsenal of weapons to use against the caped crusader.

Naturally with all the museums and art galleries in Gotham City at least one of them must be having a Pacific Ocean or Pacific Island related bit of art, jewelry, or other item of interest to a criminal master mind.

And what better way for him and his gang of Tongonese Thugs to get around than a catering truck with a Pacific Island motif?

These are large trucks and with an impressive menu of options.

Perhaps there is a luau at Stately Wayne Manor?

Maybe Commissioner Gordon's daughter Barbara Gordon is cutting the ribbon at the unveiling of an ancient and jewel and pearl encrusted tiki statue?  Tune in next time for the big reveal!
