Title: Futuristic motorcycles
Post by: Braz on February 02, 2011, 01:07:04 AM
Scored extorted these from the kids (they got the chocolate). They come from Kinder Surprise eggs, supposedly a special Justice League version although I couldn't see any marking to that effect. Some sort of Batcycle. They're the perfect size for 28mm, not sure how I'll mod them though.

There's also some 1/60 scale TRON lightcycles available now. Gotta get some of those.

I'll have to have a look for the Tron toy. Is there any others or just the Flynn Model?

Those lightcycles have always looked big to me, but the lightrunner is spot-on:

Speaking of Kinder toys, has anyone ever seen these motorcycles in the plastic?

There's Clu's bike and a sentry bike, but the rider is visible on both of them and is about 1/35 scale. The Flynn bike, since it's enclosed isn't as noticeable. The grid buggy/light buggy is also available and almost perfectly 1/48 scale.

I should have mentioned it was only Flynn's bike that was of suitable scale.   I haven't seen that grid/light buggy around here though. It's nice...damn gotta get one now.

Sorry, haven't seen those Kinder superhero motorcycles before. Nice.
