That's an awesome looking Jokermobile! I've never seen that design before.

Great looking Jokermobile.

obsidian3d and leonmallett, thanks to both of you for the kind words.  From what I have seen for the Batman related kid's meal vehicles, this Jokermobile is probably the nicest in terms of detail.  I'd never seen this version before until I found it at the swap meet and when I looked for it on eBay, I found other Jokermobiles but not this one... guess I was very lucky to get the one I did.  Thanks again for writing.  Richard

Your joker gang clowns have impressed me Richard.

Thanks Rob.  I really like that HorrorClix figure... crazy stuff.  Richard

Thanks to your thread Richard, I've been on the lookout for that Carl's jr jokermobile and have tracked one down on ebay through a Canadian seller,
Really looking forward to painting it when it arrives.

The collectibles traders on ebay owe you a commission 

Regards

Jim

Jim, thank you.  I'm glad I could be of help.  I think you will have a lot of fun with the Jokermobile when it arrives.  I've seen a couple different kid's meal versions of this but this particular version is a great size for the HeroClix figures and has some very good detail for a kid's meal toy.  Richard

A couple weeks ago I found The Penguin’s Umbrella Jet by Kenner Toys in a pile of broken toys at the swap meet.  I immediately fell in love with the umbrella bombs it carried under each wing and since it was only $1 and appeared to be in pretty good shape (I’d never seen one before so I was guessing about that), I bought it.  The big obstacle was the fact that it was intended to be a single-seat plane for a huge figure of The Penguin.  I needed to enclose the cockpit area to allow the impression that The Penguin was flying an aircraft intended to carry several 28mm-size figures rather than only huge figure.  In addition to enclosing the cockpit (I used Evergreen plastic for that), I added a rear/push propeller.  At the swap meet last week I found a broken toy airplane (approximately 1:48 scale) with a good 4-bladed propeller for 50 cents.  I drilled the nose of the propeller out so it would slip over the existing rear projection on the Umbrella Jet.  Once these changes were made I built a stand so the plane could fly (made from Evergreen plastic and Milliput), and gave the plane a new paint job/basically the original color scheme.  I’ve provided some pictures below.  The figure is one of the HeroClix Penguins. I've included a picture of the box lid for the plane in case anyone is interested in looking for one.
