I have tried and tried to find a 1/10 scale car/truck but have always come up short.

Too bad I suck at painting otherwise, I'd consider army building those Ghost figures as mercs or random goons.

And thanks for the link on the Bentley. Do you think SH Figuarts Tony Stark could fit in it? He's just under six inches tall.

I wonder if there's any RC cars that are 1:10 scale, they'd probably just be hollow shells with RC guts inside but they'd make good scenery!

The painting was just brushing black over the mask- skill level:01 Almost anyone could do it with zero effort! As for the bently... well here's KO figuarts Luke going for a ride. Important note is that I dismantled the car and cut the floorboard area out to get a little more leg room.

That doesn't look too bad. Luke looks a tad too big inside it (his head shouldn't be above the windshield) but it's one of the few vehicles that I've seen that can actually hold a six inch figure so I guess I shouldn't be too picky.

Putting him in an actual ML wave would essentially be Hasbro saying, "Sure, we're could add another figure from Marvel's huge stable of characters, but screw that, we're gonna put in one of our characters." Which, you know, isn't really a wise move to pull on a franchise line owned by another company.

ROM is even more complicated. While technically Hasbro owns him, the original Parker Brother's toy designers still hold some "Creator Rights" to him. So they need to be cut in on any use. So there are extra rights and royalties involved. Something that tends to discourage what would already be an expensive figure.

There are some other weird backroom rules and rights issues with Rom and the Micronauts that still crop up with some of the tertiary characters that are not directly pinned down by the named toys. Such as Bug. Marvel created Bug (sort of) but since he is loosely tied to "Galactic Warrior" they are limited to using him in the comics. And somewhat sparingly. Some rights issues prevented him (or rather dissuaded Marvel) from being used in the GotG movies or cartoon.

I am just Hoping that Mezco makes that new Batmobile they showed. Fits 1/12 Figs.

They're all pretty much the same, just with different accessories.

I'm expecting it in the next wave of the Vintage line, tbh.

@ faelon:

Ah, so that's what it is...I was wondering what had happen to Bug in the MU. So I guess my dream of having the Marvel roster of the MICRONAUTS will likely never happen. It was one of my fave comics in the 80's. I have Takara Tomy's Aceoyear, Commander Rann and Baron Karza (which are all different sizes and aesthetics), but I'd love to see Marienette, Bug, Fireflyte, Huntarr, etc being at least brought into the MU proper, but they might be still associated with other companies . Shame. Time to find a custom methinks.
