Hope this is the appropriate place because they are not HW and not Batmobiles... Just found a few on evilbay - there seem to be lots of variants, including this one I thought was VERY weird - a "Spider-man" Lincoln Futura. WTF? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/JO...1e58d73fb9#ht_500wt_1097 Since when was it ever a "Spidermobile"? How does a Marvel license end up plastered on a Futura, of all things? Anyway these cars seem fairly plentiful and fairly cheap. Considering buying one (not the Spider variety though). Anyone got one and want to give a review?

Since I collect all things Spider-man, you can bet I have one of these. JL had the Marvel license and stickered many classic vehicles with Marvel Universe Characters - Daredevil and Punisher were most visible. Unless you like these oddball variations or have money burning a hole in your pocket, the Black, Red or Light Green are the ones that have relevence. Tony Moe used to convert the black ones into our favorite car for about a year.

There are also some variations within these. and the Spiderman version showing the graphics in detail click for larger and someone recently made this nice blue flamed Futura kustom.

(Special thanks to Joe Nest for sending me the Tony Moe conversion car, Joe and Tony are the best!) Last Edited By: 66BAT 11/05/09 8:54 PM. Edited 1 times.

I'm a bit of a purist so think I'll try and find a red one. Not a fan of the paintball look or the Spidey one. Hey if he were to drive this I'm sure he wouldn't want his secret identity plastered all over it too, eh? LOL. The customs are nice.

It probably will cost the most also, but they usually are reasonable.
