Hey! I used to have a similar tin bump and go Batmobile, but my mom took it away when one of the fins got damaged resulting in a jagged piece of metal that cut me.

I still have my Bump 'N Go Batmobile, Michael.  The canopies are in pretty rough shape, and the motor has long since given up the ghost, but its' still in a box in the crawlspace.  I remember as a kid being a bit put off by the round heads on Batman and Robin, and being irritated that the figures weren't removable.

I also had a fondness for the 3 3/4" stuff, Joe.  The first figures I customized were Pocket Super-Heroes.  After a lot of years and a lot of practice, I did this:

edited to clarify:  I wanted the figures to be removable, not just their heads.

Steve and Matthew have some nice collections. It was fun to look over the site and remember the dolls (they weren't action figures yet) that I played with as a kid.  They have much better action figures now days, but those old ones still have a charm!

Michael Cross, I had Tobor, as well! My friend matched his RC car up against Tobor and we had a backyard battle. Tobor was so lame. I felt....ashamed, incompetent as I watched my Tobor try to match the car for mobility, speed, strength.

*sniff*

Damn you, Tobor.

Megos.  Those were my favourite when I was little.

These are the ones I had:

DC: Superman, Batman, Robin, The Joker, Riddler, Green Arrow, Aquaman.

Marvel: Spider-Man, Green Goblin, The Lizard, Incredible Hulk (both 8" and 12" versions), Falcon, Iron Man. 

Ones I wanted but never found: Thor, Captain America , Batgirl, Fantastic Four.

Rarest of all megos:  Teen Titans: Speedy, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash.

Man I loved my Megos. I still have most of them.

My favorite was Batgirl as gay as that sounds! Removable helmet, great
boots, great body, real red hair, and that great side pouch thing to her utility
belt!

I never had all the Teen Titans, but I did have Aqualad, and he was so cool
because he had these great from fitting soft rubber gloves, that conformed
to his arms. Unlike the "oven mitt" gloves on Batman and Captain America
(and others).

edited for spelling
