OOOO.... If thats 1/6th scale I bet thats gonna be a Batmobile for Henry's Batman. Am I close?

[casimir]

I know! I know! It'll be a car for the Banana Split Gang!

*cricket*

*cricket*

(Does anyone besides me remember them?)

Sing it with me now. "1 banana, 2 banana, 3 banana, 4..."

I'll be quiet now.

I know it'll be a rockin' Batmobile or something else cool.

Drooper, Fleagle, Bingo and Snorky!
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la! Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la!

That would be cool, but the Banana Splits' cars were more like dune buggies!!

[Figuremaster Les]

If you get the old GI Joe six wheeled adventure vehicle, (I had one as a kid...dagnabbit!) now that could make for a Banana Splits ride!

Now, just what is this car for? Looks like a Batmobile in the works to me....

TRA LA LA, LALALALA! TRA LA LA, LALALALA

The Banana Splits actually drove AmphiCats. These were also used in SPACE:1999. For those Mego collectors amongst you check out the Action Jackson AmphiCat as it is exactly what was used to travel "Over Hill And Highway" by the Banana Splits. Sorry to sound like such a dweeb but I have actually just finished a major article about the vehicles for a magazine I often work for, Cinema Retro.

(By the way! I love THE BANANA SPLITS and have a whole 'bunch' of them on tape. I also have the UK annual and the View-Master reels too. You are not alone in your admiration of the classic show Cas!)








I'm reckoning a pretty neat looking Batmobile is on the way Will!! I would guess the 1964 Corvette style vehicle which superceded the earlier sedan style with the glass dome top.

[casimir]

Okay, Martin knows WAY too much about Banana Splits than is healthy!

But at least I have suceeded in my evil plan: all of you will be humming the theme song for the rest of the day. Bwa-ha-ha! Of course, so am I, dagnabbit.

(Sorry to sidetrack the thread, Will.)

"OH OH CHONGO!!!! It's DANGER ISLAND next!"

As directed by SUPERMAN helmsman Richard Donner.

Remember that?

[Figuremaster Les]

Danger Island!? Oh, yeah!

Will, see what happens when you post a pic of a lemon yellow sports car on here?!?!?
We get all Bananas on you!

And yes, Cas...THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I can't get that theme out of my head now. Thanks really. No. REally. ;D

(Love that shot of the monkey in the car...he was my favorite, whatever his name was...(was he Chongo?)....something about that grin... ;D ..that was a fun show...and I was right...that was the old GI JOE Adventure ride...)

So, uh...what's the car for Will? It's not a customizer's rorshach test is it? you see where that got you...

[faithfulbutler]

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD CAS!"That's just nasty.

I'm intrigued Will,rather than speculate answer me one question:Is this new Custom for you or a Client?

[BlackKnight]

Thank god the Banna Split Gang was ahead of my times! ;D

[aburabusimbutu]

Balderdash! You don't know what you were missing!

It's a personal challenge from me to me?
I may slap it on ebay once finished because I feel a collector may appreciate it more then I.

Great shot marty, really takes me way back boy-o-boy!
I used to love the over the top sound effects on the show when they would run around bumpin into shit. ;D



Is that series available on DVD these days?

Long custom car, caped masked figure.
