MOC: DC Superheroes Racers

[legofreak86]

Holy moly, Oky...these are really great. I hadn't seen your toy story racers, but I love these. Not only is the super hero theme very dear to me, the Batman: Brave and the Bold episode when Mongul makes everyone race is one of the best in the series, imo. These racers are a perfect homage to that wonderful episode.

I voted for Penguin because it's a car that resembles a sliding penguin. It's so simple and brilliant!!

I can't wait to see your marvel racers!!

Like wacky races goes DC!

[Tobias_Jay]

Fantastic ideas Oky! They are all brilliant, I can't pick a favourite! I can't wait for your Marvel racers .

[prateek]

These are awesome. My favourite is definitely Penguin's kart. Just a suggestion, on Riddler's kart, replace the 1x1 purple stud on the front with a 2x2 round plate/tile (if it exists in purple of course).

Can't wait to see the Marvel ones!

[Brickington]

These are great! They remind me of Mario Karts.

[Oky]

Thanks for all the kind feedback everyone! This project is now on Cuusoo, so if you like it, please follow this link and support it!

You did an awesome job making the purple question mark on riddlers car... thats a very clever design mate! Every single of them is AMAZING. I would say to add some more purple and green to jokers car, but im sure you wanted to differentiate it from the riddler's. anyways, great mocs man!

Thanks! Yes, the idea behind Joker's kart was to not make another green and purple car since Riddler and Luthor already have that color scheme and seems it payed off as he is far in the lead of this race! Batman will have to really hurry up to catch up to him.

Thank you! I agree, and I'm glad somebody caught the reference!

Bane's and Joker's cars are brilliant, the latter of which I'm sure would work well as a larger model.

Yes! Somebody needs to get on that!

I would like the DC Comic all star race to be featured in a future LEGO video game.

You're not the only one! Quite frankly, I feel that a new Lego Racers game is overdue, and doing one with licensed themes would make it a real hit I think!

Just a suggestion, on Riddler's kart, replace the 1x1 purple stud on the front with a 2x2 round plate/tile (if it exists in purple of course).

Yes, it does exist and I do have it, but I feel it would cover up too much of the green, making it harder to recognize it as a question mark. Thanks for the suggestion though.

My favorite racers are: Wonder Woman's, Nightwing's, Green-Lantern's, Joker's and Bane's.

Wonder Woman's and Joker's racers look like they both came straight from an old-school comic.

I really like the logos on Nightwing's and Green-Lantern's racers.

I really like how Bane's racer looks just like the vehicle from the Batcave set.

[Ham17]

Love them all. My favourite is the Jocker's. Awesome job Oky

[The Penguin]

Most amusing!

I wonder why my car has a propeller at the back? I sure hope it means that m car is mphibious. So that I can make shortcuts by water buring the race and thus win! Waugh-waugh!

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )

Thank you! And yes, that's what it's for, as the description says.

[The Penguin]

Oh, indeed it does! )

Never read the second part! Good work!

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )

[Capt. Redblade]

These are friggin' hilarious! Great execution of a unique concept, Oky!

I especially like the mini-Bane drill and Freeze's zamboni. Kind of reminds me of the vehicle from 7884.

[nayrsllim]

I love how each of the cars matches the characters perfectly and with such a simple design. You have a great imagination. You should try and do some for the different theme. For instance Indiana Jones, Ice Planet, Exploriens, Aliens, or even the Samurai sets. Keep up the great work!

[TheStrategist]

Can you make an update for the next wave with a racer for flash, man bat, batgirl, etc?

Sure! I'll have to wait until I actually have the figs though.

By the way, thanks to everyone who has been supporting the Cuusoo project! As of this post, it is only 54 votes away from having 1.000 supporters, so please keep the votes coming!

[RelicRaider]

I voted Scarecrow, the design is great I thought, and the chain at the back secured on by skulls was good. Joker was second place for me, with Nightwing third. Really nice job on these by the way, as a fan of the now discontinued Tiny Turbos line, this really reminds me of those sets, but with mini figures.

[StudKing]

The top three has to be Bane's, The Penguin's and Mr. Freeze's.

Hi everyone! By popular demand, I have made race cars for the new minfigs from this year!

I wasn't really happy with my first Riddler car and since TLG made the odd decision to release Riddler in a racing suit, I simply had to make an update for him.

Also, while it may seem very redundant, it was highly requested, so here is a race car for the Flash.

And the lean green racing machine next to him is Martian Manhunter's kart.

Martian Manhunter's kart has a spoiler that resembles the pointy collar that he usually wears.

Flash's car features his signature lightning bolts in the back.

And while Riddler's vehicle is a mini version of his dragster, this one can't hold any moneybags or bombs in the back, at least not many.

On the less colorful side we have three more racers from the Bat-mythos. I updated Nightwing's car to match his New 52 costume.

Man-Bat's kart looks like a hairy beast much like him.

And Batgirl's car is curvy and black with purple and gold accents.

Batgirl's kart has a purple spoiler to match her cape, Man-Bat's kart has little bat wings as a spoiler, and Nightwing has a bird-wing shaped spoiler as before.

I hope you like them. I have added these to the Lego Ideas project which is already at 1684 supporters and it only has less than a year to reach its goal now, so if you want these to become a set, please share and support it!

[rosalind14]

Sheer brilliance!

[KCMatze]

Wahahahaha the bananas!! Brilliant!! :D

[Oky]

Thank you both! I'm glad you like the use of the bananas as lightning bolts.

[Robianco]

I'm assuming you know of these?

I think Digger318 is at least trying to give you credit for your work and original idea... unlike the bootleg company.

[Oky]

Yes, Silent Nomad on Flickr already told me about it. As Digger318 says in the video, I already talked to him and he was kind enough to give me credit on both his videos.

This is quite upsetting. While I am flattered that they chose to copy my designs, I don't like that they are making a profit with it without my (or TLG's) consent, but I guess there's not much I can do about it. I really hope that Lego shuts all these bootleg sellers down soon and that people who want to buy my Racers will support my projects instead of buying these cheap knock-offs.
