I found a 1:18 scale Hummer HX Concept car at a discount store. A few left over Vamp and ROC stickers later and viola! Vamp Command Car. Unfortunately the figures don't fit inside. Other than that I thought it looked pretty cool.

It looks great! The wheels and grill look way better than what hasbro uses.

I just found one of these too! Marshalls FTW. As for making the figs fit, I remember a couple years back when these first came out that someone on this board unscrewed it and moved the seats back. They might have had to get rid of the back seats to do it. If I remember right I think theirs was red and they were using it for the crimson guard.

In order to get Joes to fit into 1/18 vehicles you usually need to cut down the seats until there is nearly nothing on lower portion of seat; also the seats usually have to be moved back but not always. The lower portion of the dash board may have to be cut as well as the floorboard/firewall where pedals are. All this being said for Dio purposes 1/18 vehicles look more to scale and realistic that 1/16 vehicles.

Marshalls huh? I might need to pick one up. Too bad the figs don't fit, but not surprising since they're not really 1:18 anymore.
