Prätkähiiret - Seikkailu Chicagossa - säännöt

Kiitoksia Shaoxille skannaamisesta.

Seikkailu Chicagossa on 1994 ilmestynyt Prätkähiiret-aiheinen lautapeli ja kokemuksesta voin sanoa, että sääntöpaperit ovat olleet aina hukassa.

Dr. Karbunkle and Fred the Mutant

Dr. Karbunkle and his mutant creation, Fred The Mutants come in pairs. The figure pack doesn't contain other items than the mad alien scientist and his creepy pain loving mutant creation.

The figure doesn’t have any ball-jointed limbs, his arms rotates around, he doesn’t got movable legs, instead he has cut on his waist and it also rotates from side to side. He also has the tube going from his waist into his brains as the cartoon character has.

Also Dr. Karbunkle's Transport teleporter was turned into an figure/playset. It was sold separately though.

Fred The Mutant has tiny button on top of his back. By pushing it, his face falls down and brains jump out. He has ball-join on his arms but not in his legs. His legs can be rotated around. His wolf tail also rotates around.

Sorry, I don't remember where I found this info-card. If you know, please tell and if you have more of these, sent them over. :)

Basic Figures

Basic figures are the figures that look similar to the characters from the cartoon without extra outfits. ( for reference check out Astro Bro's serie; the bros in their spacesuits or FreedomFighters: the bros in colorful camo-outfits. ) Even some of the colors used on their outfits are different as seen in the show.

Figure series consist figures from the heroes, bad guys and vehicles.  Bad guys and Charley are the basic series characters that haven't gotten any alternative clothing or vehicles.

They were manufactured by Galoob in 1993.

Good guys:

• Charley ( only seen as basic series )
• Modo
• Throttle
• Vinnie

Good guys' vehicles:

• Modo's Mondo Chopper
• Throttle's Martian Monster Bike
• Vinnie's Radical Rocket Sled

Bad guys:

• Lawrence Limburger
• Dr. Karbunkle with Fred The Mutant (  yes, these two were sold together )
• Lectromag
• Greasepit
• Evil Eye Weevil

Bad guys' vehicles

• Greasepit's grunge cycle

Charley

Biker Mice's human friend, mechanic Charleyne "Charley" Davidson got herself turned into an action figure. She's also only female action figure in the 90's BMFM action figures.

Her appearance as a figure does vary quite a lot from how she looks in the cartoon. Her hair-style and tomboy outfit has kept. She has gotten huge silver earrings from some odd reason.

Her working blouse is red and she has light blue jeans and black boots. In a cartoon she had light blue working blouse, black jeans and brown boots. Plus greenish tool belt on her waist.

Figure has joints on her arms and legs. Legs bent from the knee but there's no joint on her elbows. Even her head is separated it doesn't much turn.

As an action figure she has also gotten huge gun. There might actually be at least three different looking guns. In promo shoots she has had grey one with insides red and white. Other one that was black with transparent bolt and the gun's insides have been red and yellow. Third one has red bolt and insides are red and yellow.

Gimmick of this "laser gun" is that it has a knob on it's back. When rotating that it makes not only funny sound but also lights the guns' tip.

Gaboob's brand and year of manufactured can be found from the middle of her back.

Even though she is been seen in almost every episode, there has been at least two, where she hasn't been present but where she has been named though... She hasn't gotten any extra outfits like bros have. -Neither has Limburger when he too has been changing outfits & disquises often.

Manufactured: Galoob
Year: 1993
Series: Basic figures, good guys

Myth: It's not certain if there had been neither of her bikes modeled into figures or not. In the cartoon she had her white-blue Harley Davidson styled bike and  she had another one that she had self build and which she used and tested when she had disguised herself as masked motorcyclist.

Astro Bro's

Astro Bro's serie for short introduces Biker Mice trio, their bikes and Rimfire in their space suits. This series of figures was manufactured and marketed in the year 1995- .

Space suit idea might have come from the episode Where no mouse has gone before. Where bros ended up in Plutark and when they came back with Plutarkian spaceship they had a fight against Limburger with spacesuits that Modo actually stitched up for them and with space kites. Rimfire weren't in that episode.

Vinnie's bike also looks like similar as if having it's armor over it. Some fans have pointed out how the wings of the bike look like ones seen in episodes.

Modo's bike doesn't look like it's been turned from his Lill'Hoss at all but as if it's modeled after Thunderpipe, the spaceship that the bros crash-landed in the Chicago with in the very first episode.

Total mystery is howcome Rimfire got selected as a part of Astro bro's serie. ( Though I'm glad they did pick him again. ) Another mystery is that were there any bad guys in this serie or not.

Year: 1994

Figures:

• Home-Run Throttle

Freedom Fighters

Most likely inspired the bros' mysterious years as freedom fighters during the war against the Plutarkians. Though the figures were dressed in similar looking uniforms as they had in flashbacks and eventually in Once Upon time on Mars.... they ( and bikes ) were colored extremely bright camo patters. -Though if they had the dull army colors, they might have not been sold much..

The series consisted from the bros, Rimfire and Napoleon Brie. For some odd reason Brie was included and introduced as a part of FF-serie even his character was nowhere to been on Mars episodes. Or mentioned...

New vehicle introduced was The Sky-Commander, the kite that seemed to form The Martian Air-force during the episode. ( Once Upon Time on Mars, part 3. )

Strange that such key characters like Carbine, Harley, Mace or Stoker weren't turned into action figures? Carbine should have been turned into a figure sooner... She made her debyte in Back to Mars trilogy episodes... and she is officially Throttle's girlfriend after all. ;)

 

Figures:

• Tail-Wippin' Throttle
• Commander Modo
• Rad Rebel Vinnie
• Rimfire
• Napoleon Brie

Vehicles:

• Sky Commander

Planet Hoppin' Modo

Modo's been dressed in armor type of space suit that has red and violet with golden details and shoulder plates.

His right hand isn't the basic figure's shape, it's shaped after Freedom Fighter serie's Modo's. The bionic arm is fully violet. Unlike Freedom Fighter Modo, the arm cannot be moved by pressing a button from his back. ( There is non. ) Neither the front arm has the rotating ability to turn it on the more correct shooting position. It doesn't have opening laser cannon feature.

If put shortly; arm has new look but it works like old one.

He doesn't have his usual chest armor in his figure... that part is attached on his helmet and weapons. Helmet and weapons are mainly red. Weapons were the kind of ones that were kept on his back but they bounced out when pressing the middle of the chest plate.

The figure doesn't come with the wings though... Wings are from his bike Crater Cruiser.

I would love to see his figure bio card... and the bikes as well... Does anyone have?

Modo's Crater Cruiser

Modo's Astro Bro's bike looks totally different than any of the other figures of Modo's bikes. In fact it looks like the Martian Thunderpipe ( the spaceship ) that the bros crashed in Chicago in the cartoon.

It has different design but the bluish violet color that's connected to Modo is there. For sure this bike is no longer the Lil'Hoss model that we have seen before. This is something else. This is something new. This is Modo's Crater Cruiser.

The bike has movable wheels... It's front wheel can be pulled out so it's appearance changes a bit into more chopper alike bike. Also when the front wheel gets pulled out, it reveals laser canon inside. It can be lifted up.

Each of the Astro Bro's bikes have wings. Wings in Modo's bike are put on sides and can be opened.... and either kept on the bike or gently removed and added on Astro Bro's Modo's back.

How I love this bike of all the BMFM figures... It just is.... coolest thing ever. Both figures seen in the pictures are bought used from auction.

Action figures

Figures by Galoob:
In the 90's BMFM action figures were mainly manufactured by a company called Galoob. They manufactured many different play sets; figures and bikes in different outfits and colors. I haven't taken a look about BMFM2006's action figure's manufactor but I doubt it's not Galoobanymore who has produced them.

How to recocnize the manufactor. You can recocnize the action figures by the Galoob's mark on their lower back or waist. There says Galoob and year of manufactor. In the motor bike figures the mark is on the plate on the back wheel.
On Mega Mouse serie, there is not brand of who has manufactored them.

Modo's DuneRipper ATV

Modo’s Off-road Bros’ bike Dune Ripper. It has been colored with bright yellow and green and it has tiger stripes at the back. Basically it does look just like basic model of Modo’s bike but this one has been put on four wheels and under the mouse head there is a huge cannon. Front wheels move downwards to so the front part of the bike can be lift sort of front or kind of pushed downwards. Cannon uses same long grey ammos as Modo’s hand gun. ( One that comes with basic Modo figure... ) In promo pictures also cannon has been silver colored.

ATV bike has been seen in the serie couple of times. In epsode We’re going to cheesyland. In the clifhanger the bros were cruising on the beach with the their bikes that had been lifted on four wheels. For the second time they were using four-wheeled versions on their bikes in Lake Michi gone to be able to fight against Mudfish Murdock.
So I assume that The Off-road serie of toys got the idea from the two episodes. However their off-road costumes were not seen in any of the episodes. Oh, and the bikes were their normal colored bikes in the episodes when they had the ATV mode. By the way it was Charley who had tunned the bikes up on the off road mode.

Bike in the photos is one of the many bikes and figures that I have bought from Finnish auction site huuto.net. Only the front part is a bit opened and the ammo was gone when it finally arrived to me. With this one there was an interesting mix-up. I bought this bike but got FF Throttle with his bike instead.... <..<' All got sorted out though.

Modo’s gift set bike

Nothing really special in this bike. It looks exactly like the violet bike figure but this one’s chrome parts are golden. Weapons rise up by pushing the button on top of the fuel tank.

In gift set also Modo’s clothing appearance was different color. It is black with grey boots. Figure and the bike were sold in one packet.

Serie: Biker Mice gift set
Figure to go with: Gift set Modo
Manufactored by: Galoob
Year: 1993

Bike in the photos was bought from Finnish auction site huuto.net in some point of last year. It had a sticker glued over the mouse head and other of the gas pipes was broken. I recall that the person who sold it did drop the price from it a bit.

This evil being also has the gift set's Modo to go with the bike, though I don't remember did it come along with this bike or not... Most likely it didn't and I was puzzling what sort of serie does he belong to. x'D

Seriously said I was delighted to know what gift sets were sold even in Finland. I have spot Throttle and Vinnie too but haven't been able to caught either one yet. -Or thei bikes... <.<'
