This is why I didn't understand the question, because homage =/= crossover.

I thought this guy was meant to be the first crossover (with the GIJoes):

I had toy cars like that in the early 80's. It was just a common super future car design with a turbine in it.

I'd say that doesn't count since it wasn't released.

Beast Wars Megatron is a total color palette swipe from Barney. You know it's true!

Not only is his whole stomach green but he even has the spots on his back. Image

How much was that one?

Also, what number is yours? Mine is 094. There weren't even twenty vendors at that botcon and there were 1700 "Batman repaints" made for that botcon but nobody knows if out of those there were 100 dealer exlusives, 150, 200?

Fairly inexpensive considering. I think I paid only 100 or so after shipping

I think 70-something. I'm not near it at the moment. Oddly enough no one I've found seems to know how many dealer Exclusive versions there are out there, at least not that I can find at the moment.

It has been a little while but I'm pretty sure they didn't tell the vendors how many they made.
