Mattel to release the only Batmobile that matters

[K-Tiger]

Okay, that's hyperbole. '89 Burton Batmobile is best mobile.

Saw that yesterday and my wallet weeped.

 

[Videoviper]

wonder if it can be modified to fit 4" figures.

I've always dug that one for it's very simplistic look. Almost like an early 60's Lincoln.

Which is funny, since the '66 Barris Batmobile was based on a '55 Lincoln concept car.

However, it pains me to think of Bruce Wayne slumming as part of the blue oval brigade

Pffft...Matthew Mcconaughey seems to think they're just fine. :trollface:

Batman's now an Uber driver.

"Yes Alfred, it broke down after thirteen thousand miles, but fear not, I have Ford Total Care. Just two more, and my third tow is free!"

 

[Giga Bread]

"No Alfred. I didn't fire up the flame thrower, it just caught on fire."

NIIICE! 66 is my favorite and I have several versions, but I have to say, I paid like $70 for the TRU DC Classics scale one, but I never use or photograph it. It's still so friggin sweet. Also have the 1:18 tumbler, but I think the scaling may be smaller than it should...

Anyone see these yet? I had them both in hand at TRU the other day, but put them back.. Now I'm kinda mad at myself for not getting Grundy.

I saw both of them at WM yesterday, and the sculpting on batman is so bad. The pin-head with giant neck just doesn't work. Mattel appears to be in the 2007 GIJoe diaper-crotch stage of action figure development. So in a decade, they might be able to produce a worthy 4" figure. Right now, it's just a little sad.

Sumbitch I don't want 6" figures...but...but...

 

[K-Tiger]

I looked into this line but quickly deduced that full investment would be too rich for my blood. Any b&m retailers carrying these?

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Was there a price on that thing? I've got a full line of 6" DC figs.

 

[K-Tiger]

B:TAS Batmobile? $99.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

<—— idiot. READ! It's right in the first post!

$100 doesn't sound too bad considering the Hot Toys BTTF Delorean will be $600-$700. Though, that's 1/6th.

 

[K-Tiger]

It has lights and sounds, and room enough for two in the interior. Bat's can get it on with Catwoman or the forthcoming Phantasm figures.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

POW! CHICA! POW! POW!

Imagine my words look like these.

Plus the first wave was rife with QC problems. Lots of broken joints to the fact that Mattel had to issue a technical release detailing how they'd be correcting the joint design/materials going forward. Doesn't help anyone that dropped $20 a pop on them though.

I skipped them, not because I didn't like them, but because of my experience with JLU figures. They look great. Getting any of them to even remotely stand up on those tiny Bruce Timm ankles/feet was nigh impossible.

 

[K-Tiger]

These actually come with doll stands. I can't front, these would make one hell of a display.

 

[nacho]

No question, I love the look of them, but my shelves upon shelves + bins upon bins of DCUC figures are screaming "no more, we surrender!" at me.

 

[K-Tiger]

I can definitely understand that.

 

[ShipShape1983]

I just want the figures based on the FOX Batman cartoon designs.
