I like that McFarlane was able to get this into people's hands under $100. It could have had working lights, and more paint, but that would have raised the price. It's nice getting a collectable that doesn't break the bank.
MICHAEL KEATON IS THE BEST BATMAN! AND THE BEST BATMOBILE. I was LUCKY ENOUGH to do an interview with MICHAEL KEATON'S MOVEMENT DOUBLE CARL NEWMAN, over this past year whom actual wore the 1989 SUIT PERFORMING stunts and is also featured in some of the MOST ICONIC scenes/shots from the 1989 film. He worked closely with TIM BURTON as well as JACK NICHOLSON while on set, and speaks about his experience in GREAT DETAIL. Feel free to check it out! I'd GREATLY APPRECIATE IT 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
The scalpers on evilBay keep pulling down their listings because they're not getting $150 or more for these. I'm just gonna be patient and ride this one out.
My favorite pose from any poster or promotional image for Batman '89 was Barman standing next to the Batmobile. Thats how i would display it. It is in this that you can see that the Batmobile is a little out of scale, there is an image of batman next to the Batmobile with his fist resting on the "hood" of the batmobile, With the figure, the fist seem to be a long way, away from that part of the batmobile.
The 1989 film used a created color dubbed "Flip Flop" with a more matte finish that had some purple hues in the right light. In Batman Returns the Batmobile is gloss black.
I purchased the same McFarlane Batmobile, but unlike you. My Canopy was the right color. But you can order through Ramen Toys and get a better Canopy the right color and not as tall . It slants downward to the front, just as the original 1989 Batmobile did in the movie. Plus you get Two Browning Machine Guns and Two Gas Caps that stick on. The kit cost $19.99 plus shipping, I paid $33.00 for mine . I just thought I would let you know about this. I enjoyed your review on the 1989 Batmobile
Nice video. Sounds like they made the canopy grey because the car has aged. That was my take anyway. I did see a cool video of a guy not only repainting the whole car but installing lights too. He reshaped the canopy and did a great job.
I think the spin master one has better proportions, I like mcfarlane but they always feel a little cheep but Under $30 for his figures is better then $50 for Neca, which isnt always better in quality and often breAK, All of my ali8ens figures were either warped, had wire issues in the tails or paint stuck joints.i have had very feiw qc issus with mcfarlane.
The REAL problem with the canopy is the totally WRONG shape…..it should slope much lower toward the front, (Batman will still fit)…. Rear wings seem to be sized ok
tho i have this but i want to customize it to a 2 seater -thats the issue that really bothers me coz its 2023 and we are back to the Kenner area under "Mc-Kenner" waiting fo your next video with that batmobile customization
I am not a fan of the canopy mold. it reminds me of the windows of a banquet hall in a golfing resort. i dont see how spinmasters got the right mold and Mcfarlane out of all people got it wrong. I did notice that when it comes to the front end of the car both brands share the same mistake on the turbine mold being dipped in lower than the wheel covers. i still think the spinmasters car is an improvement over the other 89 batmobiles we have been getting when it comes to action figure vehicles.. i may be wrong on the canopy mold depending on if they changed it in the new movie because after all the 89 batmobile did get destroyed in that alleyway
The render they use on the box is something that first caught my eyes. I went back and forth in the video and noticed things that, yes, are worth customising… but it shows that many elements are either absent or wrong. We’ve yet to see the vehicle as it is in the movie which is a bit of bummer. But I can three things that are worth pointing out: no fuel caps (sometimes black or grey). On the tires, the hub cabs are supposed to be silver. And, of course, the glass of the canopy is oversized. I’m sure it’s to make sure that this is to accommodate the figure in the car… but it is weird to see that. It certainly is an affordable alternative, but far from reaching a level of authenticity. They knew what they were doing by releasing this vehicle before the movie comes out. I look forward to see the improvements… but it’s gonna be an easy pass for me.
To me, I'm kinda bummed that it isn't a matte finish, I don't like how it just looks so reflective and that it looks a little disproportionate on some parts.
I cant get past the fact that its a one seater. I could (shouldn't have to) but could pant thr canapy. I couldnt codt that much to makenit wide enough for 2 figures. Als lo this is actually a 1/12 6" scale. Iron worls who makes a true 1/10 scale and ridiculous expensive versions shows that if this was a true 1/1[ scale and 2 seater it would have to be 28" long not 22.
That intro is now my new anthem

Tbf the Batmobile in returns was pretty shiny too so maybe they used that for reference
They should make a quality RC Car based off this
In short words...
The Batmobile isn't worth buying!
Thank You♡
The that's what she said moment was PERFECT 😂😂
The missing silver gas tank caps hurt :(

waiting fo your next video with that batmobile customization
If you do mod the second batmobile, I would love to see a matte coat done on the vehicle.

Dude, you probably watch too much SpongeBob (and it's a good thing) 🤣.

you are puting batman wrong in the car, you need to tilt batman to the side and put the ears unter the space over the sit
Goodness..That was a great review..the intro was annoying, but an "A" for effort!😂
I subscribed because of the intro.
If you can even get this for $60 lol
Don’t know why people say 60$ getS you a bmobile. I think maybe 20000 people got it for that price. We’re being scalped to hell these days
