Got it, thanks

That's a much more extreme example than most I've seen so far. Wonder if it somehow got exacerbated through shipping or by different temperatures?Yeah, no brand should be safe from criticism or vice versa with praise, they all receive it depending on the issue or what they've done well.
I don't see the point in making this a HT vs Jazzinc fanboy war when it's not even about that. People like me and Nick bought the Jazzinc Batmobile, not the Hot Toys, and that's for a reason. We talk about this particular issue because for some of us, these dents are a big eyesore in what is otherwise a masterpiece from Joost. I don't care if a particular paint is off or the bat emblems have weak magnets. I doubt many would be satisfied spending money on Inart's Aragorn with a dent in their face sculpt.
No one here on this forum is bashing Jazzinc or pointing out those injection mold sink defects out of spite or just for the sake of throwing in complaints last minute to mess with Jazzinc. In fact if there were just one or two dents, then whatever. But there's literally large vertical injection mold sinks right at the wheel well on both sides in addition to the other ones running down the body side.
None of this appeared in the prototype version shown off on the preorder page, which either didn't have the issue at all or it looks like they filled up the dents well enough before paint. We would have mentioned it sooner if they were there. But it is what it is now. For reference to any future vehicles, I'd easily skip out on features like the toy sound (do FB people actually like this?) or stuff like shin breakers and die-cast bat disk if it meant more time and money spent on the QC and ironing out the final mold.

I was hit for a customs fee on the 2022 Batmobile. It was @$55-60 as I recall. This is the same price so should be in the same range.Not directly on his site, anything he puts on Specfiction will though. Only VAT is charged if you’re not in the states.
For this, U.S customers are only looking at $1,499 + whatever shipping we go with. I don’t believe we’ll see a customs fee? Has anyone dealt with that on his previous vehicles?
I'm kind of confused why anyone is even continuing to talk about the indentations. They arent changing so just take it to leave it.
Where are you getting these shipping costs from? Right now the only number for shipment to the U.S. that I can find is an estimate of $308 on their site, and that doesn't specify the shipment method. I'm pretty sure that's an outdated number from when this first launched and it assumed air shipment like all previous Batmobiles, but I could be wrong. I'm in Batch 2 and there are no shipping options associated with my order yet.
No they actually sent an email with a breakdown of the shipping options. Not sure if it is batch related but there is a $500 dollar option that ships it via air from the factory and it will arrive in approx 7 business days.Where are you getting these shipping costs from?

I take it that you’re in the first batch? I’m in the 2nd batch and I haven’t received an email yet. Does it say how long the sea shipment delivery will take? Hopefully not too long. When we ordered these there was no discussion of it coming from China and the shipping estimates were for air freight from The Netherlands. At least it sounds like Joost has made sure that the sea shipment prices from China won’t exceed his initial estimates, so I guess I’ll be going that route. I would have paid the $300-ish price for air freight, but there’s NFW I’m paying $500 (33% of the purchase price!) for that option - that’s ridiculous.No they actually sent an email with a breakdown of the shipping options.

I think we were all seduced by the fact hot toys produced the first Batmobile in 1/6 scale….Man I can't get over how much better that front view looks on the Jazzinc version. Makes me wonder what I ever saw in the HT.

It's not really. It's not just criticism about the vehicle, it's the attacks against the company, Joost, content creators being in bed with the companies and various other conspiracy theories.Very disingenuous, almost every hot toys product that releases gets criticized. Let’s not pretend that there aren’t A million comments bashing everything wrong with HT Batmobile.

Questions about the shipping..
Can someone post the breakdown? I wanna know what to expect
And does the email say how long u have to pay off the shipping?
I have all the other jazzinc vehicles but this one seems to be different with shipping from what I’m reading
