The second car is for my brother. I stoopidly gushed too much about the one I’m getting. He decided he wanted his own and pulled the classic Little Brother whine: “Get me one, too!”

I had no choice.

Then I stoopidly told him about the Catwoman figures and…

Still ain’t finding those choices. I hadda preorder him his own double deluxe duo w/ dio package.


Uh, but to get back to your original question, yeah, I will be doing both an ‘89 and Returns display. Only one will have a Batmobile, though.

It's not me a problem. It is a factually unethicalthing to do. No reasonable person on earth thinks its appropriate to treat a test batch product like a final offering.

Woo-hoo! Just got the shipping notification for my first ‘89 Batmobile and expect notice for the second one shortly.

I watched all the vids, read all the comments and am still amazed at all the vitriol being sprayed around in here. Chill out people. Where are the moderators?

I know I’m not alone in being excited to get this

Thank you again, Joost, for making this dream come true. I can’t wait!

Can you tell me what all changed between the test batch and the final release? I was under the impression it was just the packaging and rubber insert for the canopy.

Are the dents, floppy gearshifts, loose canopy, and orange peel paint only a test batch issue?

JazzInc said:

I am sorry but let's not start creating more new issues. The canopy fits perfectly and can be removed so you can fit a figure in there (much harder to do otherwise) and the gear shifts are within spec and were never up for debate to change

He’s not referring to how flush the canopy is,
he’s referring to the actual rock and dip it has when touched and pushed back and forth.

You know this but decide to act oblivious.

If you need,
there’s a review on a page back or so that clearly shows this. Your “canopy legs” don’t lock in anywhere.

If a loose gear shift is up to standard, I have no business complaining about a canopy that appears it’s out to sea…

Wow, you're an amazing Big Brother! Good on you. It should be a great Christmas for both of you then.

You haven't told him about the seated 89 Batman figure yet have you? The final sculpt shared on the Jazz Facebook page looks terrific. You may have to get two!

At this point I think we’ve all said our piece - criticisms and praises. There’s enough information out there now for people to make up their own minds. May I humbly suggest we be happy for those who have decided to keep their orders and maybe take this thread in a more positive direction? I think Jazz has done some really good work on their seated Batman accessory. Has anyone else seen the final sculpt posted on the Facebook group? I think it’s a great likeness to Keaton and an improvement over the prototype. For those who are keeping their orders, will you be picking one up?

Is it a private group? I can't seem to find that.

It is. I’ve attached a screenshot.

This is the gear shift issue I’m referring to, from one of Kevin Fuentes’ reviews of it, he shows it at the 56:50 mark:



Sure, I get that they just have to move, but it’s just another thing that gives it a cheaper feel. It looks broken.

The focus on the gas cap and gear shifters in that review were a bit pedantic in my opinion. I rolled my eyes when watching that. lol

I wouldn't be playing with the gear shifters at all, so why does it even matter? The more important aspect of it is how is it painted, and what does it look like, not the functional aspect of it. The Jazzinc is more accurate looks better overall. As this would be a display piece, I'm more concerned about the visuals of the console, seats and cockpit in general. Jazzinc is clearly the best in that regard.

What looks cheap to me, is the general plastic appearance of the HT Batmobile and the screws in the fins. That just kills it for me, and why I couldn't go for either version.

To each their own, but when it comes to a shelf queen, Jazzinc is by far the better looking vehicle.

The difference comes down to one basic truth:

One is a toy and the other is a piece of art.

One is meant to be played with. One is not.

Don’t matter whut the kids want to do with em!

If you think he should give a final review of a test batch product like its a final release then you fundamentally dont understand what a test batch is. This isn't an opinion. Its an agreement between manufacturer and recipient, that we are TESTING production, and if there are issues we will fix the product you recieved.

I honestly don't think you understand what a test batch is. The things done well on a test batch can be praised- because they have already been ironed out at the factory. The problem areas are not to be openly criticized but instead discussed privately with the manufacturer because the social contract and purpose is that they are actively using this batch to identify the problem areas to remedy. That is why you dont criticize the issues but can praise the things done right in a test batch. That is how they factually work.
