Re: Hot Toys Batman 1989: 1/6th scale Batmobile Collectible Vehicle - Specs & Pics
I got the Hot Toys Batmobile 1989 behemoth a couple of days ago and only had the courage to un-box it today, if only to see it and pack it right back up.
My impressions are it's one piece of art. You are not going to get another 1989 Batmobile in this size and of this quality again. The effort to get this thing out of the door and shipping must have been humongous and I applaud Hot Toys for attempting such a bold project. This thing costs and arm and a leg which makes owning it hard to swallow, but the cost is understandable considering how big this thing is. The packaging is excellent, this thing was tied down with some serious hardware to secure it from being damaged during shipping. The protective shield is cheesy and made of cheap plastic that is covered with a nylon like material that you have to peel off. The rest of the car though is a thing of beauty, it's just a damn shame that it's such a huge piece that not many people have the room to display it, myself included. I packed her right back up after making sure the thing wasn't damaged and that the LED lights were working correctly.
If you are a Batman fan and you want to own something special and have the room for it, go for it, it's a unique piece that will surely grab a lot of attention. If you are even minutely concerned about the size, don't bother with it, it's too damn big. I was going to do a review of this piece but I couldn't even fit it on the table I shoot my products on, so I didn't even bother. I was expecting it to be big, but I was in for a real shock when I saw it in person, IT'S REALLY BIG.
I'm glad I got it, I hope to one day have room to display it, maybe once I convert the garage to a man-cave, otherwise I'd be asking for a divorce if I had this thing inside the house.
