Re: Hot Toys Batman 1989: 1/6th scale Batmobile Collectible Vehicle - Specs & Pics
It is too short, it isn't rounded enough, the side slotted intake area is too flat looking, especially on the rear quarters. The overall shape just doesn't flow like the real one. The little louvers on the front fenders look too crisp and not rounded enough, and they look a bit shallow.
The edges on the side of the car are too sharp.
The front bottom lip of the jet intake is twice as thick as it should be, which, right off the bat, makes it look like a child's toy. Also note how it is much pointier and looks rather pinched compared to the real one which is much more rounded and wider from side to side. See pics.
The bullet on the jet air intake is too rounded looking and should be pointier. see pics
The slotted air intakes on the sides are sculpted wrong. the openings should be larger and the bodywork surrounding them should be thinner.
Even with the car being shorter to cut costs,I see no reason why that front lip of the intake should be thicker(unless it is to reduce the chance of breakage, which is what you do to reinforce the shape of a child's toy, in which case on this, that part should be made of metal if necessary to reduce damage. There is no reason why the bodywork surrounding the side air intakes should not follow the overall contour of said intakes. Instead, there is a sharp corner there. There is no sharp corner on the real one. on the real one, it is rounded and follows the curved shape of the slot.
What about this doesn't look like the '89 Batmobile? Also, what about this looks like a toy?
