1/6 Batman 1989: Batmobile Collectible Vehicle - Specs & Pics

[Spanbauer]

I’m more than happy with my hot toys 89 Batmobile.
I count myself lucky to have it & its the one piece in my collection hand on heart I would never sell.
Im a batman nut but I wouldn’t be interested in getting another one if jazzinc made one.
The hot toys is more than fine in my eyes

Yeah I’m sure a JazzInc version would be vastly superior but I’m not going to try and sell the Hot Toys one for the opportunity to buy a better one that costs 3-4x as much.

The HT one isn't great, especially by today's standards and one could probably go on forever on the inaccuracies and the plasticy-looking aesthetics and Jazzinc without a doubt will put out a far superior product with more care and love given than HT ever did.

That said, rising cost of living and an uncertain economy, I'm perfectly happy with the HT one for the rest of my life.

I'd feel the same if I had the HT one and got it for $500 or whatever it cost at the time.

Since I missed that boat I'm hoping Jazzinc make makes it. Rather pay $1500 for the best possible version than $900 for the HT on eBay.

It’s been a while that the HT isn’t 900$ on eBay…
Now it’s more 1500-2000$

Yeah one just sold for over $1800-without shipping.
So glad I got mine on release

 

[sj2106]

Yikes! Even more reason for Jazzinc to make this.

 

[Rondesmo]

Felt on these vintage pics of the original 1989 Batmobile.

From profile the car doesn’t seem so long.
You realize that light and lenses can have a huge impact on distortion.

A few pics of mine before repacking back to 2018. It more or less matches what I see in terms of proportions.

Without a doubt, the greatest Batmobile ever........

 

[Rondesmo]

Ok, the 1989 Batmobile project from Joost seems launched.



Is Hot Toys gonna strike back…?

 

[Bgnyc007]

I have the HT one but would totally pick up if Jazz makes it.

 

[Rondesmo]

It was boxed since 2018.
As I’m debating if pull the trigger on Joost’s one, I took mine out of the box to have a look at it and try to clarify my mind.
Even if it was displayed for years, completely forgot how impressive and massive it is.
Still convinced that at retail price, it was an awesome piece whatever the flaws and inaccuracies.
Still fresh and mint Luke day 1.

Looks really good. I'd be content with just owning that. I like the black rims too.

 

[franpincho]

IMHO, if you have this, you DO NOT NEED Joost’s . No matter how much more accurate it may be.

If you didn't, a completely different story, considering HT's price now is crazy.

 

[Rondesmo]

You’re probably right… don’t know what to do… need to rethink about it…

I can't even imagine the hassle of selling HT's. When I did, it was a local thing.

 

[Rondesmo]

Wasn’t prepared that it would be so fast…
I put pics of my Batmobile on a FB Batman group just to test and an hour later it was sold for 1K…
I truly loved this Batmobile, it was the item that really put me in the hobby back to 2013 but seriously this box… it was completely madness to have done so big!

It will remain memories to some of you…

 

[a-dev]

Won't the box for Jazzinc's version be about the same?

 

[Nine Inch Nails]

Won't the box for Jazzinc's version be about the same?

Bigger apparently.

 

[Rondesmo]

I’m not sure.
If you look at the box of the 1966 Batmobile, you can clearly see that the box is much more compact than the HT box. No empty space.

I’m sure that even if the Joost’s 1989 will be longer, the box will certainly much smaller and compact.

 

[user 19388]

Dang, someone got a nice Batmobile. If the prices on these start going down a bit more, I might swing for one of the HT versions.
