Proportions and paint. Various angles, ect. You can buy the license to make the Batmobile and slap the Batmobile name on something, but if it doesn't look exactly like the Batmobile, then it really isn't thae Batmobile, not even scaled down. It is merely an interpretation of the Batmobile. I don't want an interpretation. I want the spitting image, just like how Hot Wheels took a computer scan of the 1966 Batmobile and scaled it down to have the exact proportions as the real car.
THAT is what I want in an 89 Batmobile, and is what I have been waiting for since 89. Now that Hot Toys has the license, they bungled it, and it is unlikely they will remake it correctly. I am extremely disappointed, and I know if I buy it, it will annoy and irritate me every time I look at it how it isn't right and how much I paid. Alas, I will probably buy it anyway..
I am a big fan of this car, and I found all of the info on it I could when the movie came out. All of the magazines with it in it, to learn all about it, and I was obsessed with every news report on it. I knew all about how it was built before the movie even came out. I was gripped with anticipation , just waiting for it to come on the screen, and now Hot Toys makes such a lifelike figure of Batman and then makes a Batmobile that looks like this. Frankly, I feel like Frack! Frack! Frack! Frack!
