This may be the only "official" Batmobile but George did have a handful of others. It would be pointless to have ONLY one car.

I cry when I think of how many Chargers were destroyed on the Dukes set.

Vanishing Point had I think 9 Challengers...

Ordered both! bring on the Batmobile!

I so want to build a 1/6 batcave...or at least a half cut out view to have in a display case.

Oh, hell yes! I wish I had the skill to pull that off.

Same here. That cave dio would be awesome...and massive.

 

[Peloquin77]

We'll be needing some guinea pigs...

 

[careyb]

finally ordered both figures. The display of them together with the Batmobile is going to be epic.

I agree. My plan is to have all three Batmobiles displayed together, Tumbler,89 Batmobile and the '66 and the figures to match. Waaay cool!

 

[Pork Chop Express]

While we wait....

 

[demorathis]

I've always wanted to do that with my new beetle when I still had it...

 

[Meter Man]

Well I finally got around to PO'ing these and I'm really looking forward to their release.

So I heard they removed the "The Movie" from the Sideshow site. Does that mean this license is now the television series with a Batgirl in the future?

 

[Centrocal]

These figures are based on the film, thats why they have all the accessories used in the film. I attribute their description to Sideshow just being lazy and wanting to distinguish these from other Batman merchandise. To the uninitiated collector, they ARE from the TV series, regardless of being technically based on the film or not. Sideshow's website does not really affect which license HT has or doesn't have.


......well except Star Wars.


I'm sure HT would make some sort of declaration about the TV series. They love to hype things up.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

If that pic is an accurate representation of what we're getting than I'll go ahead and say these are HT's second and third best figures ever made.

 

[TheFiend]

Yeah, those sculpts are phenomenal. That West sculpt is better than any Bale cowled sculpt they've done that's for sure. On par with Keaton.

Any Bale cowl sculpt in 1/6th, that is; that QS is amazing. I'd say that HT's three best figures (in no specific order, would be West Batman, Keaton, and that final QS). It's just a shame that you can't have all three standing together...

Or perhaps you could? West Batman could pass for Silver Age Batman and you could form a backstory for how Keaton Bats and West Bats teamed up with the giant Batman of Universe X.

All true! These look incredible.

These are my ABSOLUTE holy trails. My Keaton Bats is great but I grew up with this Bats and he and Robin will be the jewels in my collector crown.

<<<<< Condensed for space by me >>>>>

That Batman picture looks like someone has at least tried to lay the cape flatter around his neck, which makes it look much better and closer to the movies/series.

As for that photo of Robin/Burt Ward, if you click the expand bar to see the picture at a larger size, it is just incredible!

 

[batfan08]

April can't come soon enough...

 

[DGTWoodward]

This really messes up my top five figures list (assuming all look like this proto). These are going to be in there, but it kind of makes it somewhat Batcentric.

 

[DiFabio]

Robin looks great, he's definitely a purchase. I don't really see Burt Ward there at all though. Looks like a generic likeness of random 20s looking dude. Like the kind of headsculpt that would be available on a standard true type body release.

The skin texture is great, the mask and hair is sculpted well, and the paint is superb. Can't say that there's any defining features of Burt Ward's Grayson though, certainly nothing close to Adam West in that Batman headsculpt.
