Jazzinc 1/6 Batman 1989 Batmobile

What did the cockpit and dash look like in the actual movie. Those just look like degradation in real life over time after the film released rather than Batman being lazy. I think Alfred would have kept it looking nice anyway.

Thank you for those dashboard pictures. I wonder if there is one that confirms the green color lighting to the glass elements?

I think this green color is due to the lenses of the camera.

I think close to this:

Still rougher than HT cockpit. (I liked by the way)

I was watching one of Joost's earlier live streams for the Animated Batmobile, and he said the orders for the 89 surpassed a few thousand, which is why it turned out as specular as it did with all of the added features.

Still a very, very low edition number compared to Hot Toys' 89, which is probably in the tens of thousands.

Joost posted a vid on Facebook opening up one of them. The canopy fully sits flush unlike Justin’s video.

He should have used his branded 1/6  Temu "repair" kit he's peddling to fix that issue.

Maybe the reviewer did not engaged fully the canopy…?

Hope they sent him a damaged one lol .

I believe the total number of units for this were around 3k.

That's around four and a half million dollars.

For a small business venture, that's really not a lot. I figure a good portion of those costs goes towards manufacturing, licensing fees, paying employees, renting a building and equipment (and that's even before taxes) .

From what Joost has described, JazzInc also has to meet a minimum threshold of orders before their commissioned factory accepts any work.

Yeah, that amount of money does not go far at all when it comes to running a business.

The canopy isn't closing perfectly flush on that one either by the looks of it.

 

[Solidus]

I wonder if it's due to the dimensional tolerances being fairly high, and the natural contraction/expansion of the materials involved. If that's the case, then it might not take much in the way of material deformation to prevent the canopy from sliding all the way in place.

I figure in the coming months, owners of this Batmobile might notice some things that JazzInc didn't account for . The piece is gargantuan, and it's going to have uneven weight distribution, so it's good to keep that in mind.

One of the early testers said it was because the test version was missing a rubber piece that goes under the cockpit, which Joost is sending them. Joost opened up a box and the cockpit there was sitting flush.

I really hope the bat emblem rim aesthetics are much more secure on the 2nd & 3rd batches. Needs a strong magnetic connection, don’t like the idea of blu tack or adhesive, thing’s $2k. Don’t like seeing dents, paint blemishes, or any panels that aren’t flush. Everyone’s copy should be bang on, let’s bring it home.

Why are the bat symbols on the rims even magnetic, and not permanently affixed? Were there scenes without them?

IDK, maybe those were identified as items that could be damaged during shipment or could get caught and break while handling the vehicle. If so, better to just be able to pop them on magnetically. One would always have the option to permanently glue them in place once it’s received.
