Nothing shown makes me go, "Wow, what an upgrade vs. the HT version," especially for that price difference. To my eyes, it is just slightly bigger. If that is an upgrade worth 1K+, more power to you.

According to the official Making Of book, the 89 Batmobile is 19ft 6 inches which is 234 inches total. Assuming 19 feet 6 inches is correct, 234 divided by 6 would be 39 inches in length for a true 1/6 scale...which is the length of the Hot Toys version, whereas the Jazz is 43.

I think the Jazz is slightly oversized but has the more accurate shape and proportions. The issue with the Hot Toys version is the rear of the vehicle is too large which makes the front of it look too short. However, it has the correct footprint for a true 1/6 scale.

All that said, I would rather have it be a bit too large but with accurate shapes and proportions.

For most people I think the Hot Toys version gets the job done, and the proportions issue isn't really noticeable if you display it at a slight angle, but credit where credit is due: The Jazz version nailed the shape and proportions of the 89. And many vehicles + figures aren't true 1/6 scale anyhow.

So, you’re trusting a book’s data rather than the 3D scan of the original hero vehicle that Joost used?

Woe is me! It’s the Death of Science, I tell ye.
The death of science…
