Some well made points here, I agree with some of what you're saying.

I'll take that!

It looks glorious... but also a heckuva lot shinier than I was expecting. Did the factory spray on several coats of gloss at the end or something?

Yup, waaaaay glossier than what I was expecting. Maybe they're trying to smooth out the paint job?

That is some very harsh light driving directly down on it. Does look like they are tinkering with the finish now. But I would think the car does not reflect anywhere near that much in a normal display area. Going by the wheelchair that' s some commercial grade crazy fluorescent lit building, the worst of the worst lights. My eyes are watering thinking of being in such a place. lol.

Looks damn good.

I feel like they've all been that glossy

They have been from all the in hand photos I've been seeing in the group. Unless if someone is planning on displaying this with very minimal lighting.

I think it'll be fine as long as you're not putting super bright light on it. Batman should be in the shadows

I mean it's definitely preferable to the super flat plasticky look of the HT version.

Personally I prefer the “flat” look of the Hot Toys as that’s a closer representation of what the 89 (and 92) was. The lack of weathering does give it a “plasticky” look though. I was pleased to see the newly announced Hot Toys Batmissle has a much more realistic paint job with subtle weathering, even on the tires. It really looks like it’s been driving on the streets of Gotham.

I love the scale and shape of the Jazz but imho the addition of the gloss coating + silver mesh embellishments make it look more like a sleek sports car than the satin bulletproof tank portrayed on screen, and in the Jazz prototype. More James Bond than Batman, if that makes any sense. Regardless, it’s a unique interpretation. Happy for those who own it and are pleased with it.
