Hot Toys figures on the way!

Oh well. Delete this thread if necessary.

Or if people want to discuss it here on the forums.

My Hot toys Batmobile came in. Here are a few quick shots.

Batman with the Batmobile.


Just the car.


The cockpit.


The machine guns.


Larger than the average cat!


Unfortunately the shields were covered in a coating that is bubbling up badly.

i am scared to ask how much that cost

Very cool.

Weird about the paint on the shields...this a common complaint?

I saved about $50 because I preordered it early. Still, with shipping it cost $664.

I searched online and found one mention, the prototype on display had the same problem. We'll have to see if other people have the same problem.

The Batmobile has a bunch of features from both Burton films.  If your interested, I've scanned the instructions  (warning large file size).

What you're seeing in that shot is the protective film still in place. The shields have a covering over them (except on the wheels) that needs to be peeled off.

Ah, Thanks!  You think they would've mentioned that in the documentation.

Well, got my Hot Toys Batmobile unboxed tonight...

Bad news:

-The box had a 7 inch hole in the side of it, both through the brown shipper and the display box.... plus another quarter size hole in the other side. No damage to the car from this, but it is still a bummer to have a destroyed box on a $700 item.

- I have 2 of the common scuff/ scratches on the canopy's side. They aren't as bad as others I have seen (and not nearly bad enough to risk trying for a better one), but they are there:



Good news:

IT IS THE FREAKING 1989 BATMOBILE IN 1/6TH SCALE.



This is honestly the coolest purchase I have ever made. Even with the scuffs and the box damage... Zero buyer's remorse. It is a thing of absolute beauty and is the definitive piece in my 1989 Batman collection. A work of art.

Here are some quick, no frills pics of this beast.... I will do some more detailed pics (once I figure out how to get it on my photo table) and a video review this weekend... but I just wanted to snap a few pics of this masterpiece in its new home tonight.
