I got my waitlist converted back then, but my son was seriously sick, and our whole world crumbled and so messed up that I had to let the chance go. Now my son's doing better, and I hope I got one more chance of happiness in owning this amazing piece after all the craziness.

I was 12 years old when this batman movie came out, and was already a huge fan of the superman movies from 1978 and 1980, and i had seen plenty of episodes of the 1960's Batman show. I just remember to this day, how my mind exploded when I saw this car on the screen for the first time, it's a highlight in cinema history.This car hasn't been topped in any batman movie since, it's quite simply the most iconic batmobile ever made.

[@Cythil]

I agree. For me, this is also the most iconic one.

[@DM-kv9kj]

Easily. I feel the same way about the suit in the OG movie too. It's fantasy, so I honestly couldn't care less about it being realistic with practical head-turning neck and nonsense like that. Batman isn't realistic in the first place, and just like with comics it's a vibe, stylistic, all about the look of the piece far more than realism and practicality.

LIDAR scans of large objects is not joke. - Some algorithms that combine the data will sometimes flatten protruding details (like a nose. - Some materials need to be coated if you want them to show up. - Then there's mechanical error-drift from whatever gimble you use to either move the LIDAR or move the target. What I'm trying to say is, getting high-detailed LIDAR scans of large objects is no joke.

It looks like the center of the wheels is smaller in the back, compared to the front. I think thats to the difference in wheel thickness... Love that. I always love it when the size of an object or the viewing angles of the onlooker creates optical illusions with sweet effects, and its MOST amazing when that was specifically intended by the Maker. First learned about that in school when talking about the form of the collumns in the greek Pantheon. But what a great Model man. Such an amazing work. I love this car.

Technically this looks like it should be the Batman Returns version. The first film used a custom paint called "Flip Flop" where it appeared to have a more satin finish with hints of purple at certain angles. In Returns, the paint looked gloss black.

You’ll need to see it in different lighting. Just like the original, they were able to replicate the paint finish with the color flip. We even had input on the percentage of green tint we liked in the paint! 😂 some of the other video reviews show it off better in light to show the colors.

Then, being part of Weapons Company in the Marine Corps, I regularly got to shoot and maintain the M2. It is a beloved piece of artistic destruction that shall NOT be mocked, by comparing it to a lowly Thompson sub-machine gun. Over 100 years of continuous service, and easily another 100 to come. The only thing that will outlast the B52 BUFF, will be the M2 Browning. I'll end my rant now. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL model.
