[@Peweskimooxy]

Oh wow, I have the original release but I love that new color! Very tempting to grab it and swap out the cockpit so I can get the blue exterior with the extra detail inside (and the over-the-shoulder seat belts, of course!). The blue also reminds me so much of the Kenner release! The new one doesn't have a removable mini bat-jet, but it's still pretty cool :)

[@dHuntersReviews]

Glad to have both

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

good review bro it looks very good my fav would be the chrome I think, the lights with the figs in the cave... wow! and yeah, 2 seats! no cheating stuff. with the wing, it makes quite a pair, I love how they have a similar simplistic style. I like to see the figs next to it, wow it s long! I think I saw the 70s blue - black one in your closet, too bad you did nt compare it here. so now you know... good show bro

Very good vehicle

[@LordRockington83]

Great review. I'm fortunate enough to have the OG release. I was very curious about the differences. The canopy being translucent is not great. Having the cockpit lights shine thru kinda kills it for me. However I do like the blue color scheme. The OG was a Grail, so I'm happy folks are getting another crack at it.

[@dHuntersReviews]

I’m so happy it’s different

[@VictoriasCantina]

Thank you for comparing the batmobiles! I haven’t gotten the new one yet since I have the chrome version. I think it’s a superior version overall, but I do like the dark blue coloring.

No issues whatsoever

[@vince0896]

Thank you sooo much for doing a comparison to the other two! I have the deluxe version and I haven't open it. I wanted to know if this new one was different than the other two. You solved that mystery. And I do agree with you about the outside color of this new one. Again thank you.

[@dHuntersReviews]

Each one has stuff I like about them

[@connected5756]

Great review! Always appreciate the comparisons, especially with the previous Batmobile releases. I've seen in other videos that it almost looks like the paint job goes from blue to black depending on how the light hits the car. Does the paint have an iridescent look to it or is just all blue?

[@dHuntersReviews]

All blue

[@codywonkenobi9170]

Can a single 7" McFarlane with a cloth cape fit? Thanks D!

[@dHuntersReviews]

You could put the body in there, but it would stick out tremendously far. It would not look good and it would not shut. McFarlane are bigger than Neca figures I showed in there near the end of the video

[@LT200913]

Great review and I appreciate the comparisons as well! I still think the chrome version is the best of the three but I glad am one of many people who got another chance at a TAS Batmobile due to MacFarlane. My biggest issue with the new version is the shade of gray being too light and felt if they gave it the chrome treatment it would be perfect.

[@dHuntersReviews]

I don’t honestly know which one is my favorite. There are things I like about all three of them right now. This blue one is my favorite.

[@LT200913]

@dHuntersReviews I definitely can understand where you're coming from, and there's no wrong choice because they're great and accurate. I own the DC Collectibles TAS Batwing as well, and that thing is indeed a beauty, so I hope fans get another chance at it if McFarlane decides to do it

[@dHuntersReviews]

Thank you sir

[@dtuk22]

It is a impressive model. I've seen videos of this new version and its both Blue & Black ? Also I'm of the opinion there's huge potential here to modify this Batmobile. If it can be dismantled safely then theres scope to add extra details. Like chrome effects, the light Gray is too light compared to the original imo. Also that canopy needs to be addressed. The light shining through the top is not good. If that can be removed then it could be painted or lined on the inside creating a barrier against light seepage. Once reassembled it wouldn't show through the top. Added paint to the interior & weathering effects could maybe be beneficial too. But its all objective & personal preference.👍

[@dHuntersReviews]

The new one is blue. The old one is black.

[@el_covfefe]

Why did McFarlane decide to go cheap with the paint on the interior and change the color of the car?

[@dHuntersReviews]

To be cheap, and to give people like me who have been in it since day 1 something a little bit different!

[@el_covfefe]

@@dHuntersReviews the grill would have achieved that like the other two. As for being cheap the paint on the canopy is so thin the lights bleed through🤦🏿

[@Lycano23]

The price is like $30 less than the the original MSRP, people get the chance to get not only the batmobile itself but with the accurate color, not only cheaper than the 2dary market but the original MSRP also, and the only thing is not having the buttons of the control panel painted, man, McFarlane is making a lot of fans happy!

[@dHuntersReviews]

I don’t think the original was $110 msrp but I could be wrong I know I got it way cheaper than that

[@Lycano23]

@@dHuntersReviews it was $99, I checked last night, but even if it was at $100 we wouldn't find that at that price anymore, until now that McFarlane gave us a chance.

[@ryh2638]

This is a nice version of the BTAS Batmobile but my preference for the live action movies made me go with the Tumbler over this and that thing is my favorite Mcfarlane released vehicle so far just because of the two seater. lol If there is one thing I would've liked to see added to the movie vehicles that this one does is the light up feature. I would've gladly pay some more for additional action features.
