McFarlane's DC Direct BTAS Batmobile Blue Batman The Animated Series

Excellent review! Thank you for taking the time to make this video for us. The comparison to the DC Direct BTAS Batmobile was very informative and really necessary so collectors can see the similarities and differences of the 2 Batmobiles. Thank You!

[@dHuntersReviews]

You mean the 3 😀

[@Thesmartestmanalive81]

I found the last one at my local target. So stoked! I can’t believe how large the scaling is.

Two have been sitting at my Target for weeks now.

Love the colour change on it! Too bad about the light bleed on the canopy, but that's a minor gripe and easily fixable.

[@dHuntersReviews]

Not a big deal

[@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

[@dHuntersReviews]

Very good vehicle

[@irvinp3224]

I appreciate the review on this and comparing different toy line figures for it! Can’t wait until I get mine 😁

[@dHuntersReviews]

You got it?

[@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

[@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.

[@dHuntersReviews]

Chrome is to prob the best Right now blue is my favorite Probably because it’s new

They should have added the chrome to the rims and the engine.

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

[@stevenboyd3756]

Great video. Very informative. I thought it was a given that it would fit 7" figures. Now I have to find 6" figs for it. SMH.

[@stevennissley2456]

[@dHuntersReviews]

I’m so happy they are different!

[@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

[@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]

[@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?

[@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.👍
