Another fine review! A couple of years ago Funko released a line of 3.75” batman 66 figures, including a batmobile with batman and robin. I have those on display with the cave and they’re a match made in heaven both scale and stylewise!

[@dHuntersReviews]

They might be too small, but would look better in here. I hear Mezco 5 POA figures fit nicely with it.

[@coricschronicles]

1st! I love your reviews dhunter. Keep it up!

[@dHuntersReviews]

Thank you!

[@danielstjohn3018]

You have a great Bat Cave set up...!! Great going.!! Nice review.!! I'm really happy with mine ...because it scales very well with my Super Powers figures.!! (...but I don't have Alfred, Bruce, Dick, ... Vicki Vale ... or Commissioner Gordon...!! Darn.!!) [...Neither do I have Metropolis visitors like: Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, nor a Perry White.... in a Wayne Manor diorama ... living room...!!] Double darn.!!

[@dHuntersReviews]

It’s good for super powers, but too small for the figures it’s actually meant for!

[@Ed-jv3xu]

Great video👍 It’s a privilege to admire and look at

[@dHuntersReviews]

Thx

[@glennjthompson332]

You put it on a moving diaplay rounder for the batmobile and added a ramp to speed out of the cave, that will be a good idea!😀💡🙃

[@dHuntersReviews]

Yeah, that would be cool.

[@thescarletandgrey2505]

The key to enjoying this line is to not be concerned about the scale. It’s closer to being a toy than an adult collector’s piece. In that respect it’s like the toys of the sixties & seventies, which had almost no accurate scaling at all! Lol. (Check out the old MEGO Batcave to see what I mean). Man your Batcave set up is the best on YT; completely unrivaled. Appreciate the review, another great job.

[@dHuntersReviews]

I know it's retro, but I wish it was $50-$60 and scaled properly.

[@Parishdollaz0419]

Love seeing the entire bat cave set up again!! Just beautiful

[@dHuntersReviews]

This one or the one at the end of the video?

[@Parishdollaz0419]

@@dHuntersReviews the one at the end of the video. I thought the 66 batcave computers with at least scale in with the set up, but it’s just waayy too small like you showed here. Nonetheless the set up at the end is still beautiful without it, just wanted to see your way of fitting the 66 cave in

[@jihadx5307]

In retrospect, I think McFarlane should’ve scaled the figures in line with the Super Powers figures. Doing a 6 inch retread 5 years after Mattel was unnecessary. Whereas, he could’ve done something new with an older property, since the 1966 show has never been done in that scale before.

[@dHuntersReviews]

If they had done that, I would not have purchased any to open.

[@jihadx5307]

@@dHuntersReviews I hear you but the vehicles & playsets would’ve been better suited for 5 inch figures. Mattel gave us 1/12, MEGO gave us 1/8, Figures, Inc gave us 1/8 & 1/6, Funko gave us 1/18 & Mezco recently gave us 1/18 scale versions of these characters. It’s almost a crime that McFarlane didn’t integrate them into the 7 inch Multiverse line or 5 inch store exclusives.

[@dHuntersReviews]

I agree, it's insane that the vehicles/playsets are not in line with the figures. Would've worked better for 5 inch, but they went with 6 inch (smaller 6 inch), playset works with 4-5 inch figures.

[@Ordinaryguy82]

I was hoping you’d get this an review it, I have the Mattel line and this bat cave but I haven’t opened up it up yet, an wondered what they would look on this, I never picked up the car, I really like the Mattel version over the McFarlane version, but now-I feel like the Mattel version is going to look way-oversized sitting in the middle of the cave lol I will definitely be getting the motorcycle an side car. Really dug the review, keep up the great work!

[@dHuntersReviews]

Thx Wish the cave didn’t suck

[@0826man]

Awesome review. I have mine displayed with the mattel 60s batmobile and mattel batman and robin. I find that the mattel figs scale better with the batcave

[@dHuntersReviews]

Mattel figs are slightly taller, but thinner. Neither scale with the cave right at all.

[@dxdave33]

Me too and I did the same

[@mrmola3295]

Does the big orange central piece come away from the wall? If so, id be tempted to buy 2 of these, sell everything else apart from the back walls and just have the walls stuck together for a cave background.

[@dHuntersReviews]

I'll check

[@rjzavala87]

Looks pretty cool. Yea. Although i dont collect this line, i would love to have a complete batman 1966 setup. Love that series.

[@dHuntersReviews]

Can't wait for the next ones!

Found this in our local Target for $8 this week, the last one, target crew told me how lucky I was..bee boop bee boop bee boop..lol!.. I actually used it as backdrop to my Bat McF figures display, not in scale but looks better than a blank wall I guess...awesome playsets at the end.

[@dHuntersReviews]

$8? Insane Nice job bro

[@brianbieler3836]

Got mine a few weeks ago on clearance for $8.99.

[@dHuntersReviews]

Lol nice

[@2painful2watch]

I think the Mezco 3.75 inch figures work out best to scale on this Batcave set. I know you probably compromising on details a little but I'm a scale buff,, so.

[@dHuntersReviews]

I agree I think they would I hate how undersized it is

[@PhillyDreamTeam90]

I just wanted a set piece for figures. Couldn’t pass this up when it was 8.99 at target

[@dHuntersReviews]

Hell of a deal

[@MrTagalish]

Mcfarlane should do the Christopher Reeve Superman and Linda Carter Wonder Woman to line up and in scale with these figures so we can have a retro heros line.. there was even a Shazam in that time period. Who should we email?

[@dHuntersReviews]

Doubt an email would matter, depends if they can legally do them with likeness rights, etc.
