Spinmaster Batwing [Batman 89] An Excellent Purchase For The Super-fan!

[@popculturepedestal]

Very happy to see a new video , also awesome review , i personally think that batwing is a steal at that price and reminds me a lot of the ATM model kit from the 90s , So good to see Keaton batman on the shelves again

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

Thanks, man. Nice to be back on. Got a few more videos planned over the coming weeks 👍

[@Retrotoyguysi]

For the price this set is an absolute bargin, I was totally blown away with mine. The peg hole in his back is a bit weird, but the figure is so much better than the MacFarland Super Powers figure, I wish they would make some more, a Nicholson Joker and Pfeiffer Catwoman would be cool. Nice review, liked and subscribed 👍 😊

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

One of my favourite items of 2024 definitely belongs to the Batwing. I can accept the few small flaws that it has because it was totally worth the cost. The figure that comes with it is perfectly fine. The cape is a little meh but, overall, I’d struggle to fault it. Thank you very much for subscribing!

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

Also, returned the sub 👍 Looking forward to seeing your content.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@ you are more than welcome sir 😊

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@ thanks, I hope you enjoy my content (lots of Batman 89 this month 😁), 👍😀

You really can't moan at a Batwing with a Mighty-Keaton Batman included, even if it just ends up sitting aound as a display piece. Seeing the side by side comparison with your lamp definitely highlighted an issue I had with the cockpit size, not that I can pretend to know if either are screen accurate. Nice addition to the Retro Room. Nice one Matt, good video and glad to hear your voice and see your hands again!

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

Thank you! My keen eye can spot some minor differences however, it doesn’t take anything away as it’s the Batwing from the mightiest of the Batmen. More videos to follow soon 👍

[@jimboscustoms]

For the price there great definitely give it a matt spray and add some lights to the back 👍 it will look awesome hanging on a wall

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

Definitely going to paint this up. I’ve seen a few do it and it looks brilliant!

[@jimboscustoms]

I did it on the flash batwing Will definitely do it again if i get this one 👍kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXyUqHWlmJ6HapYsi=WOHTxJTUTGzwFLA-

[@thechicagobox]

I bought this on a whim a week ago and it’s surprisingly good for being so cheap. I keep the Batman figure inside it.

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

It is excellent value for money. Considering the Batwing is fairly niche, they’ve managed to represent it very well with the details. The only thing I’m considering is if I should repaint it or not.

[@MonkeyboysToys]

Not a bad little set for the price👍 I'm also confused by the white markings though, as there seems to be no reason for them. Those carded figures look cool. Good to see another video from the Retro Room! 👍🐵

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

They are an oddity, the white symbols. I must be missing something or just haven’t noticed them before. I’m fairly sure they don’t exist though. Thank you, man. More videos to come 👍

[@charlesalexanderjr2247]

​@@MattandTheRetroRoomthe white markings can be seen on the filming models used. Theres videos from adam savage of mythbusters on youtube where he taljs about it.

[@MonkeyboysToys]

@charlesalexanderjr2247 I feel better now. Cheers man, that was bugging me! 👍🐵

[@ChuckM0503]

Yea, that little batwing isn't bad at all. A fresh coat of paint and some weathering could spruce it up quite nicely. Could make for some good videos on the channel. Not sure if you're familiar with Cosplay Chris, but he has a series where he takes cheaper toys and customizes them to make them better. He actually took that batwing lamp and did something pretty cool with it a while back if you haven't seen it.

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

I am very tempted to repaint. But I’ll save that for now. Thanks for your recommendation. I haven’t seen any of his videos for a while so I’ll take a look 👍

[@diecastmodelsnbeyond6354]

This lil figure comes with a better likeness of Keaton than McFarlane Batman that came with the Batmobile tbh.

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

The 4 inch figure has amazing detail considering the size. I’m very happy with the likeness. But you are correct, this beats most other Mighty Keaton Batman figures by a long shot, likeness wise anyway.

[@gmon78]

Absolute bargain man 👍

[@MegaSting1981]

Dayum, seems like I've missed this 😳 Says 1-3 months on Amazon now. Looks good for the price point, tho.

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

I almost missed it myself. Snapped it up as soon as I knew about it. Hopefully they will get restocked soon 👍

[@MegaSting1981]

@@MattandTheRetroRoom Managed to grab one today as Amazon have indeed restocked!

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

@MegaSting1981 excellent! That’s good to hear. Much better than the 2-3 months estimate you had before. I’m now having the same issue with the Batman Resurrection Book!

[@MegaSting1981]

@@MattandTheRetroRoom Ah, bummer! Best of luck mate, hopefully there's one out there 🙏

[@jiorts]

I'd love to have this regardless ..i'd try to file the ears down. Maybe weather the belt?

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

I liked both of them. I feel you receive an excellent product for not a lot of money. The ears don’t really both me to be honest, but you could certainly reshape them if you wanted to. As for the belt, I think I little touch-up with paint would make a world of difference.

[@EricExistentialism]

Think if you pop off the legs from a 1/12 scale Batman, it could be worked in there??

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

The Mezco one? Haha, probably would fit to be fair, minus the legs lol.

[@lilwhodyson]

my amazon order has been pending for approximately 28 months or so it seems

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

I’d check in on that. I know some people just have their order cancelled randomly.

[@antin.w.o]

its a kids toy geeeeeezzzzzz its still cool

[@MattandTheRetroRoom]

It’s very cool.
