Mattel is on the front line of the expansive DC licensing line up, producing figures and products for all age ranges in traditional outlets. While there are many collector focused options for figures, vehicles tend to be harder to come by. Today we are going to take a look at a gem of a piece – their 1/10 scale RC Justice League Batmobile. Don’t let the size class it’s listed as fool you, this is pretty much a 1/12 scale, aka 6 inch figure scale – Batmobile.
It’s a fully functioning RC vehicle, with a top speed of 5.5 MPH, full steering controls. It also has multiple sound effects including an idle and engine rev that matches it’s speed. Missiles, guns and rockets all have unique sounds when triggered, matching their rotating and moving barrels on the car itself. It even has a video camera in the cockpit, so when you are zooming around you can see what it sees on your phone via an app. Lights are present on the front and back, and it even has an off-road raised mode as seen in the movie. The piece is capped off with a high end matte finish, rubber wheels, lighted cockpit that fits the 6 inch Multiverse-esque figure that comes with it. Oh, and btw – it basically has a vaporizer built in, you can fill it up with smoke juice and trigger exhaust out the back of the car with the press of a button!
Straight up, this is a masterpiece. On it’s own, without any functioning RC capabilities, it would be worthy of attention. Throw in lights, sounds, video, and complete control via an app on your phone, and it’s pure win. Plus, it pretty much scales perfectly with 1/12 scale figures, so if you have any Batmen in your line up, they will work with this (visually). That cockpit is narrow so getting different figures in there may be tough. Depends on the figure, it’s cape, etc.

I will be using it as a collection display piece so the photos are more important to me personally but you can check out a video from Mattel, it shows off all the aspects a photo review won’t.
