My wife got me this as one of my Christmas gifts to open from Amazon. She got it during the Black Friday sell and got it for 156 shipped. I really excited to open it up and I also just got in today, 2 bottles of liquid smoke so I can smoke it up! lol. I love how the Mezco Batman and Superman look on this thang! It makes it look even more "real" to me with them on it. This photos are amazing. Thank you for making me feel good! hahaha!

Oh crap. Now I need Mezco Batman to stand on my Batmobile

Nice! You won't be disappointed. If they dropped the RC angle, and the smoke, and the sounds, and the lights, and the video, and the app, and just had this, with a hinge joint for the off-road, it would be worth considering. I'd hope they could cut the price in half at that point tho.

Bottom line, it's a perfect companion piece for figures. Higher end, but not crazy. And yes, I think it works especially well with the One:12 figures.

If you have a Batmobile, you must have a Batman stand on top of it.

The one thing I wish it came with is it own controller. I don't care so much for the driving with an app. I would like a separate controller that my phone and sit on top of and give me all the options that the app does.

Tony_Bacala · 12-01-2017, 05:26 PM

I didn't mind the app, BUT, it was a bit tricky controlling speed with it. It's either full throttle or creeping. The inbetween was hard to hit and keep steady. Not good when in confined spaces.

The cats were also super freaked out. It was fun watching them run away through the video on the app tho lol.

(No cats were harmed in the filming of this review).

holy fuck, that is beautiful. RC batmobile for 6" figures. im in for sure. do you take debit or credit?

Didn't Superman rip off those batmobile doors in the movie? LOL. And those two batman figures on the left actually look pretty cool.

Killer photos!!! Great work as usual. I really like the Mezco one:12 Batman with this. I do feel like the price is way too high, and the size is a little too big. Love the smoke effects and light functions though.

100% agree with this! Even the cheapest remote control car has this. I mean, the cool part about having a remote control car, is that it’s remote controlled lol And the smart phone is terrible for operating these. The camera is the only beneficial function for using the phone. Do you really need that? I assume the sound effects are only on the app as well.

This might be my favorite gallery. Shots looks incredible and show off how good the car looks. The reveal recreation and the stare down are perfect.

There is the normal Multiverse Justice League Batmobile, which is slightly smaller (to be more properly in-scale) and loses all those features, and is only $60.

Crappers- that Batman runs more than the batmobile now... ha! Hopefully they do a black Justice League version that way i can get one for less than a small fortune

No, all sounds come from car. And loud. When it's on, but idling, it sounds like beast mode v8 with lopey cam just waiting to eat you. All the revving and gun sounds come from there and interrupt the engine sounds.

Mezzo announced tactical suit JL Batman. Hopefully the black suit won't be far behind.
