Am I the only one who thinks the Batmobile looks cheap and nasty? To be fair, it IS cheap, very cheap. Worth the money I'm sure but I don't particularly love the look of it.

AFU · 03-16-2023, 06:14 AM

The R/C version of the Batmobile, I might bite, since the 89 Batmobile is my favorite, but it sucks that the cheaper version from Mcfarlene sold out, and if you want to get it else where, the higher the price…Hopefully I will find the cheaper version at Walmart or somewhere else when the Flash movie comes out…

The canopy is depressing for sure, but I think swapping that part out and giving it a proper paintjob will do wonders. Can't forget that even the real Batmobile looked cheap and nasty in Returns after they slapped that gloss black on it.

I honestly can't decide. Maybe I'm trying to convince myself because I want it to be incredible.

I was thinking the same thing about the paint. My compressor and airbrush will be here Saturday. Maybe I'll attempt that.

That pic of the supposed Gadot Wonder Woman from Shazam 2 is legit

Got better picture of the face? The legs look like they're more toned, instead of the previous tubes, but the face is still questionable, at least from this picture.

Indeed. My first thought was those stacks of plastic cars at the dollar stores, and how even the Jada and Black Mamba Batmobiles are more accurate. You'd think the Batmobile would have gotten the Gold Label treatment, but I guess Todd really wants it to be more affordable for the kiddos.

Zigerlion · 03-16-2023, 11:58 AM

LOL despite being considered cheap. These figs and vehicles preorders are all sold out and scalped to hell on Amazon. $120 for the Batmobile and $45 for the figs.

ya that seller is Piggly Toyville he always scalps figures at overpriced reasons

User897 · 03-16-2023, 01:08 PM

I like how they are called "resellers" or "3rd party sellers." Call a spade a spade. They are scalpers plain and simple.

As long as there will always be a sucker, they will be in business.

Keaton Bats was back on Amazon at regular price for a short while but he is back to scalper prices. I managed to snag a pre-order

Well shit, this is turning out to be the McFarlane Deathstroke or AzBat at forever scalper prices. I did order a Mezco 89 Bat so I guess that'll have to do when it comes in 5 years.

I am glad the Keaton figures/Batmobile is being a Pain to find. If this keeps up maybe we get Batman/Batman Returns waves from Todd like the TDK one

Also DC Direct Keaton Statue

Damn that looks good. I just love this suit style.

User897 · 03-17-2023, 01:51 PM

I applaud the updates and upgrades to the Keaton Batsuit. The designer(s) really nailed it. It would have been so easy to get it wrong.

snake5289 · 03-17-2023, 03:42 PM

The only nitpick about Keaton's new suit I have is the belt not being yellow. Just looks off without it.
