McFarlane TM15708 Batman Model Car, Multicolour

Product Information

Still, you get some detailed cushions sculpted on the seats, the Bat Fire Extinguisher and Bat Phone, both in red plastic, and some gauges and a shifter handle, as well as the handle protruding from the roof bar. As with Robin, there is the standard version of the character as well as a chase variant, but in this case the unmasked version is the more common figure as opposed to the much more rare masked variant. William Omaha McElroy, highly respected professor of Egyptology at Yale University, was struck in the head by a rock during a violent student protest.

When trouble strikes, BRUCE and DICK become the heroic BATMAN™ and ROBIN™, a secret known only to their dutiful butler, ALFRED PENNYWORTH™.

I was really impressed with the different colors they used to render the Batphone, steering wheel, and some of the various levers in the main console of the car, which I kind of wish extended to other parts of the vehicle. His accessories consist of sound effect attachments, and they’re the best of the lot: SOCK and OUCH.

Still, I’d take that over a potential break, and considering how great the overall vehicle looks, it’s a fair trade. Obviously the articulation is more limited, but I think the sculpts and coloring are either on par or in some cases better.So, here’s where that retro moniker really works as an all-excuses pass, because the scaling here really is pretty close to the scaling between MEGO’s vintage Batmobile and the figures in the line. The cape is fabric, and takes a bit of time to properly smooth out, and he’s lacking in many accessories. Knowing what I was getting going in, I’m not at all sorry I picked it up, but if you do already own the Mattel version, you may want to give this one a pass!

His costume just looks so damn on point with some wonderful sculpting flares like the tops of his boots and the fasteners running down the center of his tunic. The only things that need to be attached are some railings, a ladder, and the Batpoles, and those are easy enough.Batman and Robin have many gadgets in their arsenal, but none more hi-tech and stylish than the Batmobile—ready to power on with the touch of a button. I already dipped into the Retro 66 Batman pool a short while ago with a look at Boxing Batman and Riddler, but today I’m going to go back to basics by checking out the Dynamic Duo and their bitchin ride. The backside has the sculpted parachute pouches, which is a great touch, but that turbine is just itching for a flame effect part that wasn’t included. There’s even ruffling below the neck, with the rest of the headpiece poking out… well, above the cape, but still.

I am excited to see how this will look with McFarlane’s Batcave playset when I eventually get to opening it. Bubble wrap is still used for fragile items and some preowned toys but the majority of our parcels use brown kraft paper.All crimefighters need a place to rest their head, and Batman’s Batcave is no doubt the best in all of popular culture. In the series, they were more of a brownish color, but again, minor gripes on an overall fantastic car.
