Toys and Games Reviews of Hot Toys' The Dark Knight: 1:6 Scale BatmobileCustomer Review: A Decent Try- But With Problems Summary: 4 Stars
I LOOOOVE the new batmobile-It's absolutely unique and has a real world, functional realism that the designs over the last 70(!!!) years have lacked. I was estatic when I learned that HOT TOYS was going to release one. I was willing to pay any amount for it and was overjoyed when it was to retail for only about 400 bucks. The photos also looked good. I was ready. Upon receiving it, I was disappointed that it still had some serious detail issues-especially regarding the front end. (1). The front windshield architecture is COMPLETELY wrong. It actually has 3 sections and is somewhat pyramidal in shape-not flat the way Hot Toys made it. This faux pas is the most egregious one committed and totally messes up the car. Why it was made this way is a mystery as the correct shape would not interfere with the roof's opening mechanism. How would I know this you ask-because I scratch built a correctly shaped replacement windshield and it actually has more clearance than the one provided. (2). The entire behind-front-wheels suspension assembly was ommitted-again, a faux pas with no reasonable explanation. (3). The rear wheels are painted incorrectly. The 'flange' or outer border should also be painted (flat) black as should much of the inner wheel. (4). Two small hanging bits of detail are missing on the roof's 'light bar'. I'm not sure what they are-spotlights or some kind of sensors-but, they are missing. Finally, the rear pyrimidal area of the 'battle pod' is located too far forward and doesn't have the tunnel in which Batman can lay. It is possible to correct most of these problems oneself-but why should you have to-especially at this price point. Nice first try Hot Toys. But if you can put even the most minute of details on your action figures, why can't you get the detail right on a piece as big as the Batmobile? Please try again.
