Batmobuddies: the Batmobile Fan Thread!

anybuddy wanting to jumpstart a Batmobile collection could do worse than this set!

$30 is steep for 5 Hot Wheels cars, BUT these aren’t the kind that go for a dollar apiece. these have “premium” Real Rider rubber tires, as can be most clearly seen on the Justice Leaguemobile

and “premium” paint applications, like additional details as seen on this Keatonmobile (note the gas caps, headlights, and metallic highlights on the sides)

and the “premium” Spectraflame paint on the Westmobile (the glittery finish)

and while yes i am being bitterly sarcastic about the use of the word “premium,” these kinds of cars, sold individually, would probably retail for $7-$12

here’s an Amazon link to take a look, but the set is also sold elsewhere!

and keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming Hot Wheels Batman Forever car

as well as this set, which AFAIK is the only place to find the Penguin’s iconic station wagon

You’d be amazed how much gas it takes to get those turbines to speed.

look out, ladies, 'cause Kevin’s licensed to drive!

that’s his school number right there! :sunglasses:

what it lacks in the Jose Luis Garcia Lopez art of the Batman Returns edition –

– it makes up for in recording sensitive personal information on a Batmobile license

bonus nostalgia rush: i bought my (first) Batman Returns license at a Walden Books

(note the retro DC logo on the spinner rack :heart_eyes:)

oh and a Batmobile pic that will work for desktop wallpaper

it’s not one of the good Batmobiles but he’s clearly about to total it so that’s ok. Alfred only lets him do jumps in the crappy Batmobiles.

I know Battinson’s Corvette C2 isn’t technically a Batmobile but it’s still a gorgeous car.
