'89 was put up about the same time as the Batmobile.
Thanks, hopefully releasing soon then.

To my eyes it looks to be identical to, paint wise (or lack thereof) to the original.

Yep,
Still too damn stubby.

Looks great. This will be inside a glass case and no one will notice those millimeters missing to be "accurate". This will look amazing next to the 1/6 Batwing, cant wait.

I don’t understand people’s need to diminish one collectible to enjoy another. I’ve had the original HT Batmobile for 7+ years and it still looks great and this will look great in people’s collections.
Bottom line is:
If you bought Joost’s it will look great in your collection.
If you bought the HT one it will look great in your collection.

Isn’t it missing at least 100 millimetres?
I think that warrants switching to *missing centimetres.

I totally understand this complaint, especially for the price.
But is it possible from your point of view to see how others might be able to ignore that inaccuracy?
Genuine question. Not taking a stab at you or others for this valid observation.
You see it, would you still buy it if it were the only option? Like HT version is THE ONLY one available.
Would you?

Would I ?
Well, actually, I did. I bought it when it was originally released. But it always looked off to me, and I eventually sold it.
But I gladly pre-ordered the JazzInc ‘89 Batmobile, even though it’ll easily cost twice what the the HT version does.
If others are satisfied with the HT, I can understand it.
If the movie-used 89 Batmobile had had the exact shape and proportions as the Hot Toys car I would still think it was the coolest and most beautiful Batmobile ever designed.

I think the tumbler was also just a rerelease. Maybe the box will be different for this but thats probably it.
That's correct. I bought it and there is no art box, just the brown shipper.

Eh they sort of updated tumbler with black rims and cleaner interior.

It's more than half the posts I see in this forum, especially if it's anything Batman or Inart related.

That’s what I thought they were going to do with this one. They could have made the rims blacks and give it a glossy Returns finish, but nope.
Wonder how many of these 2.0s even got bought vs. how many they actually made.

They can't be that many, most places are either waitlisted or sold out no?
I'm personally OK with this one. I mean, this thing is huge, I really don't need it to be any bigger, lol.
