I finally found my Batmobile model I built over 20 years ago.

No cracks about how the paint isn't screen accurate.

I think the paint is fine because, subconsciously I bet you had the Kenner paint jobs in mind.

TDKC Batmobile and Batman Returns Batmissile from Kenner both had gold hubcaps. Ain't nothing wrong with that, I dig the paint job you gave that baby.


That model is a great one. So tempted to buy another and build it up for old time sake. Can't WAIT for the Hot Toys Batmobile.

Looks great, I always sucked at putting models together.

Thanks! Yeah, just seeing this makes me want the HT Batmobile even more. It really is a fantastic design. And I think the side pic I took really shows how long, lean and mean it looks. That's something I want to see first-hand with the HT version.

I built quite a few models as a kid. And even though I wasn't really a kid when I build this, it's the only one I ever kept. Well, this and the Batwing (which I still haven't been able to find).

The more I look around, the more '89 Bat merchandise I see, and I f'n love it.

WB seriously needs to get on this and capitalize.

The certainly did back in 1989. It's too bad they didn't take advantage of it for the 20th anniversary. Then again, they probably didn't want to step on the toes of the Nolan series.

Nice job on the Batmobile

Re: 1989 Batman Collection

DC could have released some cool '89 Batman merch now. 2011 was a non-Batman year. Oh well. At least Hot Toys is on it.

I picked up a Ertl diecast Batmobile off Ebay for cheap. Had one when I was little and felt the need to reclaim it.

I did a title change so this could be everything '89 Batman, instead of just collectibles.

Wow! I remember looking at those two statues in the catalog. I thought they were the greatest statues ever made. The new Hot Toys figures put them to shame.
