How is everyone liking the new McFarlane Batman and Batmobile? I went back and forth over whether or not to get it but I ended up reserving the RC Spin Master Batmobile instead. They still look awesome though, especially everyone's pics of them. Are they worth it? Did I make a mistake? For $60 it’s hard to beat. Yeah, it’s mostly a plastic shell with no electronics, and the paint could be better, but it’s a 1/12th scale Keaton Batmobile for only $60. I think it’s worth it. The Spin Master RC one looks cool too. For $200, IDK if it’s for me but still badass. I got the $30 batmobile that comes with Keaton and Flash that’s great for the price. For whatever reason I have gravitated towards 3.75 scale for everything but WWE and a little bit of Star Wars so since I have those Mattel Movie Masters of '89 Keaton Batman I figured the Spin Master Batmobile would be cool to have together. I thought about going all in on this and getting the Batmobile and the Keaton Batman, I think the unmasked one looks awesome, but I ordered the Farrell 7" Penguin figure and the painting has kind of turned me off to it. I don't have the space and energy for another 6 inch line haha. They do look awesome though and it's really hard not to want to pull the trigger.

They are very hit-and-miss, especially when it comes to unmasked faces. I’ve cut back on my collecting of the DC Multiverse line, but I did grab both versions as I think Keaton is one of their better releases lately despite the so-so paint apps.

I got the unmasked Keaton from Target and it's quite a bit better than I was expecting. The likeness is very good. I ordered the Batmobile from GameStop to go with it but that still hasn't shipped. But I haven't been able to find it at my Macy's so I'll just keep waiting for my online order. As someone who bought the Party Wagon and Thundertank from Super7, just being able to buy a normal scaled vehicle for $60 at retail is amazing. There are always going to be people who want top of the line product but I think there are just a ton of 80s babies on this one going, "I will definitely take a Keaton Batman and Batmobile for under $100 to display." No crowdfund, no scalped pricing, just a good solid toy that reminds of us of our childhood that damn near everyone can buy.
I bought a bunch of the Spin Masters stuff for my son from The Batman. The cave, the police car set, the Batmobile, and the single carded figures all clearanced out at Walmart. So I'm sitting back some on the Flash products. I definitely want to get him that Batwing set since I had the Toybiz version as a kid, but I'll likely grab him the Keaton car too.

With the exception of the utility belt that’s a straight up repaint of the Justice League of America Series 2 figure. So the utility belt must be a separate piece.

It's completely sealed on. It won't budge. There's a chance that the paints between the torso and belt have fused over 12 years, and that's why it won't move. Either way, I'm not applying pressure to find out. It took far too long to find a seller who didn't want to charge me $150-$200 for this fig.

But if it’s like other DCD/DCC Batman figures the torso will have notches and grooves cut into the waistline that the belt is glued and plugged into. So it wouldn’t really move unless you heated it first.

I had a $50 Mondo coupon, so I used it on the exclusive Harley. They sent coupons and replacement He-Man bodies to those with a detached He-Man torso.

Logically, I know that changing the belt, repainting the fig, and giving it new decals is lazy, especially for an exclusive. The articulation is severely lacking too, especially when compared to lines like DCUC, which was active at the same time. But do I still love the figure? Yes I do. It's still a gorgeous figure, and even with the heavy price tag, I was overjoyed when it arrived. I've got a bad case of that collecting bug.

I just paid AmiAmi for my two Mafex Nightwing figures. I can’t wait for them to arrive. Oh and my McFarlane Shazam movie Wonder Woman finally shipped from Amazon. Only two months after the initial delay. lol
