The red stripe I am a little dissapointed in as it is not a very Red Red. But it will still be cool! I have not looke at all the pieces yet.

I haven't seen the kit yet, but have heard the comments. I wonder if there's any chance that going lightly around the pinstripe with a red magic marker may darken it up some.

Got mine Saturday. GREAT kit. If the stripes don't do it for you strip the paint and re-paint yourself or wait until the glue kit comes with day-glo red decals.

I'll wait for the glue kit. I saw the tires and rims and not too impressed. I think I can get some Radirs that look closer to the real ones elsewhere. But great to hear they finally made a kit of this car!!

you know, I wonder how many modelers we've lost over the last 45 years waiting for this, and why did it take so long. personally I've lost interest.

Why did it take so long??? GREED.......the only reason. Warner Bros., G. Barris, DC Comics all claimed the rights to the 66 Batmobile. How Tom Lowe worked it out is a wonder.....but it is done and we are getting a number of other version yet to come. I never lost interest.....lost money on just OK resin kits......but that;s all.

I got one last week. I'll shelve it until I can get around to giving it the proper, tho not extensive, attention (it IS a snap kit).
At first glance thru the box, the body and figures are well painted (pre-painted pinstripes, figures, and wheel hubs- yay!) The kit allows plenty of room for detailing.
And I've passed the info on to some other non-automotive (figure, custom heroclix) builders (especially those with kids, that might take the kit as a great builder intro)

I'm with Paul on this one.., back in the day I would have given anything to have the Batmobile on my shelf.. Not that the recent release isn't a welcome site to most ... But for me the cape crusaders ride has taken a back seat to other modeling interests.. I may grab a glue kit for kit bashing.... For those who have long awaited it's arrival congrats on filling that gap in your collection!!

Tell us how much he charges you to sign it. Have a great day!! RSS I got is signed for the low, low price of 20.oo (not that it matters). I just hope I am still around at 86 years old. I guess he has not seen them yet and was a little fussy with Volo for not having them out for sale LOL!!! But he thought it was cool and asked where I keep coming up with the stuff I find. He wants me to call him soon so we can talk about my other Barris toys. Now I want to buy one of the kits to build |
