My friend Alex told me I really (laughs)
crossed the line buying my first vehicle, and he's
right! It does seem like a big step. And what better way to do it than with this very cool Brave & The Bold Batmobile...
There are at two other Batmobiles in this line of toys (Snap & Attack Batmobile and the Ultra Armor Batmobile), but I felt good about getting this first version for under fifteen bucks (shipping included), MIB. The others have all kinds of accessories, but I appreciate the simple, good-looking design of this 2009 model. Here's Battle Axe Batman popping the hatch- of the seven Batman figures I have from the line, he's the only one in the Silver Age blue and gray outfit...
and he comes with a battle axe (laughs)...
I had a black and red
Mego Batmobile when I was a little kid that I really loved, and getting this brought back the memories and a lot of good feelings :) Like that toy, there isn't much to this vehicle- just four wheels to roll your favorite action figure around in... what else do you need? Unlike the Mego Batmobile, this car has a clear blue cockpit hatch, that snaps closed neatly. I love the exaggerated design and front grill of this Batmobile- it's as though they combined elements of the original
1930's Batmobile (which was red), the
1950's Batmobile, the
1966 TV Batmobile, and
1989 Michael Keaton Batmobile. What a FUN toy!
Next up, my other Brave & The Bold "vehicle": Proto Bat-Bot! Same Bat-Time, Same Bat-Channel!
Holy Retro-licious, Batman! That's an AWESOME Batmobile!! By AWESOME, I meant I WANT one. GREAT score, especially at that price. That's just such a Fantastically FUN toy :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a slippery slope indeed...do you realise how much SPACE vehicles need? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat big axe is so un-batman in my opinion... Even the blue suit don't go down well with the black batmobil but I have to say the batmobil look really cool!
ReplyDeleteA fun toy indeed! But I still think you should get an Imaginext Batman to go with it - for scale purposes ;)
ReplyDeleteHey, you can't have a few Batmans without having a few Batmobiles, don't listen to them, keep doing what makes you happy, LOL.
ReplyDeleteAgain am agreeing with Bubba on this one Super-D. : )
