The figures in it are the new 6" figures from MacFarlane. They look too big for it so the Batmobile should scale better with 4" figures.

Yeah, that is why I said it is 1/18-ish.

Can't wait to find the Batcave playset - it definitely scales 1:18. I've only seen the figs, though - are all of these Target-only items?

They might be Target first exclusives then wide releases. Or Target has just been getting stuff on shelves sooner.

believe they are Target exclusives.

Not sure on the batmobile, having seen it in person. But I'll double check my thoughts on that.

Agree with Chief the batcave pieces are definitely working better in our scale, and can't wait to get my hands on them.

Batcave arrived. Haven’t opened yet, but can tell it’s perfect.

Gonna give a pass to the scale of the batmobile though. Smaller than the Mattel one, but still off. The funko one might be better, but the pending mezco one is the best bet

There isn’t an age at which I wouldn’t be thrilled to own this. It is what I’ve wanted since playing with a neighbor’s Mego Wayne Foundation and Batcave. It scales really well with Funko’s 4” Batman and Batmobile. I’m looking forward to doing some action shots with it.

The only nitpicks, no diagram for layout. I just copied the box, but, the prototype on the box isn’t quite accurate to what’s in the box. It looks like they removed 2” of wall between the picture and the product. So things look snug trying to replicate it. I’m going to try spreading it out a bit more later this weekend following screen caps from the show.

amazing. I plan to use some pieces from my existing set to extend the set over a whole shelf in my shop. What an embarrassing mess, scale-wise tho. I'm glad for it, and McFarlane will end up glad that so many 1:18 people scooped this all up.

Also, I returned the batmobile from my earlier post. I like the way the funko one looks in your pic, and will still keep fingers crossed on the eventual Mezco one.

Ok after another photoshoot, I have another nitpick. I wish the props had weight to them. I might glue some fishing weights on them somewhere. Since they’re tall and hollow and thin, they fall over soooo easily. You could probably use some double sided tape to hold them in place if you put on a not-so-stable shelf.

Oh, and every episode of the show apparently reconfigured where everything was. So except for the taller machines against the wall, everything moved.

But holy crap is it fun for essentially a back drop and props. I tried to show some typical fight moves they did in the cave. I need to find my bat microscope. Anyone know what I did with my Shakespeare bust?

Same observation about the light furniture/computer banks - they keep falling over. Will either end up gluing them or adding some weights to them.

But certainly not bad for $30. Not bad at all.
