oh man! hard to tell from above, but that looks like a realistic cvpi

oh wow if any of those hit clearance I will get more
I am hoping for Gotham police officers now
I guess I can make due with the PTE SWAT guys I have

Ummm, I thought Jeffery Wright was cast as Lt. Gordon.

That was my reaction as well. He's very pale.

Spotted in Socal, also. Looks quite good, $30.
Also saw a Batman/Catwoman w/motorcycle at Walmart. Sorry, no picture.

I snagged the 'road damaged' Selina/Bruce set with the bike yday and it all kinda sucks. The Selina head is *fantastic* aside from the shiat-tier Mattelian third-piece neck-peg nonsense. But the articulation is merely passable while being wholly unsatisfactory in any significant way and the bike doesn't even have a steering front fork. SpinMasters is trying to split the middle between a kid's line and a collector's line and failing both, imho. Seeing as how they have the money to give Selina and most of the rest of their figures both an upper-knee swivel and a true mid-thigh swivel; the issues is *not* a lack of funding but rather a lack of competence.

I'll grab a couple more items in my never-ending quest to have a *good* 18th-scale Batman; but SpinMasters ain't gonna give it to me to simply buy; sadly.

Better images of the Batman stuff including a closer look at Gordon who does appear to "resemble" Jeffrey Wright.

thanks for that link.

i was so excited about 1:18 plastic CVPI..... too bad the roof opens like that. for $33 it's a pass for me. oh well now i don't have inner turmoil over which the batman set to buy.

yeah very disappointing police car
a clearance wait for sure

Finally saw the 4" Batmobile & 4" single card figs today.

Batmobile seems too wide, to be a 1:18 hot rod, to be honest. I snagged Penguin just to have a generic mobster if nothing else. He's a little tall for Pengy, imo. And the lack of a torso joint is just plain "LASER BLAST". Selena was meh - I was hoping to maybe bash her onto a better base fig, but the head looked cheap and just off... Definitely doesn't do Zoe Kravitz justice.

Hoping I can find the Batcave set someday just for dio fodder, but yeah, this whole line feels very cheap. It's sad- I already wasn't giving two craps about the movie and now there are no worthwhile toys to speak of. Back to customizing Batverse stuff out of MU figs, I guess.

is the 4" line batmobile 11" wide like the 12" scale one?

there are so many "the batman" cars. i need someone to go into target and take one of each out the box and post pics!

here is the 4" and 1:15 from spinmaster. the 1:15 has all the features of the jada rc cars so it might be a license thing.


they packaged them all wonky so even ruler pics don't help much. 1:15


spinmaster 1:20


there is also the spinmaster 12" scale one above i posted before.


1:10 hot wheels rc- is it $500 for real?


i just found this jada "next level" diecast version that says it's 1:18. i hate working with diecast so since i'm looking to customize whatever i get it's out. plus it's $60.


not to mention the various small ones i've seen.

And it's a guarantee that no 18th figure can actually sit in the 18th diecast Batmobile's driver seat, right?
