Excellent review. I too am searching for the perfect 1966 Batmobile. Ideally I'd love one that could do it ALL, Doors, hood, trunk open. Lights, sound EVERYTHING would be fantastic imo
Totally agree. I have the hot wheels elite version which has a lot of photo etch including the grills and bat radar on the hood. But no figures. I am so happy with it I have 2 of them to display in different displays. Congratulations on your new addition. It’s fantastic.
I agree with you on everything in this video. My brother is a vintage hot wheels and 1/18th diecast collector and he has that very Hot Wheels brand 66 Batmobile that you were showing but also took it to an Auto Rama show some few years ago and had George Barris who was on hand there is the creator of the Batmobile and he autographed the box for him! By the way, this is a compliment, you do look like Commisioner Gordon in the Batman TV series!👍
I just can't get enough '66 Batman content. Can't wait for your collection video. The Hot Wheels piece is definitely fantastic. Now that I've seen this, I'm thinking I've got to go hunting one of these on the secondary market. A great review Dean. Thx!
I bought a bat mobile 1966 it's from Mattel's it's solid metal diecast with the light on top out of glass in glass it was considered their Deluxe ultimate addition I bought it for someone who worked in the factory and I got it in the Box it would be shipped inside in another Box.i got it very cheap.ps Love your videos very detailed and I can see the Passion you have for toys
I got the Hot Wheels Elite when it came out and I thought it was beautiful. I might be more generous to the Super7 one because it's a toy, but I can't get over the matt finish on it. The best 'toy' Batmobile therefore becomes the Mattel 6-inch one.
Definitely a beautiful looking example Dean, I’m not up on Batman in any way, but that looks beautiful, don’t think that will be beaten any time soon 👍
Thanks Luke. Well, there is one that's coming out soon that will beat this, however, the $1500 asking price means that the one I just showed in this video will remain my number one.
@@AllThings80s I was just going to mention the Jazzinc one. Shame you can't get one. I bought mine over time with payments. They let you do that if you want one.
The ultimate '66 Batmobile is the 1/6th Jazz Inc one. Check that out if you haven't already seen one. Regarding the orange striping on the Jada, I saw one of the real Batmobiles at the World Of Wheels show in Chicago back in 1988 (w/Adam West and Burt Ward) and was surprised at just how orange the stripes and the bat on the doors are in real life. Studio lighting and color filters can mess with how colors appear as once they are on TV. The Aliens Pulse Rifle looks green on screen, but it is, in fact, brown. The same is true with Indiana Jones shirt. In the film, it looks off white, but the material it's made from is a light khaki color when you see it in person.
I have a couple of vintage Corgi 66 Batmobiles, who wants a video of those?🤔 Overall I agree that this may well be the best modern version of the Batmobile in this scale, can't wait for the tour video Dean. Cheers👍🏻🍻
Commenting before watching, I think I know which model you've chosen. I'll edit once I've watched. Personally I like 1/24 scale so looking for the 1/24 Jada toys model, already got the Bale Batmobile and bttf time machine Delorean. *Edit* I was kind of right. I guessed Hot Wheels but thought the Elite version.
First we seen the "Its a bit Sh!t" video of the Mezco playset, now this video!! We're always on the search for the ultimate 1966 Batmobile too! You have new fans here. Love your honest reviews and the content so we have subbed! We recently did a Batmobile collection vid of the 22 Batmobiles Andrew has. That may interest you too? Anyway. Love this channel Dean 🥰👍👍
Great choice Dean. The Hot Wheels Batmobile is the best one for me. If you ever get the chance try to find the Hot Wheels Elite version, it doesn’t have the figures but it does have openings trunk and hood. There is also a Super Elite but too expensive and not much more better than the regular Elite release. Well worth getting. Cheers 🥂.
That ones pretty awesome. Still love my Matty the most. Two questions though. 1. Have you seen the new 1/6 scale batmobile? Things gigantic. 2. Do u collect other batmobiles such as the 89?
I do like this and have the hotwheels elite that the door open and bonnet and boot opens but doesn't have the figures......looks good brother...good score ...is it dicast??
Yo Dean... Just watched the review.. I have to say that Apart from the orange trim, I reckon The Jada one definitely wins over this one. I'm assuming that the bonnet and boot don't open on the hot wheels one?
I have the Hot Wheels Batmobile not that one that has Batman and Robin inside it and the doors and hood and the truck all open but is never been out of the box because my friend George Barris gave it to me and it is autograph and he also gave me the Lincoln and it's also autograph he gave me at that he had in his office before he died
Looking forward to the Batman collection video Dean! From what I’ve seen so far we are in for a treat! By the way, are you contributing to Iconicon this year? Cheers!
@@ems3recombination208 It's my own fault. I was going through a bad time at the beginning of the year and said things I probably shouldn't have. Anyway, onwards and upwards.
Hey buddy I'm planning on buying this batmobile, would you happen yo know if the mcfarlane batman & robin figures fit in the car and looks proportionally well. Thanks
I didn't enjoy your video, You just cost me £140 British Pound Stirling, and I now have to find more space lol.. I have the original 66 first edition Corgi Red wheeled Batmobile and a silver wheeled (with tow hook) Batmobile along with many many others.. I've been wanting this Hotwheels Batmobile for sometime, but kept putting it off, because of room and the silly prices that they are selling for online.. But after watching your video, I decided to take the plunge.. So thank you.. haha.. Subscribed..
@AllThings80s Haha.. I thought you would be caught out by my comment... I'm happy that I found one that is in Mint condition and never been taken out of its box.. But this will change once I receive it, I keep very few things in their boxes. I like to display them and keep the boxes stored away.
Glad you finally found your perfect '66 Batmobile, Dean.
And I'm looking forward to seeing your Batman '66 collection video.

I bought the 1:6 scale 1966 Batmobile from jazz inc. I can't wait to receive it! Dean, check it out if you get the chance. You may want one as well!
I already received JazzInc's 1/6 scale Batmobile! So worth it.

Great Batmobile there Dean and is that an Optimus Prime Lego set I spot in the background? Can’t wait to see that video! 😎
Yes it is. I want to enjoy the building experience, so any video probably won't be out for a few weeks.
I have this great version, I knew the jada version looked funny with the orange parts instead of red.
I love your channel and your work. Thanks for sharing! I have two Hot Wheels 1:18s from 2007 (08) Very well done however no figures.
Thank you so much 👍🏻
The Hotwheels Batcycle is nice too.

@@AllThings80s trust Hot Wheels to come to the rescue Dean
@@AllThings80s genuine question Dean, what is the 66 bat mobile car based on /built around?
@@Kickback-dm7zt It was a Lincoln concept car that was used as the basis for the Batmobile.
Thanks for the details on the Hot Wheels Batmobile. Appreciate the reasons why you believe its the best in your collection.
not much room for improvement there, a beautiful looking model! 😍👍
Congratulations !👍
I have that Batmobile as well as the chrome version. Very nice collectible. Mine are from 2007 though and do not have the Batman and Robin figures.
I like the Jada one. Because of the light up features. Don't have it but I got the Mattel one for six inch figures.
Holy Hot Wheels, Batman! That looks very swish. 😎👍

Those Corgi 66 Batmobiles were the best. I had two of them as a kid as I had one and then I got the three pack with the Batboat and Batcopter.
Well, the Hot Wheels BCJ95 may be the best overall Batmobile with sitting figures and very nice detail.
👍🏻

Nice. Kind of a crown jewel for any collector. Well done !
That's a great Batmobile. I was bidding on one on eBay but I lost out. I can't wait to see the Batman collection tour.

Holy Grail Dean!
Beautiful review as always.
WOW! I thought the two figures only came with the ELITE version?
No, they also came with this cheaper version.
Very cool!!! Have you seen the JazzInc 1/6 scale 1966 Batmobile yet? Very expensive but very accurate and cool!!!
Yes, it looks absolutely amazing but it's just too expensive for me.
You should check out Jazz Inc. 66 Batmobile 1/6 scale
It's about damn time. Lol. 😂😂😂😂😂
That ones pretty awesome. Still love my Matty the most. Two questions though.
1. Have you seen the new 1/6 scale batmobile? Things gigantic.
2. Do u collect other batmobiles such as the 89?
I would live the 1'6 scale version to go with my Hot Toys figures, but $1500 is just far too much. I'm strictly a '66 Batman collector.
@@AllThings80s yeah that new ones pretty expensive. Awesome
I do like this and have the hotwheels elite that the door open and bonnet and boot opens but doesn't have the figures......looks good brother...good score ...is it dicast??
Yes it is.
@@AllThings80s
To cool..👍👌
Are you going to buy the Jazz Inc Batmobile?
I would love to but……..$1500.
@@AllThings80s Holy Second Mortgage!!!
Its a perfect batmobile brom 1966
👍🏻
Yo Dean... Just watched the review.. I have to say that Apart from the orange trim, I reckon The Jada one definitely wins over this one. I'm assuming that the bonnet and boot don't open on the hot wheels one?
Really? Ok, the Bonet and boot don't open on the Hot Wheels, but it's a much better constructed item.
Great video thank you, which batman and robin figures you have inside the batmobile. Thanks
These figures are part of the model and cannot be removed.
Thanks because I looked it up in ebay and I only see the batmobile with no figures and I typed up matell 1966 1/18 batmobile
I will continue looking
@@mn07206565 There were two different versions, one with figures and one without.

Hey buddy I'm planning on buying this batmobile, would you happen yo know if the mcfarlane batman & robin figures fit in the car and looks proportionally well. Thanks
There is no way the McFarlane figures can fit into this Batmobile. In fact, the figures are actually too big for the Batmobile that McFarlane makes.
