@@JoshTurchetta So, each clear side panel comes with 2 bulbs in it, right? I removed both of those, and I used the forward-most bulb for the headlight (same connection point but extending the wiring so that it would reach the front of the car) and I used the rear-most bulb's connection point to wire the blue LED string. I did the same thing on both sides. So effectively, they're still powering the same amount of stuff they were before. If you connect too many to one point, they'll flicker or go dim.
@@Ibrahim_M Ah, I see! You used both strands of blue LEDs, one for each side? I use the forward most lights for the headlights as well. But only connected the string lights to one lead and ran one strand through the car and top. It looked much dimmer. But if both LED strands are being used, I can see how that would create a much brighter light.
I laughed out loud when I saw this upload. I knew from the last video you weren't going to leave it alone. being able to see the blue light thru the grill looks fantastic.
I just gotta say that I appreciate your videos so much because you include the how-to aspect of your build instead of just showing it off. I am just now jumping into customizing figures and this video definitely gives me some great options and a direction to go with my Batmobile. Thanks for the videos and keep up the great work!
Dude, thank you so much! These things are a lot of work to make, and a lot of people just skip to the end to see the finished product (which is fine, of course), but I show the process for people like you who want to try the upgrade themselves. So I really appreciate you saying this, it lets me know that it's worth the time and effort! Have a blast with yours, it's a great one to start with because it's not overly/needlessly complicated to customize, and the result is really satisfying. I bet you'll be hooked, haha. Have fun!
Killer work, Ibrahim. Really cool watching you work on it. Turned out so nice, and it was fun seeing your affection for the car grow along the way. Now you gotta customize the Alfred figure to say "No, sir, the OTHER car."
Very nice. A heatgun will soften the LED's in the panels if you don't want to risk breaking them. I don't think you need the black plastic inserts. It's just to collect the wires. So tape can resolve that. Glad you solved the Headlights issue because I didn't see a great way to wire it. I'll try that myself. I hope someone tries just replace the board altogether because the wiring is so simple that an arduino could open up a whole world.
Thanks! Yeah heat helps with a lot. I heated up the grille area as I was cutting it. Applying heat ti soften parts is a big part of customizing action figures.
Awesome!!! Since I grew up with the live show at Six Flags this Batmobile has been my favorite! It looks stunning and I'll definitely be trying to remake your mods when I get mine in
Oh man, that's so cool! I always used to love seein gthos Six Flags commercials, but we didn't have one in my state (not that anyone would have taken me anyway, haha). Have fun with yours! It was a fun project for sure.
Merci beaucoup, mon ami! I love the versatility of this one and how it has two different looks with and without lights. It's a very cool piece from McFarlane!
@@Ibrahim_M I had a lot of love for that movie, the batsuits and the batmobile, large inspirations from H.R.Giger with that organic feel to it. Can’t wait to get mine, I’m gonna try to work with miroirs cause I suck with wires 🤣 that’s why I admire your work so much !
Thank you so much! I’m not planning on getting the B&R version because I just don’t have an attachment to it, but I am curious to see what could be improved on it- it might be the most accurate one that McFarlane releases since there’s no roof and it’s already a one-seater. I will be building a tumbler next!
I knew you wouldn't be able to leave that beauty untouched funny colander thing,I wanted to make a grill for a car I moded and was about to do the same thing but I needed it black,happily I had a broken speaker that had some black mesh and it helped me ,I knew I was gonna use it some day and happened the same as you,anyways love the paint work on the car and as soon as I get my hands on it pretty much doing all the same stuff thanks for keeping your hands busy and us entertained,beautiful work buddy!!!
That is outstanding. Really worth the extra effort. I recently rewatched the movie to check the color (it does look greenish in some shots, so maybe McFarlane was going for that look) and only people with incredible eye for detail would be able to find anything wrong with yours. It looks just right.
Thank you very much! Yeah I watched it again the other day, too, and it’s definitely greenish in the scene where he drives up the wall. And it almost looks white in certain scenes, too. The headlights have a more yellow tint at certain gangles- all very subjective and I think that’s why McFarlane toys did both, haha
So awesome! This Batmobile was my favorite till the Tumbler came out. I always loved how it looked organic and alive it looked. Still one of my top 3. Great job
@Ibrahim_M man if I could afford one I would do the exact same. The original lights really bothered me about this. The lights toy put in and plus the head lights were a perfect touch.
@@Brandon240Ferguson Thank you, man! It's cool because with the 89 it needed SO much work. this one, much less to get it to look more accurate just sitting there.
Bro, that's an awesome job! The batmobile should've come like this in the first place. You got to make a Part 3 max it out! Add tail lights and light up that jet engine I'm sure everyone will enjoy. Also turn those wheels bluer. I'm pumped now! Thanks for the video.
Thank you, Darius! This one didn't have tail lights, and the speaker for the sounds is in the afterburner, so no room to rig something up. The wheels are pretty accurate-- it's the lights I added that should be a little less blue, haha
Hell yeah bro I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to customize this thing entirely! 😂 I’ve always been a huge fan of the Forever Batmobile. Idk why but something about it with those neon blue lights coming out of the vents with its really sharp silhouette was always incredibly striking to me. Turned out beautiful as always 👏🏼
Thank you, dude!! Haha, yeah I was lying to myself. Ended up having a lot of fun with this one. Waaaaay less of a headache to mess with than the 89, haha. Thanks as always for watching!
This is incredible. As always, setting the standard for Batmobile customs on RUclips! So splicing the blue LEDs into the existing power worked? Where did you make the connections?
Thank you very much! it did, yes! I was relieved, lol. I spliced them in where I disconnected the existing lights that were inserted into the clear side panels. They're all just 2 wires, +/-, so all you have to do is match the correct charge, twist them together, and use some electrical tape or shrink tubing to secure them. Super easy, just a little tedious!
@@Ibrahim_M wow, that's such a straightforward fix, thanks so much for explaining! I'm 100% gonna try exactly what you did here and this was the only part I was unsure about. Can't wait to get my Batmobile in! Thanks again for sharing all this man
@@Ibrahim_M thanks man, I can't wait to start. I'm actually trying get my space prepped for this beast of a car, which shelves do you have? Struggling to find ones that will fit this!
It's really worth it! I was surprised at how smooth it all went-- usually there's some underlying problem I couldn't have foreseen, but this was all straight forward. Just a little tedious!
Man, that's so true. I love how this movie took his goofy origin and costume and just made it and him look cool. The scene where he's doing laundry was so relatable to me as a kid, lol.
Dude that looks so sick. Did you end up throwing out the blue acrylic sheet from the earlier video and are just using those LEDs? Is it complicated to wire it to the wiring of the Batmobile?
Thank you! Yeah removed the acrylic and it’s just the blue LEDs now. The wiring is super easy; I just attached the + wires from the new LEDs to the + wired from the existing clubs that I removed, and the same with the negative. You just twist them together and use electrical tape or heat-shrink tubing to seal them up, and you’re good to go.
Thanks! Yeah I really love how a bit of TLC can really get these things to look like high end collectibles. I forgot to mention attaching the grille! I hot glued it in place. If I had cut it a little differently tension would have held it, but I cut a bit too much off for that to work, haha.
Thanks very much! It would probably be a bit challenging if it’s your first time doing something like this, but mostly it’s about having patience and taking your time. In the scope of other projects like this that I’ve done this was definitely one of the easier/simpler ones
Man... I am not confident enough to even attempt all this, and I'm still waiting for my Batmobile to be shipped from BBTS and I'm only hoping that by the time it arrives that I have completely forgotten how your customize Batmobile looks. This thing is just next level now, we'll done. And now i can never allow myself to watch this video again.... ever.
😂🙏🏼!! Thanks dude! Honestly this thing looks pretty good straight out of the box, I'm just an obsessive about this kind of stuff, lol. But this one is a really good one to try some small stuff to first and see how it feels! Maybe start with the step pads (I just cut them out with scissors and attached them with double-stick tape.
uhhh you should have done the inside... lol j/k. Did you add a wash to the rear turbine too? Also, I'm not sure if you have used rub n buff, but that works well with adding detail to areas like those side panels. Lastly did you possibly think about adding a rear light to the turbine? Thanks for sharing!
😂😂😂 I forgot to mention that I hit the rear afterburner with a little tint spray as well. But the screen used one wasn’t really weathered at all from what I could tell so I went with that. I didn’t try adding any lighting to it because the speaker is housed in there, so there’s not much room. I think it’s possible, but it would’ve added a lot more work and I was worried about how much I’m putting on the battery pack as it is, haha
Amazing work. You inspired me to start working on mine. Quick question, what type of chrome paint did you use for the side panels and is it the same you used for the front bumper?
@@mrpunisher123I used the LEDs that came in the car (from the side pieces) and I’m pretty sure they’re 5mm. You can use any size though, the main thing is the brightness. Check out evandesigns.com, they have a lot of great options with helpful pictures.
Hi there. I have a question. I’ve removed all the screws and the back end seems to co e free but the front doesn’t want to separate . Did you have a tough time separating the two main components?
Hello! Hmm, I didn’t with mine. Did you try wedging something between the top and bottom to shimmy it loose? Could just be that something is sticking and needs a little loosening.
Man, it filled up the last home on my shelf, and it looks so good with the other batmobiles! Hard to see it with the fin once you’ve seen it without, lol.
Crazy question: do you have any plans to recreate the two-seater interior from the movie? Or do you know of anyone who has? I customize 1/12 scale figures so hopefully they'd fit.
I typically only do 1/12 myself so this was an exception. Check out the earlier part of the video- I talk about the possibility of it being a 2-seater a bit in the first 5min or so
After really looking at this batmobile. This aint so bad. I agree; the big fin is distracting. If it didn't have the ribbing, or fin it would look pretty slick.
Y'know, I never thought about this, but if it JUST had the ribbing on the front and the top, and none on the sides, and lost that big fin, it would look like incredible.
This is awesome. I wasn't a huge fan of this Batmobile either due to the big wing, but I had to have it for my collection. I love what you did to customize it . I watched your video on the 89 and copied what you did to the canopy. I make it a point to tell everyone that asks about it , that I got the idea from you, and send them a link to your video. Were you able to just tie the new lights you added to the existing wiring ?
Dude, thank you so much, I really appreciate that! And I'm really happy that you were able to mod your canopy-- I know everyone who was able to give it a try felt much better about it after it looked more correct, lol. Yeah, the lights were SUPER simple-- I should have showed a bit of the wiring process. You just match the existing +/- wires with those from the new ones, twist them together and use some electrical tape to close them off. You'll probably have to strip away a bit of the plastic sleeve to expose some of the copper wiring first.
Yknow, I don’t think I have rolled this thing at all 😂 which is weird to say because it’s a car, lol. I’ll roll it next time I’m with it and if there’s anything weird about it I’ll reply here again 🤜🤛
Yeah they mentioned that in the documentary I was talking about- it’s so funny how they didn’t really get what they wanted from him, so they just had to imitate what they thought he was gonna do 😂
Very nice! Since you were 10 when the movie came out, what did you think about the change from Michael Keaton to Val Kilmer? Was it something you cared or noticed when you were little? I actually didn't mind the change in actor but I really did not like the movie or the change in tone, but I was in high school when it came out.
Oh man, that's such a good question. I remember thinking it was weird that it changed actors-- I love Superman the most and Reeve was in all 4 of those, so that was my benchmark. BUT, I remember really not caring for Batman Returns as a kid because I felt like Batman was barely in it, and there was too much weird Penguin stuff, lol. (I like it more now, of course). But Forever had A LOT of Batman, and it had really good Bruce stuff in it, too, and that's always been my favorite thing, when he has to balance both (something I took away from Superman and Zorro). So all in all, I was perfectly fine with it, and I also didn't have any prior knowledge of Val Kilmer back then, so it was easy to solidify him as Batman in my head.
@@Ibrahim_M I watched both Keaton movies in theaters and loved them both. I did like Val Kilmer because of Willow and another movie but I don't remember which one so I liked him, just not the movie.
@@Ibrahim_M Nope. I have always liked Val Kilmer in the role, I liked that they finally introduce Robin, I liked Jim Carey as the Riddler, I liked how they did keep the same Alfred, and I liked Nicole Kidman and the "Kiss from a Rose" song. That's it.
I was a cynical guy in college and a Keaton fan, and liked it, a few friends didn't LOL. Kilmer does great, he's a different kind of quirky. I remember disliking Carrey's MASK and possibly getting bored and walking out (?), but to me Batman Forever was honestly pretty good in all respects including him. Maybe exclude the weird glow-in-the-dark part, like, is this West Side Story? Nice to see Two-Face in live-action for once, and Robin too, although I think of Chris O'Donnell as basically Nightwing here. I have an idea that young Ke Huy Quan w/stunts & martial arts in the one Indiana Jones movie is proof-of-concept for a true kid Robin at some point.
i was waiting for this video :) you really did a great job. it was already nice as is but f*ck this thing is amazing with the modification. i think i will do the front when i get mine.
@Ibrahim_M oh yea i forgot you said it, it would been cool to see but i understand just wish it could been 2 seater to begin with but i plan on doing some photography with this batmobile i hope for snow that batmobile in snow would be so dope to do
@@Boomer_Schooner_24 No, I'm gonna skip that one-- I've never liked it. Kind of tempting to complete the set, but I have other stuff I'd rather use the shelf space for, haha.
I wasn´t interested in the lame McFarlane electronics (nor the Alfred figure) and that's why I grabbed the GlowInDark Amazon exclusive. I knew I had to paint the teal clear plastic and improve the lighting just like you did. I'm also considering modding the cockpit windows for see through.
Well done, I planned on doing the same thing with white lights weaved along the ribs because white is screen accurate if McFarlane toy store will ever ship my damn batmobile it's been on "label created" for 14 days now and they just say the labels are printed in advance for expedited shipping but 14 days doesn't seem very expedited to me, so they got this week and I'm cancelling my order!
@@Ibrahim_M I was actually debating on painting the glow in the dark pieces and lighting that version instead and cancelling the Alfred one because I planned on using the Mattel Batman forever figure and Alfred for this batmobile anyway plus I don't like the lights or blinking and the sounds suck!
@@scottmcclary594 YEah, you could absolutely do that! There's a great lighting website I like to use called Evan Designs, and they have all kinds of kits and battery packs. the lighting is super simple; if you get one of the battery holders from them you can hook any 3 volt lights up to it. All you have to do it twist the ends together (+ to + and - to -). evandesigns.com/products/aa-holder-with-switch?_pos=3&_fid=fbe842895&_ss=c
Thanks! Those look really amazing already, I'm not sure what I would do to it, haha. But I did actually customize an old RC Dodge Charger for my Blade figure a few years ago-- one of my first videos here on the channel!
@@OscarDiaz-mp5cx I wired them into the wires that I got the headlights from. So I basically swapped them out for the original bulbs in the side pieces.
Thanks, Carlos! Lol now that you mention it, I didn't even look inside at all to see what it looks like now 😂 When I post the Panther suit batman custom I'll show the inside!
Not sure what McFarlane toys are doing making something so mediocre with the 1995 batman forever batmobile so i for one had been waiting for years for someone to do a 1/6 scale forever batmobile and yes i know about JazzInc but that's a steep price 1,449.00$ and so McFarlane makes one and doesn't do it proper justice with how everything is green instead of blue 79.99$ is cheap too though it was like over 150$-200$ McFarlane should hire you to come onboard and show them how to really make it look so good as this is 100% screen accurate well done dude.
Thank you! I I'm sure they have to balance keeping it a certain price point with how much detail they can put in, and which stores will carry it, etc. But I do wish they would do a premium line and a base line, that would be really cool. Although it's more fun for me when I get to fix them up, haha.
One funky thing I realized while watching this video is that unlike the Batman 89 Batmobile, this one has no taillights. But apparently that's screen accurate. I think the Batman 66 Batmobile didn't have them either. 🤔
@@Ibrahim_M The one that personally pees me off is the Knightfall Batman, fantastic scupt but colours all wrong - blue & grey far too light & no silver claws!
Once again, you've ruined this toy for me. How could I ever be satisfied with the stock lump of plastic knowing that it could be turned into this masterpiece if only I had the skills. Saved me $80!!
Why are you complaining so much in this video? If you’re not interested in audience engagement or feedback, then don’t complain when people stop watching or interacting with your work. In the first five minutes, you dismiss comments suggesting how you could’ve done things differently, yet somehow it bothers you when people don’t give you credit for recreating your work. This comes across as contradictory and makes it hard to sympathize. You started the video complaining, and ended it on the same negative note. This community doesn’t need constant whining. Be more appreciative of your audience, without them, you wouldn’t even have a career as a comic book artist or a RUclipsr. Your viewers are the reason you have any platform at all, and constantly complaining is only going to drive them away. The world doesn’t revolve around you. It's time to grow up and show some gratitude.
I’m sorry that you’re so triggered by me drawing some guidelines here. I respond to every one who comments on my videos (a form of gratitude and community engagement, you see), and so I like to let people know that there are certain kinds of comments that aren’t productive for me or them. You don’t know the kinds of comments I received in previous videos; this is me setting some parameters for my own channel. I’m not doing it for you, so you don’t need to be so invested in it. You may have to eat whatever is served to you in your professional life, but I don’t have to in mine, and that’s something I’m grateful for. Folks with your mindset think that it’s negative to stand up for oneself, and that creative people have to just smile and give thanks to people who don’t act right. I’m sorry you feel that way. It’s never been my practice to “shut up and dribble”, and it’s worked out very well for me. Don’t presume to tell me about my career, you know nothing about it or my field of work. Or maybe you just don’t like getting credit for the work you do at your job, idk. Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH for watching.
@@Ibrahim_M No one’s “triggered” by your guidelines. The issue is your constant dismissal of feedback, which demonstrates a sense of entitlement. You claim to appreciate your audience, but when you immediately shut down suggestions or criticism, it becomes clear that what you really want is blind praise. If you're not interested in what people have to say, then don’t pretend to be. Just don’t expect anyone to stick around when they realize you're only interested in stroking your own ego. You also seem to take any form of feedback as a personal attack. It’s not “negative” to point out that you’re coming off as ungrateful and overly defensive. When you put content out in a public forum, feedback, positive or negative, is part of the deal. If you can’t handle it, maybe reconsider your platform. No one’s asking you to “shut up and dribble,” but if you think you’re above hearing from the people who helped build your career, then that says a lot about your character. Your sarcasm with “THANK YOU SO MUCH for watching” adds another layer of your self-centered attitude. If you really cared about your audience, you’d be able to engage with feedback in a productive way instead of instantly shooting it down. Maybe take a moment to consider that the problem isn’t with the comments or the community, but with the way you choose to respond to them. At this rate, the only thing you’ll succeed in driving away is the very audience you claim to care about, idk. Anyways, HAVE A BEAUTIFUL REST OF YOUR DYING CAREER FAILED ARTIST IBRAHIM MOUSTAFA.😀
I have the Mattel 1/12 version but it's pretty great as they made it, so I don't really feel like it needs any work, I'm afraid! IT's very nicely detailed. Thanks for asking!
Hello there, big fan of your channel and your insta posts showing your modifications to mcfarlane vehicle. I am in hopes you can help advise me or tell me how to do a modification on the mcfarlane tumbler front end to make it more accurate. I'm honestly surprised I haven't seen anyone do this yet. Or any posts about it. I was in hopes there was a 3d print I could buy and simply snap or glue on over the existing one. Let me know if this is something you are also planning on doing, trying or where I could go to find this print. I do not have a 3d printer myself so I would need to purchase it or a file to have printed or made. I wasn't sure the best way to contact you so I sent a message to all of your socials. Thank you.
Hey Dave, thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it! I passed on the McFarlane Tumbler because I had the Modoking version on preorder (I have it here waiting to be assembled, lol). I saw one person (in CHina, I think?) over on IG who made some body modifications to it using styrene, and then they used a 3D printed front end. But it was one of those accounts who only posts pictures and never has any kind of details about what/how they did things, and doesn't seem to answer anyone's questions about it-- you know the type, lol. If I come across it again I'll send you the link. But I don't think they were selling a print or file (but I didn't ask). I don't have any plans to do one, but if I did, I'd be using styrene. First I'd create a template out of thin cardboard (like what a cereal box is made of or thereabouts), figuring out measurements, etc. Then I'd cut the final pieces out of styrene sheets (here's a link to an assortment pack if you want an idea of which thicknesses they come in). I like Bob Smith Industries CA glue for this stuff: amzn.to/3zHtzBf I don't have that Tumbler, obviously, but I think you could most likely just build something to glue right onto the existing piece. I hope that helps!
I've had a lot of questions about how to connect the lights, so I wanted to pop in with a comment to explain it. Connecting LED lights is super simple; they have a + wire and a - wire.

what a transformation! totally agree about losing the big fin. impressive work!
Thank you, my friend! Yeah, so far 9/10 people are in favor of no big fin, haha.
Killer work, Ibrahim. Really cool watching you work on it. Turned out so nice, and it was fun seeing your affection for the car grow along the way. Now you gotta customize the Alfred figure to say "No, sir, the OTHER car."
Thanks so much, dude! Haha, that's probably my favorite Michael Gough Alfred line read in all 4 of his movies as the character.
Very nice.
A heatgun will soften the LED's in the panels if you don't want to risk breaking them.
I don't think you need the black plastic inserts. It's just to collect the wires. So tape can resolve that.
Glad you solved the Headlights issue because I didn't see a great way to wire it. I'll try that myself.

I recently rewatched the movie to check the color (it does look greenish in some shots, so maybe McFarlane was going for that look) and only people with incredible eye for detail would be able to find anything wrong with yours. It looks just right.
Thank you very much! Yeah I watched it again the other day, too, and it’s definitely greenish in the scene where he drives up the wall. And it almost looks white in certain scenes, too. The headlights have a more yellow tint at certain gangles- all very subjective and I think that’s why McFarlane toys did both, haha
So awesome! This Batmobile was my favorite till the Tumbler came out. I always loved how it looked organic and alive it looked. Still one of my top 3. Great job
Thanks so much, man! That means a lot coming from someone who really loves this version of the car!
This is amazing! It looks so much better and screen accurate
Thank you, Brandon! I'm much happier now when I look at it, lol.
@Ibrahim_M man if I could afford one I would do the exact same. The original lights really bothered me about this. The lights toy put in and plus the head lights were a perfect touch.
@@Brandon240Ferguson Thank you, man! It's cool because with the 89 it needed SO much work. this one, much less to get it to look more accurate just sitting there.
Another fire custom. I'll definitely be doing this to mine. I look forward to the Val Kilmer batman. I want to do one mezco style
Thanks man! Yeah I’d love to do one in mezco style eventually, too.
DUDE. So much better! You did a bang up job!
Thank you, Blacky!!
This was an amazing upgrade on a batmobile I cant stand. Great work!!!!
Hahaha thanks, dude! I gotta say, the more I look at it, the more I like it. I'm starting to appreciate the weirdness of it, lol.
Looks great man! Thanks for the video 👍
You're welcome, man! Thank YOU!
🤯 Wow!!! INCREDIBLE work to say the least! 👏 What an artist! 🙇♂️
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
great work as always, im so happy mcfarlane is making toys from these old movies even if they are imperfect love your videos
Thanks, Danny! Yeah, me too. It’s so cool that they’re coming out when we’re at an age where we can really appreciate them, too. Haha.
I was really bumped out that you weren’t going to customize this originally. Now I have a nice tutorial to customize mine! Thank you sir 🫡
Oh man, I’m glad! You’re welcome, dude! Thanks very much 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Bro, that's an awesome job! The batmobile should've come like this in the first place. You got to make a Part 3 max it out! Add tail lights and light up that jet engine I'm sure everyone will enjoy. Also turn those wheels bluer. I'm pumped now! Thanks for the video.
Thank you, Darius! This one didn't have tail lights, and the speaker for the sounds is in the afterburner, so no room to rig something up. The wheels are pretty accurate-- it's the lights I added that should be a little less blue, haha
@Ibrahim_M You really got me inspired for the car now. I can't wait to get mine.
pretty bloody brilliant
Thanks so much, William!
Just like the 89 batmobile you did, that looks amazing mate 👍, I only sprayed my 2nd 89 one
Thank you, sir! Now that I've seen the Jazzinc 89, I want to go back and tint the wheels on mine to be more bronze, lol
I would like to get the upgrade kits for the 89 batmobile, atleast I know I wouldn't ruin it 😂
You did a fantasic job with this Batmobile. This is how it should have came out of the box!
Thank you very much! On the one hand I agree, and on the other hand, I'm kind of glad it didn't because this was fun to do 😂
So cool! You did an amazing job on it! 😍
Thank you, Mython!!
another great customizing vid! Thx for sharing the process dood!
Elijah! Thank you my friend! Appreciate you watching, as always!
Hell yeah bro I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to customize this thing entirely! 😂 I’ve always been a huge fan of the Forever Batmobile. Idk why but something about it with those neon blue lights coming out of the vents with its really sharp silhouette was always incredibly striking to me. Turned out beautiful as always 👏🏼
Thank you, dude!! Haha, yeah I was lying to myself. Ended up having a lot of fun with this one. Waaaaay less of a headache to mess with than the 89, haha. Thanks as always for watching!
This is incredible. As always, setting the standard for Batmobile customs on RUclips! So splicing the blue LEDs into the existing power worked? Where did you make the connections?
Thank you very much! it did, yes! I was relieved, lol. I spliced them in where I disconnected the existing lights that were inserted into the clear side panels. They're all just 2 wires, +/-, so all you have to do is match the correct charge, twist them together, and use some electrical tape or shrink tubing to secure them. Super easy, just a little tedious!
@@Ibrahim_M wow, that's such a straightforward fix, thanks so much for explaining! I'm 100% gonna try exactly what you did here and this was the only part I was unsure about. Can't wait to get my Batmobile in! Thanks again for sharing all this man
@@TwoTown You're very welcome, man! Thanks so much. I hope you have a good time tricking yours out!
@@Ibrahim_M thanks man, I can't wait to start. I'm actually trying get my space prepped for this beast of a car, which shelves do you have? Struggling to find ones that will fit this!
This came out cool brother!
Thank you my dude! I appreciate it!
Mines here in the box and I’m considering ordering everything you linked and following your recipe.
It's really worth it! I was surprised at how smooth it all went-- usually there's some underlying problem I couldn't have foreseen, but this was all straight forward. Just a little tedious!
I ❤ anything to do with this movie I like the design because it modified the esthetic of Dick Sprang's badassness.🦇👍
Man, that's so true. I love how this movie took his goofy origin and costume and just made it and him look cool. The scene where he's doing laundry was so relatable to me as a kid, lol.
Great custom homie
Thank you, dude! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
That’s brilliant, looks realistic.
Thank you, sir!
Bad ass custom 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you, dude!🙏🏼
Very cool. Nice work.
Thanks very much!
Wow dude, amazing!
Thank you my brother!
Lmao as soon as I heard you say “I’m not gonna do it…” I knew you were gonna do it!!! Hahaha it looks beyond awesome brother great stuff as always!
😂😂😂 thank you, my brother!! Famous last words- I knew I was lying to myself, haha. Appreciate you watching, bro! 🙏🏼
oh man that looks so fucking sick, dude. great work. Can't wait to see the batman
Thank you bro! I’m pumped to get him finished!
Dude that looks so sick. Did you end up throwing out the blue acrylic sheet from the earlier video and are just using those LEDs? Is it complicated to wire it to the wiring of the Batmobile?
Thank you! Yeah removed the acrylic and it’s just the blue LEDs now. The wiring is super easy; I just attached the + wires from the new LEDs to the + wired from the existing clubs that I removed, and the same with the negative. You just twist them together and use electrical tape or heat-shrink tubing to seal them up, and you’re good to go.
Ho wow, you’ve pushed it to a whole another level! It looks darn good. Do you know if adding an extra wing would be hard to do?
Thanks very much! Yeah, It would be a big challenge. It's possible, but it would take a lot of trail and error and tedious cutting and sanding.
It came out awsome
Thank you, Brian!
Looks great 👍
Thanks, Jason! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You can use silver aluminum tape to reflect the light throughout the sides of the car.
You probably could, yes!
Looks great. It just shows with a little more detail Mcfarlane could make these so much more movie accurate. How did you attach the grille?
Thanks! Yeah I really love how a bit of TLC can really get these things to look like high end collectibles. I forgot to mention attaching the grille! I hot glued it in place. If I had cut it a little differently tension would have held it, but I cut a bit too much off for that to work, haha.
Espectacular 🎉
Thank you!
love the work you did on the Batmobile I'm thinking to do one too was it hard to do it
Thanks very much! It would probably be a bit challenging if it’s your first time doing something like this, but mostly it’s about having patience and taking your time. In the scope of other projects like this that I’ve done this was definitely one of the easier/simpler ones
Man... I am not confident enough to even attempt all this, and I'm still waiting for my Batmobile to be shipped from BBTS and I'm only hoping that by the time it arrives that I have completely forgotten how your customize Batmobile looks.
This thing is just next level now, we'll done.
And now i can never allow myself to watch this video again.... ever.
😂🙏🏼!! Thanks dude! Honestly this thing looks pretty good straight out of the box, I'm just an obsessive about this kind of stuff, lol. But this one is a really good one to try some small stuff to first and see how it feels! Maybe start with the step pads (I just cut them out with scissors and attached them with double-stick tape.
It's very well done, really.
uhhh you should have done the inside... lol j/k. Did you add a wash to the rear turbine too? Also, I'm not sure if you have used rub n buff, but that works well with adding detail to areas like those side panels. Lastly did you possibly think about adding a rear light to the turbine? Thanks for sharing!
😂😂😂 I forgot to mention that I hit the rear afterburner with a little tint spray as well. But the screen used one wasn’t really weathered at all from what I could tell so I went with that. I didn’t try adding any lighting to it because the speaker is housed in there, so there’s not much room. I think it’s possible, but it would’ve added a lot more work and I was worried about how much I’m putting on the battery pack as it is, haha
Amazing work!!!!
Thank you very much!!
Awesome work
Thank you very much!
Amazing work. You inspired me to start working on mine. Quick question, what type of chrome paint did you use for the side panels and is it the same you used for the front bumper?
Thanks so much, dude, I'm really glad to hear that! I used a Krylon chrome spray paint on those. Similar to this: amzn.to/3NILD1a
@@Ibrahim_M thanks! Much appreciated. Btw would a 3mm led be too big for the head lights or go for a 1.8mm
@@mrpunisher123I used the LEDs that came in the car (from the side pieces) and I’m pretty sure they’re 5mm. You can use any size though, the main thing is the brightness. Check out evandesigns.com, they have a lot of great options with helpful pictures.
@@Ibrahim_M thanks so much for the info. Hopefully I can get it done soon and I’ll share it to give you a shout out!
@@mrpunisher123 You're welcome, dude! Have fun-- I can't wait to see it when it's done!
Hi there. I have a question. I’ve removed all the screws and the back end seems to co e free but the front doesn’t want to separate . Did you have a tough time separating the two main components?
Hello! Hmm, I didn’t with mine. Did you try wedging something between the top and bottom to shimmy it loose? Could just be that something is sticking and needs a little loosening.
@@Ibrahim_M hey, thanks. I will try wedging something in between.
Love having this added to the fleet. I'm not going to lie, I kinda dig how it looks without the big fin on it.
Man, it filled up the last home on my shelf, and it looks so good with the other batmobiles! Hard to see it with the fin once you’ve seen it without, lol.
I pray ramen toy makes something like this because this is out of this world.
Thank you! That would be really cool if they did. I know they watch my videos, so maybe this will give them some ideas 🙌🏼
You have a link for the mesh wire on the hood and the 1/10 diamond plating?
The diamond plating link is in the description, but I don’t have one for the mesh, it was an item I already had for years that broke, haha.
Crazy question: do you have any plans to recreate the two-seater interior from the movie? Or do you know of anyone who has? I customize 1/12 scale figures so hopefully they'd fit.
I typically only do 1/12 myself so this was an exception. Check out the earlier part of the video- I talk about the possibility of it being a 2-seater a bit in the first 5min or so
After really looking at this batmobile. This aint so bad.
I agree; the big fin is distracting.
If it didn't have the ribbing, or fin it would look pretty slick.
Y'know, I never thought about this, but if it JUST had the ribbing on the front and the top, and none on the sides, and lost that big fin, it would look like incredible.
I had zero interest in this one until I saw how you fixed it. Incredible work.
Thanks very much! It made me care a lot more about it, too, haha.
Gj looks amzing 😊👍
Thank you very much!
The blue lights how many did you have to order?
If you use the link I put in the description, you will receive a set of 2 with one purchase. I used both, one for each side.
This is awesome. I wasn't a huge fan of this Batmobile either due to the big wing, but I had to have it for my collection. I love what you did to customize it . I watched your video on the 89 and copied what you did to the canopy. I make it a point to tell everyone that asks about it , that I got the idea from you, and send them a link to your video. Were you able to just tie the new lights you added to the existing wiring ?
Dude, thank you so much, I really appreciate that! And I'm really happy that you were able to mod your canopy-- I know everyone who was able to give it a try felt much better about it after it looked more correct, lol.
Yeah, the lights were SUPER simple-- I should have showed a bit of the wiring process. You just match the existing +/- wires with those from the new ones, twist them together and use some electrical tape to close them off. You'll probably have to strip away a bit of the plastic sleeve to expose some of the copper wiring first.
Thanks for the info. I'm gonna try doing this soon. I appreciate your work, and you taking the time to reply.
@@ss85350 You're welcome, and thanks again!
Hey, is does the wheel on this car not roll as smooth as I thought?
Yknow, I don’t think I have rolled this thing at all 😂 which is weird to say because it’s a car, lol. I’ll roll it next time I’m with it and if there’s anything weird about it I’ll reply here again 🤜🤛
Dude so awesome
Thank you, man!!
Oh! Oh my 😻
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼!!
Giger actually did a concept for this car but it was waaaay over the top. The designers took inspiration in his work to design the final forever bat.
Yeah, to me, this is always gonna be a Giger’s Batmobile, even though his scissor design Batmobile was not used.
Yeah they mentioned that in the documentary I was talking about- it’s so funny how they didn’t really get what they wanted from him, so they just had to imitate what they thought he was gonna do 😂
Very nice! Since you were 10 when the movie came out, what did you think about the change from Michael Keaton to Val Kilmer? Was it something you cared or noticed when you were little? I actually didn't mind the change in actor but I really did not like the movie or the change in tone, but I was in high school when it came out.
Oh man, that's such a good question. I remember thinking it was weird that it changed actors-- I love Superman the most and Reeve was in all 4 of those, so that was my benchmark. BUT, I remember really not caring for Batman Returns as a kid because I felt like Batman was barely in it, and there was too much weird Penguin stuff, lol. (I like it more now, of course). But Forever had A LOT of Batman, and it had really good Bruce stuff in it, too, and that's always been my favorite thing, when he has to balance both (something I took away from Superman and Zorro). So all in all, I was perfectly fine with it, and I also didn't have any prior knowledge of Val Kilmer back then, so it was easy to solidify him as Batman in my head.
@@Ibrahim_M I watched both Keaton movies in theaters and loved them both. I did like Val Kilmer because of Willow and another movie but I don't remember which one so I liked him, just not the movie.
@@somarriba333 Has it grown on you over time? I find that happens to me with a lot of stuff.
@@Ibrahim_M Nope. I have always liked Val Kilmer in the role, I liked that they finally introduce Robin, I liked Jim Carey as the Riddler, I liked how they did keep the same Alfred, and I liked Nicole Kidman and the "Kiss from a Rose" song. That's it.
I was a cynical guy in college and a Keaton fan, and liked it, a few friends didn't LOL. Kilmer does great, he's a different kind of quirky. I remember disliking Carrey's MASK and possibly getting bored and walking out (?), but to me Batman Forever was honestly pretty good in all respects including him. Maybe exclude the weird glow-in-the-dark part, like, is this West Side Story? Nice to see Two-Face in live-action for once, and Robin too, although I think of Chris O'Donnell as basically Nightwing here. I have an idea that young Ke Huy Quan w/stunts & martial arts in the one Indiana Jones movie is proof-of-concept for a true kid Robin at some point.
i was waiting for this video :) you really did a great job. it was already nice as is but f*ck this thing is amazing with the modification. i think i will do the front when i get mine.
Thanks very much, dude! Haha, you knew I wasn't going to be able to let it go. The front grille is pretty painless and really levels it up!
Are you thinking about making this a 2 seater?
Not planning to, I talk about the reasons why in the video. Excellent display piece, tho!
@Ibrahim_M oh yea i forgot you said it, it would been cool to see but i understand just wish it could been 2 seater to begin with but i plan on doing some photography with this batmobile i hope for snow that batmobile in snow would be so dope to do
@@Boomer_Schooner_24 Oh man, that would be sick! I think with the right angle you could make it look like there's room for a passenger seat there
@@Ibrahim_M its just big miss on mcfarlane part will u be getting the batman and robin batmobile?
@@Boomer_Schooner_24 No, I'm gonna skip that one-- I've never liked it. Kind of tempting to complete the set, but I have other stuff I'd rather use the shelf space for, haha.
I wasn´t interested in the lame McFarlane electronics (nor the Alfred figure) and that's why I grabbed the GlowInDark Amazon exclusive. I knew I had to paint the teal clear plastic and improve the lighting just like you did.
I'm also considering modding the cockpit windows for see through.
Yeah I really like how there were two versions of this, and that you can mod them both to the same end result. Have fun, dude!
where did you connect the headlight wires to?
When I removed the existing lights in those clear side panels, (4 of them) I used the existing wires to connect the new lights.
@@Ibrahim_M did you use 3mm for headlights? Where you got the string lights?
@@williams8148 link for the lights in the description, and I describe the headlights in the video
@@williams8148 Here's a great video on how to connect LED lights to the wires! ruclips.net/video/Yp8lU0zZOuM/видео.htmlsi=OGeP22KCRaDLmhTD
Well done, I planned on doing the same thing with white lights weaved along the ribs because white is screen accurate if McFarlane toy store will ever ship my damn batmobile it's been on "label created" for 14 days now and they just say the labels are printed in advance for expedited shipping but 14 days doesn't seem very expedited to me, so they got this week and I'm cancelling my order!
Thanks! Aw man, that's super frustrating. I hate being in shipping limbo. I hope it gets to you soon!
@@Ibrahim_M I was actually debating on painting the glow in the dark pieces and lighting that version instead and cancelling the Alfred one because I planned on using the Mattel Batman forever figure and Alfred for this batmobile anyway plus I don't like the lights or blinking and the sounds suck!
@@scottmcclary594 YEah, you could absolutely do that! There's a great lighting website I like to use called Evan Designs, and they have all kinds of kits and battery packs. the lighting is super simple; if you get one of the battery holders from them you can hook any 3 volt lights up to it.

The ones that I took out from the clear side pieces.
@@Ibrahim_M ahhh okay got it thank you!
@@OscarDiaz-mp5cx You bet!
@@Ibrahim_M what did you tie the blue lights into?
@@OscarDiaz-mp5cx I wired them into the wires that I got the headlights from. So I basically swapped them out for the original bulbs in the side pieces.

Val is my favorite batman
He was one of the best, imo!
Dope 🔥
Thank you, sir!
Pensaba que ya venía con luces led ese batimobile según videos visto 🤔🤔🤔
Yes it does
For the black panther suit, just take Val Kilmer's head and put it on the George Clooney body. Mcfarlane left the cowl black for that reason.
That’s giving McFarlane way too much credit, lol. But if you watch the end of this video, you’ll see that’s exactly what I did.
Awsome work bro you didn't show us the inside how lit up it is since the make over we want too see the inside
Thanks, Carlos! Lol now that you mention it, I didn't even look inside at all to see what it looks like now 😂 When I post the Panther suit batman custom I'll show the inside!
@@Ibrahim_M yes sir 💯
Ha ha! I knew this was coming!
LOL I couldn't resist!!
👏👏👏
Thank you, Paul!
Not sure what McFarlane toys are doing making something so mediocre with the 1995 batman forever batmobile
so i for one had been waiting for years for someone to do a 1/6 scale forever batmobile and yes i know about JazzInc but that's a steep price 1,449.00$
and so McFarlane makes one and doesn't do it proper justice with how everything is green instead of blue 79.99$ is cheap too though it was like over 150$-200$
McFarlane should hire you to come onboard and show them how to really make it look so good as this is 100% screen accurate well done dude.
Thank you! I I'm sure they have to balance keeping it a certain price point with how much detail they can put in, and which stores will carry it, etc. But I do wish they would do a premium line and a base line, that would be really cool. Although it's more fun for me when I get to fix them up, haha.
One funky thing I realized while watching this video is that unlike the Batman 89 Batmobile, this one has no taillights. But apparently that's screen accurate. I think the Batman 66 Batmobile didn't have them either. 🤔
Yeah, I think the 89 and the Pattinson are the only batmobiles with tail lights!
@@Ibrahim_M😮
I honestly think McFarlane is doing this on purpose with everyone of their vehicles… just not making them quite right
Macfarlane never gets anything quite right, even on the figures!
LOL it's starting to feel that way! I know some of it is due to cost/mass production.
@@Ibrahim_M The one that personally pees me off is the Knightfall Batman, fantastic scupt but colours all wrong - blue & grey far too light & no silver claws!
I hate that they never make the cars with front steering
That would be cool. It’s possible to do it ourselves but it takes a lot of work.
edited bc everybody already said the obvious :P Great video as always!
Haha, thanks, Sebastian! I appreciate you, dude!
😂😂😂
LOL You know I had to do it!
Once again, you've ruined this toy for me. How could I ever be satisfied with the stock lump of plastic knowing that it could be turned into this masterpiece if only I had the skills. Saved me $80!!
😂😂 I’m glad you are $80 richer now!
Nothing on you but, that car model looks terrible. The model kit looks better. I also modified the model as well.
Oh man, here I was enjoying it like a sap- Thanks for letting us know that it sucks.
Why are you complaining so much in this video? If you’re not interested in audience engagement or feedback, then don’t complain when people stop watching or interacting with your work. In the first five minutes, you dismiss comments suggesting how you could’ve done things differently, yet somehow it bothers you when people don’t give you credit for recreating your work. This comes across as contradictory and makes it hard to sympathize.
You started the video complaining, and ended it on the same negative note. This community doesn’t need constant whining. Be more appreciative of your audience, without them, you wouldn’t even have a career as a comic book artist or a RUclipsr. Your viewers are the reason you have any platform at all, and constantly complaining is only going to drive them away. The world doesn’t revolve around you. It's time to grow up and show some gratitude.
I’m sorry that you’re so triggered by me drawing some guidelines here. I respond to every one who comments on my videos (a form of gratitude and community engagement, you see), and so I like to let people know that there are certain kinds of comments that aren’t productive for me or them. You don’t know the kinds of comments I received in previous videos; this is me setting some parameters for my own channel. I’m not doing it for you, so you don’t need to be so invested in it. You may have to eat whatever is served to you in your professional life, but I don’t have to in mine, and that’s something I’m grateful for.
Folks with your mindset think that it’s negative to stand up for oneself, and that creative people have to just smile and give thanks to people who don’t act right. I’m sorry you feel that way. It’s never been my practice to “shut up and dribble”, and it’s worked out very well for me. Don’t presume to tell me about my career, you know nothing about it or my field of work. Or maybe you just don’t like getting credit for the work you do at your job, idk. Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH for watching.
@@Ibrahim_M No one’s “triggered” by your guidelines. The issue is your constant dismissal of feedback, which demonstrates a sense of entitlement. You claim to appreciate your audience, but when you immediately shut down suggestions or criticism, it becomes clear that what you really want is blind praise. If you're not interested in what people have to say, then don’t pretend to be. Just don’t expect anyone to stick around when they realize you're only interested in stroking your own ego.
You also seem to take any form of feedback as a personal attack. It’s not “negative” to point out that you’re coming off as ungrateful and overly defensive. When you put content out in a public forum, feedback, positive or negative, is part of the deal. If you can’t handle it, maybe reconsider your platform. No one’s asking you to “shut up and dribble,” but if you think you’re above hearing from the people who helped build your career, then that says a lot about your character.
Your sarcasm with “THANK YOU SO MUCH for watching” adds another layer of your self-centered attitude. If you really cared about your audience, you’d be able to engage with feedback in a productive way instead of instantly shooting it down. Maybe take a moment to consider that the problem isn’t with the comments or the community, but with the way you choose to respond to them. At this rate, the only thing you’ll succeed in driving away is the very audience you claim to care about, idk. Anyways, HAVE A BEAUTIFUL REST OF YOUR DYING CAREER FAILED ARTIST IBRAHIM MOUSTAFA.😀

Hi, I would like to know if you can customize the Batmobile from the 1966 Batman series. It would be great, greetings.
I have the Mattel 1/12 version but it's pretty great as they made it, so I don't really feel like it needs any work, I'm afraid! IT's very nicely detailed. Thanks for asking!
Hello there, big fan of your channel and your insta posts showing your modifications to mcfarlane vehicle. I am in hopes you can help advise me or tell me how to do a modification on the mcfarlane tumbler front end to make it more accurate. I'm honestly surprised I haven't seen anyone do this yet. Or any posts about it. I was in hopes there was a 3d print I could buy and simply snap or glue on over the existing one. Let me know if this is something you are also planning on doing, trying or where I could go to find this print. I do not have a 3d printer myself so I would need to purchase it or a file to have printed or made. I wasn't sure the best way to contact you so I sent a message to all of your socials.
Thank you.
Hey Dave, thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it! I passed on the McFarlane Tumbler because I had the Modoking version on preorder (I have it here waiting to be assembled, lol). I saw one person (in CHina, I think?) over on IG who made some body modifications to it using styrene, and then they used a 3D printed front end. But it was one of those accounts who only posts pictures and never has any kind of details about what/how they did things, and doesn't seem to answer anyone's questions about it-- you know the type, lol. If I come across it again I'll send you the link. But I don't think they were selling a print or file (but I didn't ask).
I don't have any plans to do one, but if I did, I'd be using styrene. First I'd create a template out of thin cardboard (like what a cereal box is made of or thereabouts), figuring out measurements, etc. Then I'd cut the final pieces out of styrene sheets (here's a link to an assortment pack if you want an idea of which thicknesses they come in). I like Bob Smith Industries CA glue for this stuff: amzn.to/3zHtzBf
I don't have that Tumbler, obviously, but I think you could most likely just build something to glue right onto the existing piece. I hope that helps!
@@Ibrahim_M thank you so much for the info. I greatly appreciate it. I will give that a try.
