As for the canopy, I reached out to McFarlane customer service and directly asked if the canopy was a production error or is colored as intended. Their response (no big surprise) was "There are no production errors with this product in terms of color and functionality. " It will be interesting to see if there is actually a color variation in the Flash movie and this is actually movie accurate. I have heard rumors that there will be a Gold Label 89 Batmobile with Batman coming. Cool news, but kind of a gut punch for those of us that jumped on this one to then find out that another - possibly more correct - version is coming later at likely $80+. Also heard about a rumored 6 pack of movie batman figures that will include 89 Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, Bale, Pattinson, and 2023 Keaton.
It was same in the demo, so I am not surprised that it turned out the same in actual. The canopy is also incorrect but I guess that's ok, compared to the color mismatch issue.
I really hope another Batmobile is coming (running change or 89 version) with a properly colored cockpit, what an eyesore for an otherwise awesome piece.
I know it’s not that big of a deal but still you spent 80 bucks on it there shouldn’t be any mistakes period, I swear everyone of mcfarlane multiverse figures have some kind of issues, the figures fall apart so easily it’s like he knows this and just doesn’t care about the customer service just as long as he gets his money and that sucks
Definitely one of my favorite Batmobile designs. My absolute favorite Batmobile is the one used by Batman and Azrael that originally debuted in Detective Comics issue 601.
I missed all the pre-orders so I've been checking several websites for availability multiple times a day for the past week. I finally lucked out with GameStop on April 19 mid-morning (that was the day they advertised availability) and ordered two with free shipping. I checked back after getting the confirmation email and they were no longer available.
Great review and too bad Jay Garrick couldn't out run the Batmobile lol There is a spinmaster version coming out too for the 4 inch scale and the RC version. I passed on the McFarlane Batmobile for now - missed out on the preorders but I may buy the gold label when/if it comes out. The grey canopy is a bit of a turn off and the scale seems slightly small but minor complaints next to the beauty of the 1989 Batmobile.
I hope this doesn't turn into a year two Batman situation where everybody's pre-orders get cancelled multiple times, so far my Amazon order is just delayed!
Funny thing is, IF it was that much wider it would be massively out of scale with a 7 inch figure, IRL you need to snug your shoulders in to fit in the very tight cabin which action figures can't do
That canopy is crazy terrible, unless there is some story behind this and it's something in the film its a massive dropped ball BUT Honestly this batmobile has no much wrong and inaccurate that it looks to me like a toddlers toy. as for the Mezco rfigure looking too small? how so this is a huge car and meant to be a two seater, funny enough the problem with making this a 2 seater is that IRL the car is very tight to sit in and action figures having no ability to snug in the shoulders makes it very difficult, the car wouldn't actually be that much bigger at all to suit the scale of the 7inch figure if they had the ability to fit. but to release a car NOT in scale with a figure is lame
everything is ok, except for the hideous giant gray colored canopy is a huge let down. Might have to run a custom or something. The box art work is misleading, look nothing like the actual product.
@@scottmcclary594 yeah this is infuriating to wait a month just to find out your not getting it. I may cancel and try to get the 89 one with the figure instead.
Im thinking the canopy is that color for a reason......in the movie the batmobile has been unused and sitting a long long time the discoloration maybe from that, or maybe dirt/rust. Anyways thats my opinion.
@@AsokatheGeek thank you I will I still can’t believe it got cancelled never in the years I’ve had Amazon has an order been cancelled unlike Walmart man they cancel your order in a second ,will you get the 89 Batman with the Batmobile that’s been rumored or will you pass ?
To be honest, I had such high hopes for this but once I unboxed it, I immediately felt sorry I paid for it. The plastic is very much on the level of the Spinmaster toys if not worse in some areas. The grey canopy looks so bad with the rest of the car. I canceled the Mcfarlane Batwing. If this is any indication of how that one is going to be, count me out.
That grey canopy is absolutely unforgivable given how otherwise perfect this vehicle turned out. Just...wow,way to absolutely not stick the landing 😊
That gray canopy breaks it for me.
That canopy Is a deal breaker for me.
Cue the Limp Bizkit song "Rollin Rollin Rollin "😂

I really hope so too!
I'm more upset about the canopy windows being out of proportion to the actual car.

Yeah I really wish it had been the correct color
Bro your collection is insane!!
Great review! My heart dropped when the figures did. 😆
Lol right!
As did mine.

Batman went rogue! Its Tower of Babel 2.0! lol@knocked down figs.
Thanks for vid!
I love that batmobile 1989 movie series❤

wish it was 2 or 3 inch wider for a two seater- the Mezco keaton (for me) fits better than the intended figure - cool comparison with other vehicles
Funny thing is, IF it was that much wider it would be massively out of scale with a 7 inch figure, IRL you need to snug your shoulders in to fit in the very tight cabin which action figures can't do
I am definitely buying this, but the canopy will never not upset my anal retentive tendencies
Nice car. Remember there is a Ramen Racer coming too. Maybe you could check it.
I cringed at the handling of that mezco Batman 😂, may just be me but ouch I’d be afraid to tear any of the soft goods parts
hi Asoka, that is one sweet batmobile. great review.
Thank you 🙏
IS THIS 1989 BATMOBILE OUT YET IN STORES
It is!
I bought mine but FedEx lost it in transit and unable to purchase another since they sold out
Nooo that sucks!
@@AsokatheGeek I got the Batmobile delivered finally and got a refund since it took so long to get to me. I got it for free which is awesome

Great review. But a gray canopy huh? Someone needs to ask Todd about that issue.
Thanks! I think it was a factory issue, but it still sucks. Would have been perfect with a black canopy!
Lucky, I ordered from Amazon and they delayed my pre-order.
mine got delayed on Amazon also but I'm waiting for them to screw me and cancel my order, they've already cancelled my multiverse keaton statue!
@@scottmcclary594 yeah this is infuriating to wait a month just to find out your not getting it. I may cancel and try to get the 89 one with the figure instead.
LO QUIERO.🤩
Hey all. Has anyones mcfarlane store pre-orders shipped yet? Mine still says waiting fulfillment .
Mine is from the store! I’ve heard they are still shipping preorders. Did you bundle it?
@Asoka the Geek I didn't buy the whole wave, just bought 4 items all together. Jw cause I'm getting jealous of everyone getting theirs! Haha
Got mine today!
i got mine on the 17th.
It that 1:12? Thanks
DCPI please?
Message me on Instagram I’ll send it to you!

I'm wondering if the silly looking taller design is also something from the movie
What happened to the guy who was bashing you ? RUclips is a odd place anyhow mines got canceled so :(
I deleted the comment 😀. Really sorry your order got cancelled dude, keep an eye on Amazon I’m sure it will come back up!
@@AsokatheGeek thank you I will I still can’t believe it got cancelled never in the years I’ve had Amazon has an order been cancelled unlike Walmart man they cancel your order in a second ,will you get the 89 Batman with the Batmobile that’s been rumored or will you pass ?
I will probably get it, can’t get enough of this Batmobile 😀
@@ezlmonqzy9650 so far mines only been delayed from Amazon but I'm waiting for them to cancel it in me!
@@scottmcclary594 fingers crossed your order gets processed I was kinda confused on why my order wasn’t being shipped then I got hit with the email 😟
Sorry, but for $60, pass. Looks just like a cheap plastic toy you can get for like$25.

@@mraw5960 damn that sucks. Saved me some FOMO. Better to invest in a proper, high quality shelf piece.
it literally looks like an open box toddlers toy
