I got the batmobile and it's great! Almost looks like diecast and it's actually better looking and nicer than Mattel's effort

I hope this line take off into to getting a Batcave and more vehicles (along with the figures)

Mine is suppose to be delivered today.

Mine arrived yesterday and I haven't opened it yet but it looks very good.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I hope mine arrives today. Fingers crossed.

I just opened mine and was disappointed to find that the capes on the figures are made of some vinyl like material that make it tough to put them in the Batmobile. I got Robin to sort of fit but he looks awkward. Gave up trying to get Batman in the Batmobile. The figures look like they have ball jointed heads that might easily pop off to remove the capes but I don't want to try that in case I''m wrong.

On the plus side the figures and Batmobile look good. The figures have extra articulation in the shoulders I didn't expect them have.

^Huh. In the Batcave Podcast I linked to, the Funko art director said they decided to go with that material because it helped the aesthetic of the figures, AND you could put them in the car. Bummer.

If there is a trick to getting them in the Batmobile and looking natural I'd love to know what it is.

Interesting. The capes aren't rubbery and flexible like Pocket Heroes?

I've seen pics of them shoved in the car, but it's a stiffer material and they don't look like they're sitting right.

Looks like cloth capes will need to be swapped onto them.

Exactly!

My set arrived today...I love them but there are two minor nits...well, one minor and one major. The minor nit is the lipstick look on both figures. I'll be removing it.

The major nit is with the Batmobile...it is waaay too short in the rear. For some reason they trimmed down the back fins by a good inch and a half, and it throws the look off big time, at least for me.

The minute I removed it from the box I could tell something was really off. I'll try to post some comparison shots.

The Suicide Squad figures have the same joint, heads pop off and back on easily. Deadshot has 2 heads.


CCC.

Thanks LordMudd.

^ Yes, you should be able remove Batman and Robin's heads without harming the figures.
