    This Batmobile reminds me of my old Tin Litho Batmobile I had when I was a kid. Bump n Go action. I am not going to NYCC but I have a friend of mine that will try to get this for me. Not into variations...but this one is a must for me.

      ...but fun to see, nonetheless.
      Oh,I love that artwork. I finally got the basic black Funko Batmobile. I like that the car's fins seem a bit wider in the back. The poseable Batman &Robin are really wonderful! Batman's head comes off & on easily to remove his soft rubber cape,but doing the boil&pop to take Robin's head off was very hard so I could remove his yellow cape. I widdled open his chin/jaw hole &added some Vaseline in the neck sphere so I could make his head more easily removable and re-attachable, therefore making Robin's soft rubbery cape removable. I think Robin looks great against an original Pocket Super Heroes 'Batman (I always thought the original '78 Robin was too tall)

        The figures are cool, minus the lipstick (we won't go there) and Batman looks a little thick around the waist, Robin in the back row seems to be missing his R logo.

          Hahaha, lipstick! Yeah,definitely to be getting the acetone treatment soon. The figures are aligned against the prototype pics on the back of the Batmobile box. Even life-scaled Batman &Robin didn't get the lipstick treatment,& look better to my eye

            I wish Mattel was still making 66 figures. After Batgirl I suppose it would a moot point. But egghead and Otto Mr. Freeze would have been cool.

              I was under the impression that the new glut of retro action figures out there were the same size as my old SW friends. My first one in hand seemed a little on the small side, at least to how I remember them...

              Pictured here with an old Kenner, for scale:*









              The first Funko anything to land in my compound. Apologies for the scrappy cell snaps.

              Totally fine with the lipstick, by the way!


              *wink.

                Thanks for the pics. Looks cool. Pictured with a very nice Kenner Leg-Man figure. I have one of those too much

                    I completed the Mattel set and didn't break the bank too much. I doubt I'll get the reactions unless they are get real cheap.

                      I removed the lipstick on mine the second I got them. They look a ton better.
