    Another Funko Batmobile variant





    There's part of me that really loves this color-blind version of Batman. The silver Batmobile is actually pretty striking.

    I'm assuming this is based on some tin toy like the last one?

      ^Yes. Here's hoping they do a blue one.

          I must admit I am at a total loss as to why making a toy in deliberately wrong colors is awesome.

          To me, that is a $50 mistake...nothing more.
          I would no more want a silver Batmobile and...whatever that Batman is than a pink Darth Vader.

          Don't get me wrong...I'm happy for those that like it, I just don't understand the appeal.

            Because whacky things reminds of a day when there wasn't style guides controlling everything.



            Vintage stuff like this is awesome (and probably pretty expensive) so anything that celebrates this sort of thing is a win for me.

            I won't buy one either but I'm glad something like this exists.

              ^Exactly. I don't want all the "rainbow" Batmen that every collectible line seems to have, but they are based on the comics, and these are based on Japanese variations. Like Dan Greenfield said, I'd like to see a red-costumed Italian Batman, much like the different color Phantoms Castaway gave us a few years ago.

                The Phantoms are actually pretty cool. His costume was different colors in different countries.

                Do you know if the Japanese variants were colored like that because they were bootlegs? Just curious.

                  Funny, because this...

                  ...Is the first FUNKO anything that's appealed to me, ha!


                  Well, that's not entirely true, as I had a little itch to grab S7's Alien stuff that the POP purveyors briefly piggybacked on.

                    Great review:

                    Thanks for posting, Earth 2 Chris!

                    PS:
                    The Lincoln Futura concept car (This was the inspiration for the Batmobile)




                    IMO, variants are fun: They just are; for their own sake of being fun.

                      Ummmm...Is it wrong for me to want a silver Funko Batmobile in which to put a Kenner Shadow figure?

                      Because I sure drooled over those catalogue pix as a kid.

                            I want them all. I just don't want to spend the money.

                              Maybe FTC will now issue their Batmobile in Silver?
