I drop quite a bit of coin at FTC last week. I already added my two cents to some of the Wonder Woman and Hanna-Barbera figures, so now it's on to my second FTC vehicle, the Blue Batmobile.
I am a stickler for packing and package quality and FTC did well on both. The box is nice and simple (and smaller than I remember from when I was a kid!) and the Batmobile is protectively packed, with the front and back covered with bubble wrap.
The car is a well done replication of the original (which I am too lazy to pull out right now). The wheels roll freely, which is a plus after my Batlab rear wheels scraping the body.
Everything FTC does seems to come out much shinier than Mego (like the Repro Mego figure hair), but the shiny blue works for the Batmobile.

It comes with a small sticker sheet that has two Batman door stickers and one tail light sticker. The tail light sticker is not a perfect fit (as you will see), but it's on well enough.

The inside looks good, although my steering wheel is crooked. Not a big deal though.

I am pleased with this and happy to have a blue Batmobile. I think I will try to track down some oval logo stickers for the door to make this more of a Super Friends / Super Powers type of Batmobile.
I wish we could get an Arrowcar, but I have a feeling these have not sold well enough to warrant it (even having the van parts haven't warranted a Mystery Machine).
