I hadn't seen much written here about the vans so I thought I would throw my 2 cents in. I have owned as an adult collector 3 Batlabs, a Jokermobile and a Dinah Mite Camper van. I only ever had the Batmobile new as a kid.
That being said, these are fairly accurate versions of the Batlab. I didn't buy the licensed Batlab since $120 just seemed ridiculously priced. But $100 for three 3 generic vans? All with the exact stylings of the Batlab? Ok ya got me.
Color choices of the body and roofs seems slightly arbitrary. Why cant I buy a Black van? Or Yellow?
I went with Green body and red roof fr Joker, Purple body and yellow roof for Batgirl (Sue me...My daughter and I like Babs) and ...maybe an odd choice...Blue body and black roof for the New Batlab. Superfriends style.
They arrived today. I have never before held an unbroken Mego type van haha. This plastic seems beefier somehow. The side door only opens an inch. If you are going to paint the body you are going to want to glue the door closed.
The oval on the front end looks like it might take some getting used to. At the same time you can get a version of the Bat front end or make one and mount to that.
The blue is not too bad. Between batcycle blue and Action Jackson van blue. Lighter than i might have asked for but still usable.
With the black roof it visually looks a bit darker. I havent customed anything in ten years and I am getting excited here.
