    I always thought one of the best Batmobiles was the Remote Control one by Richman Toys made in '89 for the first Keaton movie. When I bought it I ordered the light kit, but never ordered the case for it.

    So many to choose from for the worst......

      Corgi , Mego(despite its goofy toy scale, I still love it) and Mattel's Hot Wheels 1966 Batmobile.

          I'm embarrassed to admit how fond I am of this version, particularly since I'm completely aware of how gaudy and awful it really is.



          It just amuses me to no end that of all the Batmobiles they could choose, they went with Bisley's completely over the top, insane version from Batman vs Judge Dredd. However, if they were going to go this direction, I don't know why they pulled back instead of going ALL THE WAY with it as Bisley did with his painted illustration.

                      The Corgi one is and will always be the best toy one. I have two and love em!!

                      Next up would be the newer Corgi ones from the mid-00's. Too bad they couldnt reissue the 66 Batmobile, but they did everything else, including some cool villian vehicles.

                      The Marx ride on one with the spring loaded action was pretty neat, as was the Super Powers Batmobile, and the current toys based on the Brave and the Bold Batmobile (a future classic!!) are pretty good too.

                        The Mego Batmobile is my favorite, (even tho the scale make it look like a pedal car), it just feels Batmanish to me.
                        The newest movie version, (the army tank looking thing), is THE WORST Batmobile ever.IMHO

                          I love the Hot Wheels versions out now. The super Friends one and the '66 one are awesome

                              Right ! the new Movie one is so bad I forgot it even counted !!!

                              I had that one as a kid that had the single color Batman and robin in it. Batman was Red I thing and robin yellow. I liked it a lot cant remember who made it.
