Wanted to post a pic of the new 66 Batmobile from Funko.
I'm glad they made it but it has some serious drawbacks...they went very light on the paint apps and details. No radar sensor, antenna, or dashboard details of any kind, and the proportions are way off.
The most glaring issue is the length. They really shortened the entire car, and it's very noticeable in hand, at least to me. It looks better from certain angles, but since the figures are 1:18 scale, I may be replacing this Batmobile with the super accurate 1:18 Hot Wheels die-cast version. It has opening doors, hood, trunk, and all the bells and whistles.
Here are some comparisons next to the Hot Wheels version...as you can see, the rear fins are much too short. It just doesn't look right at all.
