Bradford Exchange Fixed Their Batmobile!
Not only did they make a much better Batmobile than before, they're also using actual photos in the ads.

Wow that's night and day from the original ones. I'm shocked they retooled the product.

Re: Bradford Exchange Fixed Their Batmobile!
Agreed, this is a world away from the first round of these! Kudos to them for going back and spending the money to re-tool the moulds etc.
Re: Bradford Exchange Fixed Their Batmobile!
Will this make the original "rough" release more collectible in the future? It's incredibly rare for a company to retool its molds on any product-- the feedback must have been overwhelming. The question now is do I need another Batmobile?? Do any of us? Trick question-- of course we do!

Re: Bradford Exchange Fixed Their Batmobile!
The question should be- do they let people who bought the first release exchange for the new retool?
I don't buy BFE, but if I did I would absolutely be furious if I was stuck with that first release...

I cannot take all the credit, but I did bomb BE with emails and phone calls concerning that POC they tried to sell us.AndyFish wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 11:13 am Will this make the original "rough" release more collectible in the future?

Waiting to hear back as I asked that.
Don't plan on it though.

I didn’t even open mine when I first received it.
I find this strangely tempting....

Re: Bradford Exchange Fixed Their Batmobile!
I found the original thread to compare - that is a big improvement!

Re: Bradford Exchange Fixed Their Batmobile!
Forgot how totally sloppy mine is until I revisited that old thread, I don't see my stuff that often.
Looks like they have the frosted windows cleared up , figures and detail items brush painted and not dipped.

I never pulled the trigger on that. I have to be extremely careful funds being what they are for us right now, but this looks like may need to reconsider.
