Bradford Exchange Fixed Their Batmobile!

[Keith Mayo]

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.

How are the sounds and lights?

[Ben Bentley]

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.

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!

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.

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....

I found the original thread to compare - that is a big improvement!

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.

[John Mack]

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.

sooo much better.
i had convinced my kids that it was winter in Gotham and the windows had frosted up.

I heard back, More than happy with answer.
