Ahhhh. Thanks for clarifying. I missed the Mattel, lol.

The figures sold out online within a few minutes of being posted. I will wait for them in stores so as I can actually see them up close. I ordered the Batcave but will not be getting the Batmobile. It honestly looks flimsy, the worst version I have ever seen on a '66 Batmobile made for an action figure line.

The Target app had been saying “coming 7/25” which explains why folks were hoping they’d show up today. But a quick check of the app this morning and I couldn’t find the McFarlane stuff at all.

Starting to show up elsewhere at inflated prices which follows a pretty standard pattern. If you’re going to pay scalper prices I’d strongly suggest being patient. Remember at one point eBay was selling the hot wheels batmobile for $100+- shortly after I was finding them in case lots for 99c a unit. I doubt these will be scarce.

Received my McFarlane Batmobile yesterday, here it is against the Mattel. Mattel is much larger and a good bit more detailed. Mattel figs fit into both well.

Yeah, it looks even uglier when compared with the Mattel Batmobile. Will definitely be passing on this.

Great pics- I like that it's toy-like and takes up so much less space-- the Mattel is a shelf eater!

The new one looks like it has more "playability " reminds of the Megos and the Mego Batmobile.
I will decide when I see it in person.
(Spoiler- probably)

The Mattel version is much more appealing, with its scale in relation to the figures being closer to real world accuracy.

svl - thanks for posting that comparison, it's what I thought. The proportions of the McF were off, the rear is longer than people realize. However we do have the Mattel version, so no problem.

On another note, we received a package from Target yesterday. I got all excited, but it was something my wife ordered - Curses, foiled again. :o
Oh well another week and a half. I'll probably get it at the store before I get it in the mail.

I know Ben is not letting go of his Mattel version
