Great collector's item. Although it contains certain plasitc parts that may break easily, it's diecast body provides a good solid feel. Makes for a great show piece behind a cover (not included, though it comes with a display stand/plate).
DisappointingSeptember 25, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This thing is just too small. It's only about 8.5 to 9 inches long. It looks puny. And a previous reviewer (D.Mayes) is right: the front wheels are too big, and the right front wheel doesn't spin well.
Also, there's no plastic where the side windows should be; they're just left missing (just holes there) so they could run their tape through the vehicle for some reason--and it's not to keep the vehicle in place either. The entire vehicle is held to the ugly brown plastic display stand via four screws.
And the packaging doesn't really show off the vehicle too well, so you have to take it out of its packaging to display it (unlike the 1989 batmobile from Hotwheels that came in a clear plastic cylinder--btw, that batmobile is actually bigger than this tumbler). And when you do take it out, the ugly brown display stand becomes visible.
The canopy is supposed to be "retractable" but I couldn't get it open easily and didn't want to risk breaking it so I just left it alone.
Overall, an okay model with some flaws. The biggest being: it just doesn't look beefy enough. If I had known how small thing is, I might have just bought one of the toy versions instead of this display version.

I need my "Dark Knight" Fix...September 18, 2008 17 out of 17 found this review helpful
Ok, while I'm prepping for a horror run next month and I've been anxiously awaiting the announcement of "The Dark Knight" Dvd or Blu-ray--December 9, 2008 is the day we get to pick up the best super-hero film (in my opinion) on either Blu-ray or Dvd! I'll be taking the morning off!
Anyway, this replica of the "Thumbler" or the Batmobile featured on both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight is made by Hot Wheels. Nice craftsmanship, very detailed and made in die-cast.
The only complaint I may have is that it had some bright gold-colored parts that didn't look like the actual "Batmobile" in the film and it also has somewhat of a glossy finish...not in the film. It's also a little smaller than I would have wanted it to be.
Anyway, still a great collectible for the die-hard Batman fan! Enjoy!
RECOMMENDED!!
