Where Was This Beauty in 1966?4
Hot Wheels has done it again. This little 4 inch beauty captures the contours and details of the original Batmobile, not perfectly - but better than any other toy company has before.

There are a few inaccuracies. For example; the 'antennas' beside the central beacon flare out like wings rather than standing straight up and down as they should, and the 'rocket tubes' just ahead of the trunk on the car are severely shortened ( although I believe this was done for child safety reasons ). Also the bat emblems on the doors are out of scale, and the gold cross shaped 'laser/radar antenna' on the hood is a little big. But considering all the details they got right ( down to the tiny "Batphone" in the cockpit ), and the fact that the overall shape is spot on, I can live with the minor flaws.

This toy, along with the 1:50 scale Batcycle, and the fantastic 1:18 scale Batmobile - all from Hot Wheels - are a '60's Batman fan's dream come true.
