McFarlane TM15708 Batman Model Car, Multicolour

Product Information

The cape is fabric, and takes a bit of time to properly smooth out, and he’s lacking in many accessories. That does not mean that McFarlane’s is bad, but there are aspects of it that really push the whole retro toy concept and that’s found mainly in how small it scales to the figures. With the push of a Shakespeare bust button, Bruce and Dick are transported into the vast Batcave and transformed into Batman and Robin. Scarred by acid into outwardly becoming the monster he once hid away from the world, Two-Face has become a tragic figure and one of Batman’s most unpredictable and dangerous opponents. This means they won’t snap or break easily, which is great considering how thin and delicate they are, but that also makes them pretty easy to warp.

His accessories consist of sound effect attachments, and they’re the best of the lot: SOCK and OUCH. I am excited to see how this will look with McFarlane’s Batcave playset when I eventually get to opening it.There’s even ruffling below the neck, with the rest of the headpiece poking out… well, above the cape, but still.

And there's no need to worry about villainous takeovers, good citizen, the Anti-Theft Activator is all the Caped Crusader needs to protect his invaluable vehicle. Obviously the articulation is more limited, but I think the sculpts and coloring are either on par or in some cases better. I was really impressed with the different colors they used to render the Batphone, steering wheel, and some of the various levers in the main console of the car, which I kind of wish extended to other parts of the vehicle. It has that classic black finish with the striking red highlights, and has tons of details in the cockpit.It’s a bright and colorful presentation, just like the show, but it also kind of leans toward that deliciously cheap rack toy motif that I find irresistible and makes me want to keep them carded. For instance, the rear of the Batmobile has two molded “parachute” blocks, but they blend in with the black on the rest of the car. That may have been because the more acrobatic Boy Wonder lends himself to inspiration easier than the more stoic Caped Crusader, but I had some fun getting some good shots out of Robin.

On the other hand, that toy is going for quite a bit these days so this might be a decent cheaper alternative, especially if you just want a Batmobile to display on your shelf. When trouble strikes, BRUCE and DICK become the heroic BATMAN™ and ROBIN™, a secret known only to their dutiful butler, ALFRED PENNYWORTH™. With the next wave already announced, McFarlane Toys clearly know that this is a desired Batman property, so hopefully we’ll be getting plenty of toys based on the 1966 television series for years to come.

The second half of the Dynamic Duo has two separate figures available: a standard masked version, and an unmasked “chase” variant with a McFarlane Platinum Edition designation.You’ve got a file cabinet, memory banks, a computer, a work desk, radar machines, recording equipment, and more tools that should be part of every crimefighter’s arsenal.
