McFarlane TM15708 Batman Model Car, Multicolour

Product Information

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.

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.

That’s a common comment with most of the McFarlane figures I’ve seen, though, but the accessories that are included with Batman are pretty genius: two attachable “sound effects. This is awful packaging and it should be outlawed by the Hague Convention on the Just and Humane Treatment of Toys. I actually decided to skip the line entirely because of that, but Todd got smart and made them available again.It’s understandable, but there are lots of potential problems when you consider the open packaging and the possibility of them warping.

McFarlane have provided us with five action figures, a Batmobile, and a massive Batcave playset for review, so I won’t waste any more time beating around the bush about how much these things rule. There’s Retro 66 Batman, DC Multiverse, Warhammer 40k… I mean, holy crap I really went ham on these lines in 2024. The Batpoles are the only disappointment in the entire set, as they really don’t have any way to remain stable and aren’t strong enough to support any of the figures. The backside has the sculpted parachute pouches, which is a great touch, but that turbine is just itching for a flame effect part that wasn’t included. The ‘cave has had many different looks across just as many mediums, but it’s the bright flashing lights, complex construction, and endless labels that make the ’66 Batcave so memorable.The cape is fabric, and takes a bit of time to properly smooth out, and he’s lacking in many accessories. So, here’s where that retro moniker really works as an all-excuses pass, because the scaling here really is pretty close to the scaling between MEGO’s vintage Batmobile and the figures in the line.

Batman and Robin have many gadgets in their arsenal, but none more hi-tech and stylish than the Batmobile—ready to power on with the touch of a button. It (mercifully) comes fully assembled right out of the box, with no need to attach any pieces or apply any decals or stickers. Of the three figures available, Joker has the best likeness of his onscreen counterpart, as this is a pretty spot-on Cesar Romero look.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. The only other minor complaint I have is actually kind of a plus, too: the three exhaust pipes on the rear of the body and the two “fins” that surround the light at the top of the cockpit are made of soft plastic. Housing the Batcomputer and a host of gadgets, the Dynamic Duo solves crimes and is always alert for trouble in Gotham City.
