    Its American inspired but not American made. Still a cool toy though. My samurai and Ninja toys are Japanese inspired but they are still designed in the USA.

    It is.

    It seems to be based on a monster truck.
    I got it for my 2 year old nephew. He had a rough day.
    It is bright, simple, and has huge wheels.

    Yes, from the latest movie (which I have yet to see). Total impulse buy, but I like it. I've always been a fan of the whole medieval ages thing in general ~

    I've been out and proud for so long that it feels very strange to want to be back in the closet again.

    Actually, I never was in the toy closet, so I'm wholly unclear on how to process this feeling. Shame, is it? So confused.


    EDIT: Forgot a word in my first sentence. Me a dumbdumb. PS... FUNKO!

    Doesn't look like anything shameful to me. Funko did an awesome job with that Batmobile and toy figure. The color variants they have been producing for that set are really cool to look at.

    I am far from being a Batman fan, but that is a Batman I could get behind. Well, if Robin doesn't mind, that is :shock: Couldn't seem to find anything on alternate colors, though (or couldn't withstand the deluge of Pops long enough to). What is it I should I be looking for?

    Really? That does sound crazy. I have memories of watching as a kid and when there was a fight I would be asking my mom every couple seconds to tell me what all the "POW!"s and "BOFO!!"s said, because I couldn't read yet :lol: I was a complete nuisance over something completely irrelevant, basically.

    So its not a whole lot yet but id rather they take the time needed to make each color shine in its own way.

    OK, I think they must've paired up the coolest Batmobile with the lamest Batman, 'cause that orange suit is not easy on the eyes. But, god bless 'em, somebody's gonna dig that. It might even work with a yellow cape and belt instead of the blue.

    I kinda hate the sculpts on those, but I'm all for the '57 source material:

    Written by Edmond Hamilton, and drawn by the undersung Sheldon Moldoff.

    The toys seem more based on that icky looking 2010 TV episode, but what do I know?

    Wow, that is pretty darn close. And only about half as ugly :o

    I've seen that Detective Comics cover a number of times and just kinda dismissed it 'cause I couldn't make any sense of it. Now I can learn the story. Hmm, wonder if I should get stoned first?

    An interview about and a review of the Radmobile. Plenty more coverage of their '66 line is there, too.

    Batman is sweet, Odi - just pretend that the better part of the past 30 years never happened and he's easier to love.
