The Animated Series

Holy Wow Batman! Another one of your cars. A 1997 model. That means its from Batman: The Animated Series. Its actually the second Batmobile used on that cartoon. Personally I like this one better, but only by a small margin. Compared to the other this one is a smaller sleeker faster looking coupe.
I could stare at this thing for hours. Should I say a few more hours.
As amazing as it looks. It would have been better if it wasn't all stickers.
Of course the canopy opens. Another cool feature is the hood flips open to reveal the engine that can shoot a "missile".
A radical ride needs relatives to roam the rural roads on some really sweet rubber radials.

Brave and the Bold Transforming Batmobile

Now for one of the Top Ten Cars in my collection. For a toy that came out only about 2 years ago I love it. From the first time I saw it it flew up to one of the top spots in my stockpile of Bat-sedans. The main reason is  this is officially a toy and not a collectors item. Even as such the amount of detail in it and its transforming action make it an extraordinary addition to anyone's toy box.
Look at it. Does it remind you of another popular Batmobile. From the back with red stripes to the bubble windshield.
Wow. Its just as impressive from this angle. This little sucker will take your breath away. With just a slide on the two handles on the bottom.
First its a car,then poof. Its a Bat-jet!Gotta like how the wings are two tone. Also how Mattle not only put little missiles on the rear but painted them so they would stand out.
If you were a bad guy and seen this hovering over you. You would give up before Batman put a beat down on your but.When in plane mode. The wheels fold down in a Back To The Futuristic kind of way.
No matter how you look at it. This shifter impresses. I really liked how when its flying about in your house from bedroom to bedroom it has three vertical Bat wing stabilizers to help prevent it crashing into your walls

Very cool toy indeed. It cost a mere 30 dollars. I would have paid double that amount for all this awesomeness! Just one more reason this sky car sits on the top shelf of my shrine to Batmobiles!

The Batman Exp Batmobile

Yes. Another car from The Batman cartoon. Yes. It has lights and sounds. Yes its black and blue, and yes its sleek and can shoot some kind of missile out of it. This one however doesn't transform in any way. For those unfamiliar with The Batman show. Its of a young Bruce Wayne. Just like any young man with money. He got himself a sweet ride.
  What a cool car! Just look at all that chrome. So shiny!
Mr.Wayne must have got all sorts of Gotham action in this thing.
If you were robbing a bank in Bruce's home town. You would not want to see this baby in your rear view mirror.
Tired of round and square afterburners? Then throw on a triangle one.
Remember. Safety first when your shooting your yellow disks while flashing your lights, and buckle your Bat-belt.
Look. It even has a little brother. I'll save that for another post.

Triple Mission Batmobile

This is the perfect follow up to the previous post. Why? you ask. Well, Because they're similar. Beside the fact they are both Batmobiles. They are both from "The Batman" tv cartoon, they both have the black/ blue colors, and are pretty rare. This one however came out a year later.
If you think when you first open up this baby that you can start playing with it. Think again. It looks like the car was blown into itty bitty Bat bits. So first you have to assemble the vehicle. How its done. Is up to the owner.
This is the simplest variation, or it would be if I left the transparent wings off the side of it.
This way it has a more wedge shape with the wider rear. There's nothing wrong with that.
Now that's a cool Bat-Buggy. Definitely the most original looking variant of the bunch.
Back to a normal looking car. At least normal looking for Batman.
As always I like to see my favorites from behind.
The Box it came in says it has three different combinations. You can actually make a couple more. Though most aren't very impressive. So in case you were interested what would happen if you connected all pieces. Here you go you crazy car character creator.
Not a very aerodynamic design,and in case your wondering. How are these things are holding on to each other. Well it isn't magic, its magnets!

TV Activated Batmobile

My first post ever! I though about what Batmobile I would use for my maiden entry. After thinking long and hard about which I would use. I went with one that I believe is pretty rare. It is from The Batman tv cartoon. I didn't even know this spectacular little mobile existed until early 2010. Online I could a few pictures of it so I posted these. This toy was made in 2004, but I never seen it in stores. Luckly I did manage to find a new in box one at a certain auction site. The box says TV activated lights and sounds with the use of the Batwave controller. What the instruction booklet informs you is that it works best with the older tube style TVs. Since I didn't want to go to my grandma's house to play with my toy. I never got to see the Batwave in action with my LCD TV. 

As you can see it follows the black with blue color scheme of the show.
 It looks very sleek like any cool Bat vehicle.

Ive never seen this one on the show, but it does have large cartoony afterburners.
For a toy I never knew existed. I was very impressed. The paint has a glittery look to it. I also liked the large inconspicuous bat on the front with a smaller red "The Batman" emblem in the middle.
It also came with a controller that can attach to the top of it. If you can go thru the options. You would find mini games, a story maker, and it controls the lights and sounds.
This is it in action mode. The canopy opens, wings slide out the side,the afterburners, and front "guns" light up.


 This is an awesome Batmobile. I would recommend this to any collector without hesitation.

Hello All

I've decided to take my hobby to the next level. Showing it to random strangers. I figured since I have so many  vehicles in my collection it would just be selfish of me not to share them. Well at least in blog form. I hope people like seeing my Batmobiles as much as me.
