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!
