That's why this community rocks. Hey Scooter, if you can do an exact color match, you may want to give some though to producing small sheets (maybe 1x1 inch of the painted/sealed colored decal paper) and adding it to you lineup of your excellent BatMobile products... customers can use it not only to edge the BatRays, but touch up dings in the striping too! Oh, BTW, can you tell me which of the sets of figures on the homepage pic is mine? Just kidding.... they look AWESOME! Can't wait 'til you ship them out and they're gracing my BatMobile! Mike

Great idea, FanofBats!! I see a simple solution for HotWheels oversight developing here on the message board!!

Maybe a couple somethings cool. I'm thinking about treating Tiki Con like our own private San Diego Comic Con and have a crapload of prototypes to unveil... Great, Now I guess I have to go to Tiki Con - just to see what the Batmobile should have been if it were screen accurate. I agree with the extra elites - that's a great starting point, if you can find them. I am starting with a base model myself, so I don't feel as bad if I screw it up.

Replacing the rear plastic antena with a metal one is a nice start but not what I had in mind. I keep hearing about cost and profit. Just fixing the toy like pinstriping, and striping around the fog lights would make a HUGE difference. How about removing the stupid looking plastic buttons on the front grills? Would any of this involve a costly amount of retooling?

Of course there's always the chance that the pic of the box is from further away, and therefore looks smaller compared w/the pic of the car on its base. Maybe it's a bigger, taller box than the other two 1/18th versions.

And as soon as I do - you know who'll be the first ones to know about it. This time I actually will take the day off from work to do the video. LOL

The elite box looks like if you could open the hood and trunk, they'd come a bit closer to the top of the window. Again it could jst be the angle.

I'm trying to think of ANY HW changes or features that are '66 based versus today's version? Which ones are you thinking of?

Well after Alexanders response I think I have a better understanding but to answer your question Scot starting with the standard prototype the arch original went over top of the rear canopy as the Batmobile is today, now it goes under all three versions. OK maybe thats not the best example. What about the Batcomputer in the trunk, the rip cords and pull rings for the Batchutes, or the Batram lever and other recently added dash board goodies with the exception of the blinker lights. I could be wrong but I don't believe any of these features are on the car today. Then there's the features that have nothing to do with the original Batmobile from any decade. The series inspired jet engine, the toy like pinstriping that is on all three versions while missing the striping around the fog lights yet the prototype was perfectly striped to pretty much match the original Batmobile from then or now, and then there is that ridiculous looking rear canopy and again while the arch on the prototype originally went over top of the rear canopy that canopies look nicely matched the Batmobile from 66 and today.

He has been the one and only owner of the car since purchasing it from Ford shortly after the film "It started with a Kiss". Barris wisely retained ownership of the car and merely leased it to the studio for it's use.
