Prior to this, the last Batmobile's posted here on the blog were several Jada 1/43 scale issues I bought during the lockdown when they were available at Target stores and those got posted in July 2023. Fast forward to a couple of months ago when these were mentioned by Paul A. on the Moonbase Central blog. Paul, who lives in New Zealand, sent in photos of his latest acquisition and I'm thinking, "When the heck did Mattel make this?" 😃 Paul explained how they made two versions of this car last year, an expensive one with figures for Comic Con and this lower priced version sans figures. After looking up the prices for the Comic Con version (ca$100 - $120) I decided this was just fine at around $15 or so. I like '30s and '40s style cars anyway as well as those originally drawn for Batman back in the day - before he got all fancy and hi-tech - so this was a natural. A car like this would fit in perfectly with the next Batman post coming tomorrow! (ohhh the suspense 😄). Enjoy! Opa Fritz
