Fixing Todd's Mistake! McFarlane Toys 89 Batmobile Modification 

You and me both!

It's a really nice kit and a good option to put it with 1/12ish scale figures but, I've seen a few '89 Batmobiles including an original screen used version, the car is much smaller than you think. The top front fenders only came up to my waist at 13 so it's very short, and it's narrow but quite long. McFarlane's '89 Batmobile is more accurate to 1/10 scale which is the size of his figures (The proportions of his figures are heroic too) but, too large for 1/12 or larger Marvel Legends & Classified scaled figures. In real life, the actors had to squeeze into the thing.

@cjflan32 I'm not sure if they're giving McF a pass, but they are less harsh, most likely due to the price of the vehicle. But for anyone who bought the 1st and 2nd versions, now the kits to upgrade the cockpit plus paint plus taxes, etc, are approaching $200 to get an exceptible Batmobile. McF should have just done it right to begin with and charged $125.

I hope so too!

Thanks! Will do!

It is! Isn’t it great!?!

Glad you liked it!

@@3POAPodcast always thinking of us LP - I appreciate your efforts man.

Then don’t use Mcfarlane scaled figs. Get one of the dozens of 6” figs out there. There are multiple keaton figs out there. The car is more of a 6” scale vehicle at the end of day. Just like how his 2seater ‘66 batmobile is more of a 5.5” scale even though its a 6” line.

I noticed too, even with the 6 inch figures, he didn't put two in the cockpit because the one was already overflowing into the seat next to him. Gave me flashbacks to Southwest Airlines flight 205 a week before Christmas. You might be able to get two ladies in there, but without a Batman, what's kind of the point? The space itself is too small for 6 inch figures, the seats are cute, but they're not functional in the strictest sense of making a Batman and Vicki worthy vehicle. Also, my dude could have edited out all of the "I'm not going to paint til the Ramen Toys kit comes out" and cut the run time of this video down to like 5 minutes. Dude, we get it, we all got it the first time. But look, if LP had not been that thorough, we might have purchased this set thinking it really would improve the usability of this Batmobile, so I can't complain too much. I can ignore him name dropping his friends like a drug dealer, what I wanted to see was if the kit actually improved the vehicle... which it didn't. Saved me some scratch!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for watching!

The car alone cost me $60.

@@3POAPodcast I was guessing on what the upgrades would cost

I would’ve done that but I don’t have one.

Thanks!

It may have sold out

It isn’t available for preorder yet.

Ok so what do you do just keep checking Ramen website?

Glad it was helpful!

@@3POAPodcast I've had mine open this week, prepping for paint, thinking about doing a 2 seater too. Now I know the neca is a little big I might leave that option.

Loctite

This video is old. The kit is gone and no longer in production.

It’s so small that I highly doubt it would be a problem. But I’ll go over that in part II.

Wish I could upload a picture of how mine looks like with the gear shifter in place with the SH figuarts the flash Batman with cloth wire cape.

The will go up for preorder at 1pm today.

@@3POAPodcast Alright! Thanks 😊

He should have it on his Etsy store soon. The link is in the description.

He retired the item.

That’s the plan

That will be in part II.

It’s almost as if I showed that in the video…

I sold it. That figure was 💩

I know and that’s the problem! It’s not even paint, that’s just the color of the plastic they used 🤦🏼‍♂️

@@3POAPodcast yikes

It would be tight. Probably 2 mafex/shfiguarts would fit.

Dilling HAM

His looks are all he has going for him. 😂

I don’t even know who you are.

@3POAPodcast very true, as I type this I also realize my youtube name isn't my actual name anymore. Sorry. I've posted all over Facebook with my customs. I have a group called kenner customs/ replacement upgrade parts

Agreed!

It might work for SHFiguarts type figures bruh but the size of the opening itself wouldn't work for Mezco or 7" figures bruh. ...bruh 🤣🤣 But if you think its a waste of money definitely do not buy it bruh. 🤟🏼

@@3POAPodcast 🤣😭💀

Bruh for sure more of a aesthetic piece. Wasn’t Vici Vale the only person to ride shotgun with Bats anyway lol I just want Batman on the left side of the car not the center 😂😅

No, he has discontinued production. I believe Ramen Toy is working on an improved version of this. They will probably announce something soon.
