I know what you mean

Oddly the 1/50th scale batmobile doesn't come with it, but Hallmark came out with the 66 batmobile ornament that Christmas and in 1/50th scale so it worked out...

@@thegarydavidson Mattel has a large line of various 1/50th scale Batmobiles and Boat,copter,cycles and other stuff just to let you know 👍

@@stevenewman1393 I have those. Don't want to crack the packaging open tho.

1/50th. Same as the set. Turns out the Hallmark Christmas Tree ornament was the same size as the Hot Wheels car.

Waste of money!

1/50 scale

It didn't come with a Batmobile and I tried a bunch of them out with that one fitting best on the disk.

I doubt anyone could lift a 1/24th scale up. The box was heavy enough at 1/50th and the statue almost too large for any of my displays.

Batmobile's are a dime a dozen. The cave however isn't a toy. It's a solid and heavy, lighted statue, literally a piece of art. To each their own, but I've spent hours just enjoying the ambiance of this thing. It's gorgeous!

yes you are right it a work of art . but it should have came with a bat mobile for the price. and no its not a toy.

Nope. There's a door back there (presumably Alfred's elevator) but it doesn't open. The "other" side is the walls of the cliff. Maybe, one day, they'll create a model of Wayne Manor and the batpoles can line up.

@@thegarydavidson on the left side of the reactor there was a mine shaft thet was later used by king tut to penetrate the batcave but on the right side if the reactor there was another mine shaft tunnel at least with the live action set.

@@3dartistguy - cool, the booklet with the numbered certificate talks about how often minor tweaks were done to the set and how they had a hard time nailing down the definitive version. Even the consoles around the Batcave changed from episode to episode as they were rentals from the props pool and had been used on sub movies and the likes for years.

@@thegarydavidson actually they showed up a lot on Irwin Allen productions like Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Lost in Space, Time Tunnel, and even Land of the Giants i guess becuase they were all produced at 20th Century Fox at the time. but again, you dont see a secondary mine shaft tunnel on the right side of the reactor?

@@thegarydavidson could you do a other video focusing on those areas behind the reactor core that mentioned?

Can't have everything. Where would you put it?

not sure what to use, but could be done if I can find the right "hose"

i have no idea. Are there any Bat-Scholars reading this who could answer that?

It's a massive statue with lots of detail and weighs a lot. I doubt even something a third this size would be that cheap.

The booklet that comes with this is amazing at explaining all that. With the saddest news being that if they hadn't struck the set immediately after wrapping the final episode we would've got another season because less than a week later another network expressed interest in the show - but the cost of rebuilding the cave killed that deal.

Not plastic. It's a bona fide statue, casted and heavy as heck with electronics etc but to each their own.
