Yep, it's got it's own case...nothing spectacular but it gets the job done.

For me, the Batmobile needs to have a flat bat head on the front and a bat wing pattern on the spoilers. Will there be such a model at some point?

I think so, D.A.,

from the promotional timeline supplement insert thing it appears they're going to make just about every version of Batmobile ever seen be they from the comic, television, carton or movies..even one from the 1930's Saturday morning movie serials.

Now this one looks 8)



It's from the animated series isn't it?

I wouldn't have thought there would have been 134 different cars in the Bond movies, the publishers must have been getting desperate for ideas towards the end. ;)
The Batmobile from the animated series looks great as well, one of my favourites!

I nearly gave up on a few occasions TKW, particularly when I was out of work, but the collector in me over-ruled and wanted to reach the end (mad I know, particularly as I do intend to sell some). With Bond, it started with something like 45 issues (I forget as that's 6 years ago!) and then kept creeping up. At one time they wrote to confirm the run would stop at a certain point, only to write agan saying that by popular demand the run would be extended (which it then was two or perhaps three more times!). Amongst the 134 issues there are some very nice classic Bond vehicles and they are generally nicely made, though I do wish they were easy to remove from the bases (they have an unusual triangular screw fitting).

It all depends how many subscribers Batman gets I guess. If they company feel they have enough support to get away with adding more and more, they surely will. I urge everyone to resist ;)

Did anyone else follow the auction for the genuine 1966 Batmobile which was held@ the weekend?

It realised a cool $4.2 million
