Customize your own Batmobile...

Tumbler Batmobile, Custom Motors, Hotwheels, Mattel, China, 2009

Does this car really need some extra body parts to make it more bad-ass ? I don't think so... but people at Mattel thought otherwise...

Smokin' red hot tires...

Rouge ? Anyone ?
For some strange reason, in 1972, there were a bunch of the Corgi Batmobiles getting out of the production lines with red Wizzwheels tires. Production mistake ? Or just another evil plot of the Joker, who got himself a job at Firestone (yes, look it up ! the original Batmobile had 15' Firestone Wide oval tires)  ? We'll never know. HAHAHAHA...

The POP phenomenon gets to Gotham...


Stores have opened here in Portugal with these things... At Comic Con, it was the latest rage... It's POP! My only regret : they could have made these with rolling wheels so you could actually play with the car...

The Tumbler...

Tumbler and Batman, Hotwheels, China 2010's

Nothing to do with the designs of Batmobiles of the past. This is a tank. A superduper SUV. And yes... it comes in black too. And forget CGI... it realy exists and drives.


The real deal...

Holly sandbox, Batman !

Batmobile, Duncan, USA, 1970's

OK, it did not have all the cool gimmicks of the Corgi Toys Batmobile... but at least it was sturdy enough to take to the beach and drive in the sand...

A Barris Kustoms SUV ? Not quite... But it did not rust. And it did not cost me 4.2 million USD like the real one.

El Batiauto del Don Carmelo

Batiauto, Juguetes Don Carmelo, Argentina, 1960's-70's

The caped crusader was very popular in South America - and lots o local toy companies tried to cash in on the phenomenon. Bichi was probably the best known - with battery op. versions of the Lincoln futura and Batboat.

But they definitely did not compete in size with Juguetes Don Carmelo, who issued this gigantic Batmobile. Different versions exist, some black, some blue, some with drivers, others without etc. Details like launcher tubes were also added on later models. 

The box is generic to the company - and very colourfull, with a large black and white label on the lid.

The box had fantstic artwork of cowboys and indians !

Lots of cranes in Buenos Aires' Gotham version...

Size comparaison with Corgi and HW toy
It says it all
