Mattel Batman Batmobile

Pros: One toy-that becomes several. Cool batman look! Great addition to batman figures.
Cons: Some items may pop off car but not easily broken!

Since Batman has become my 4 year old sons favorite super hero- we decided to get him some figures and this car for a Christmas present- from Santa! Putting it together: The car itself with tires comes in a large piece in the box-the only set up ...

Pros: Huge! Fun to play with. A nice display! 1st Mattel design
Cons: Wings were not safe on original version. Expensive at $40 (New version is cheaper)

Having gained the right's to Batman, Mattel apparently wanted to start out big, with it's first Batmobile. Big it is. This monumental Batmobile is the largest Batmobile in the toy scale. It measures a whopping 20 inches in length, and, 10 inches ...

Pros: NONE!
Cons: Poor construction, durability, appeal . . . everything.

This toy is SUCH a waste of money. It is very poorly constructed; the pieces will NOT stay together, which is very frustrating for a little boy (and his parents)! The batman figures that are pictured on the box do not fit in the vehicle properly, and the whole thing falls apart as soon as my son starts playing with it. Needless to say, he lost interest on the same day he received it. Mattel could take a lesson from vehicles such as the Fisher Price Rescue Heroes fire truck, police car, jet, and URV - all of which are extremely durable and exciting to use. We are all very disappointed with this toy (and all the other batman figures that my son received, which are also made by Mattel).
