    The blue is dark, but it has a bit of a shimmer mixed in to the plastic, so it's not quite as dark as the regular Batmobile. I considered repainting this one as well, but never got around to it and eventually got the big ass DC Collectibles one.

    I actually prefer it. The Batmobile wasn't really black in the show, it always had a blue shine to it.

    No, it isn't. It's Justice League Batman. You can tell by the long ears and plastic cape. The figure that comes with it is smaller, less articulated, and based on the New Batman Adventures Batman with a fabric cape.

    I mean, you can see the figure on the box image I posted and see they're not the same.

    Nope. Thats a recolor of the Combat Belt Batman. Note the curvy arms, the round cowl and the distant between legs. Justice League Batman had more straight arms, legs are not so distant.

    Combat belt Batman and his recolours didn't have elbows or plastic capes or long ears. The chest sculpt is also different as is the belt. (Also the legs are obscured in that picture so you can't see the distance between them) Regardless of what particular Batman that is, it's not the one that comes with the car. The one in the package is clearly a warmer grey without the elbow joints. The Batmobile is well-documented in its ability to comfortably seat Batman.

    Like, dude, look at the picture I posted. And the guy who posted the picture of the Batmobile out of box plainly said that's not the right Batman.

    EDIT: Here's the exact figure in Lemonprime's pic:

    And here's Combat Belt Batman

    Would you post again the pic you are talking about? Because Im under the impresion that we are refering to diferent things LOL. If Im worng is ok, no problem, but judging from the picture of the boxed Batmobile from the last page, the figure included, that is inside the box, to me, looks more like a recolor Combat Belt Batman, than any of the JLU Batmen.

    I'm not sure if it's a straight recolour, but the figure in the box is very similar to combat belt Batman. (just with the season 4/JLU Bat symbol)

    The figure in Lemonprime's photo of the Batmobile out of box has the Justice League Unlimited Batman in it.

    The figure in this photo is not the same one that comes with the Batmobile.

    Totally, the JL "Popeye" arm Batman woudnt fit. And yeah, the picture out of the box, I didnt see that one, and its probably what you were meaning, you are totally right.

    I will check my Combat Belt Batman today (still have it) but I think it is a straight recolour. I can even identify the neck clip cape he comes with.

    You do know a lot about this line:)

    :lol  So when I kept referring to LemonPrime's photo what'd you think I was talking about?

    Of course, sadly, turns out this whole discussion may have been moot. I found out the shipping on this Batmobile I found would be almost $50 Canadian. That's nearly as much as what I'd be paying for the actual toy. It's a shame because I was really excited for it but I can't in good conscience pay that much just for shipping. EDIT: Actually I was just looking at the wrong shipping option. I went ahead and ordered it. Thanks again, @LemonPrime!

    This Batman Knight missions Missile Launcher Batmobile isn't too bad for being 12" long (that's what she said). My figure does fit, but he lays down...meh I got what I paid for. BKM Batmobile 010.JPG

    Does anyone know if the Hot Wheels 1:18 Batman Tumbler fit 3.75-4" figures inside?

    I don't know about the Hot Wheels model, with experience to other 1:18 scale models, 4" figures don't fit usually due to the dashboard, steering wheel and legroom; most of the action figure vehicles are more like 1:20 scale to fit them.

    I used to own this Tumbler from Mattel. It seats the 4" Batman figures and was re-released several times over the years later on it included the Batman figure. There is a camo version with Bane as well.

    Thanks, I was aware of that. I also noticed that the slightly bigger tumbler with the 5 inch figures may also be appropriate. Not sure if it is a tab bit bigger for 1:18.

    I know of the Movie Masters Batpod but I think there's another company that did one.
