That's the full size one that was built for the Hot Wheels display. I'm not sure where it was displayed though. ToyFair probably. Does anyone know who built it and if it's functional? I wouldn't be surprised if it's a rolling chassis.

RE: Another original car

Those pics aren't from ToyFair. They're in a shopping mall. But, yeah, I'd like more info too. It's more than likely only a rolling chassis.

I always loved that car. They recalled all of them though.

The fin tips were very sharp and had to be capped off.

RE: Another original car

WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!! The pulled all of the Batmobiles from the shelves and replaced the wings with soft rubber ones. If you had bought one they would send you a set of free replacement wings. If you hadn't bought one you could lie and they would still send you a set. I have a set of wings.

Read below for all the info. Free Wings for all my friends....

Side note: Our friend Dave tried to tell them they were too sharp and there would be problems. No one listens.

"WRONG WRONG WRONG"

I saw them being sold after the recall and they had what looked like little footballs stuck on the end.

RE: Another original car

Gee we must be a tough lot down here in Aus! I remember when I had the two toy stores, reading about how those Batmobiles were being recalled in the states. I wondered when Mattel in Aus would do it and guess what they never did! I find that really weird, as we have some of the toughest laws in the world when it comes to toys and kids products!

Cheers from down here!

RE: Another original car

Aussie kids have more to worry about than getting poked in the eye bt Batmobiles....like dingos snatching them.

The one I found at the Goodwill had to be a pre-panic version. I found it during the recall.

RE: Another original car

I found one at white elephant last year that was pre recall. I dont think White elephant really gave a crap about it.

I never got the replacement parts.

The one I saw looked like the illustration on the instructions.

Two wrong's don't make a right, but two Wrights make a plane.
