| tammytots's Full Review: Mattel Batman Batmobile |
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 that is needed is the car wings, lift seats, and exhaust barrel which need to be snapped into place. Not difficult at all to piece together.
What it does:
The car measures approximately 2ft long and 12-15" across when set up.
The car itself has four working wheels, the seats lift to get into and two figures (Batman & Robin) can be seat belted into the seats- little plastic seat belts are included to keep your action heroes safe in crashes!! The seat belts must be used or the action heroes seem to slip out of the seats and slide down! But hey remember seat belts are the law- right!
It has a projectile weapon on the front of the car that can be inserted and with a small button on the car hood it can be pressed and ejected.
Robin's seat area detaches from the car to become his motorcycle. It too has its own 2 wheels- therefore the car can still be used when it is detached. Which my son found to be cool- Also the Horizontal wing on the back comes off the side wings to become flying wings for a figure- this is also one of my sons favorites about this toy- the wings have a wrap around waist holster for the action hero to put on- so they can fly!
Warnings:
On the box it does state some action figures will not fit into this car- we have not come across this problem -all of our figures do fit. We have several of the new Batman figures and a couple hand me down Batman and Robin figures from a few years back from my nephew and they all worked fine! Except when not seat belted. (see above)
Overall:
This is a fun toy that sparks all the wonders of a batman hero to a 4 year old boy- it is not electronic. And I like that it is quite convertible to different toys within one toy! It is made of hard plastic, no flimsy parts- however I have found that a seat shield or wing may pop off the car if it is pulled on to hard.. which it is not a big deal to pop back on- but they do not seam to be easily broken- just likes to pop off with hard tugs from a 4 year old boy! :)
I would recomend this toy for a batman enthusiast, or any child who enjoys the batman figures to play and pretend with!
