Fanhome offers a new build up subscription for the legendary 1989 Batmobile, as seen in Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman film. The 1:8 scale model meticulously recreates the iconic vehicle with all the sleek styling and high-tech gadgets that make it Batman’s ultimate crime fighting tool.
The finished model clocks in at an incredible 29.5” long, consisting of diecast metal and ABS components. Just like in the film, it has retractable side wings and roof canopy, a functioning front turbine, a realistic dashboard, rotating wheels, and an opening trunk. There are retractable machine guns, a disc launcher, and a grapnel. A remote control triggers LED lighting and sound effects.
