BATMAN 2016 Hot Wheels Collection

 

This year Hot Wheels include in its year collection, 250 cars, a group of 5 batmobiles in desing, but for its variants they will be 8 cars. This collection come in a great moment because the super hero hysteria, and maybe a comic revival with the help of the movies that had come this year. This group of cars have a difference between others because they have a black stripe or line in the front down right part of it with Batman write on it (If you are looking for this in a supermarket or a toy store I notice that is easy if you look at the cars down to up and seek for the black stripe). Now let's talk about each car.

 

1. TV Series Batmobile

This one is marked as the 226 from the 250 car collection. You may think "Another Batman classic series car", but I find a couple of differences in many things, the first thing is that the card logo is little, other is the color, its matte black with flames detailed in a brighter black that gives the car a very neat finished. Another thing is that near the back bumper they put a red hot wheels logo and 4 arrow tip lines in the top of the trunk. This car come in two colors grey and black, so this is a two 1/5 car.

 

2. The Bat

The second in this group of five is one of the most known Chistopher Nolan's Batman movies car, that if you think it wright its a plane not a car, it doesn't come with wheels. Come in two variants one with blue tinted glasses and other with yellow tinted glasses. Its a shiny black car with little grey sparkling that make it brighter when see it with direct light. Come with two, one on each side, turbines in matte plastic. 

 

3. The Dark Night Batmobile

This is a very detailed car because all of its curves and parts of the car, the wheels come in a normal size in the front and like 30% bigger in the back wheels, plus that the ones in the back have deeper lines, like if they were for off road trips. Back grey shiny turbine and red tinted glasses. The card comes with "The Dark Knight Trilogy mini Logo, and a Showdown logo near the hanging part.

Comes in a variant with blue tinted glasses, I saw it yesterday for first time, and think that it looks awesome.

 

4. Batman: Arkham Knight Batmobile

This car is very similar to the other editions, Its a car with a shiny greyish color, with a not great detail in the trunk door(If you played the game this is where Batman put Poison Eve), comes with a side intake in both sides, with off road wheels and blue-grey rims, the glass tinted is hard to identify and is between platinum dark and black. As you may see this car comes with the game logo in the top of the car, they come in showdown and not showdown edition, but it's not an important detail to get another car.

 

5. Batmobile

First thing to say is that they doesn't name it like "Batman vs Superman Batmobile", its a matte black car with almost not glasses. It comes with no stamps or marks in the wheels, black medium shine rims very similar to Oz Spider. In the front of the car you could see the two machine guns barrels and wheels bumpers in both sides (Someone told me that this bumpers are very inconvenient to a kid crash playing time because they can difficult the front wheels movement). It comes with a little stair like in both sides to esase the get in the car.

 

As final note you can find the marking of the logo in the back of the card with the number of the car in the batman collection, some of them comes with notes, pages to visit and other information.

As they write "Help BATMAN fight crime and protect GOTHAM CITY in this BATMOBILE inspired vehicles".
