JADA METALS - Batman V Superman, Batmobile Model Kit Diecast

I must admit that I have not watched Batman Vs Superman and based on the reviews I am not in a hurry to do so. However I am a big fan of movie batmobiles and I always try to get my hands on it when a new Batman comes about.

I was not really impressed with the batmobile when the main toy line came out and I am not going to spend an insane amount of cash if Hot Toys decides to do it.
Thankful JADA Metals did a 1:24 die cast scale version of it and I managed to get my hands on it.
It is actually a model kit hence there is some assembling required but no glue or painting is required,
just a screwdriver, screws and some wrist muscle.

The packaging is pretty nice.
You can see most of the parts of the batmobile from the window.
It has a metallic feel to the design hence enhancing it as a die cast vehicle.

The parts of the batmobile which you will need to assemble.
It even comes with a screwdriver.
Not too difficult to assemble. Just some good old fashioned wrist action!

For this scale, I think it looks pretty good.
It was not that expensive hence thumb ups from me.
If I am not wrong there are 2 color versions for this. One is this which is more on the dark grey side and the other total black. I am not sure which is more movie accurate but based on what I can find on the internet, I am going for my version...maybe to feel better?

The details are also good.
Inside the vehicle, there was attempt on detailing and I applaud them for it.

Overall, a nice piece on the display and goes well with the other batmobile that I have.
Maybe JADA could look at doing the other batmobile in this scale!

I'm not done packing what I need!

It must really be a hassle for Batman when he prepares to go out for a mission given he has so many items in his bat armory!

I bet among all his super friends he takes the longest to get ready!

Hot Toys The Batman Armoury

What can I say.
The amount of details and accessories are insane.
It was also backbreaking to put up all the pieces but was super worth it.

Tell me...Do you bleed?

Hot Toys The Dark Knight Rises Selina Kyle Catwoman

Anne Hathaway as Catwoman was something I would never have thought of for a million years.
There are hits and misses in Hollywood casting. People were baffled when Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker but it worked out perfectly but there were also tragic casting like Ryan Reynolds as Green lantern or George Clooney as Batman.
Anne Hathaway I would consider as a hit casting.
In the Dark Knight movie, she was not your traditional Catwoman we were used to, in fact she was never referred to as Catwoman. She never had the cat-like characteristics and there were only a few faint visual hints of her cattiness like the goggles that create hint as cat ears and the fact that she was a "cat burglar".
Overall, Anne played the role well even though it was more of a secondary character.

The packaging is pretty nice.
The design is in line with the feel of the movie.
The packaging is literally like a shoe box.

I think the female face is very difficult to sculpt realistically.
Even Hot Toys which is on top of their game do have difficulty pulling a realistic female sculpt.
I am not saying the sculpt is bad, in fact it is above average but just not as realistic as compared to the male counterpart sculpts.
Hot Toys tend to use rooted hair for their female characters maybe to add more realism to the figure. However this round, the hair seem to be too "puff" up which looks like Catwoman is having one bad hair day!
Not to fear because when you put on the goggles on they will push the hair down making everything look nice and in place.

The outfit fits very nicely to the body and does not restrict articulation.
The attention to details on the suit is first class...(as always)

There is another function for the goggles.
They keep her hair in place.

Catwoman is seriously lacking in accessories.
You just get additional 5 hands, a pistol, the goggles and stand.
Given that she does not carry much in the movie, I seriously doubt Hot Toys will throw in the Batpod as an accessory, but maybe they could have thrown in the maid suit...hee hee.

Even though Catwoman was not the main character in the movie I still like Anne Hathaway's portrayal of the feline character.
Overall, I like the figure because I like Anne...haha.

The figure looks the best when she is all suited up with the goggles!
