Hot Wheels Elite Batmobile In Da House!

Just received this morning from Brian at Replicarz. More details later. Pics for now. Check out the bent Bat-Radar. (Just like the resin models!) It’s NOT photo etched exactly, but it is detailed finer than the standard model. The phone has been shrunk down! Still big but MUCH better. More later tonight.
Sorry, but still not very impressed Mattel.

I wonder if Batman’s belt buckle was supposed to be black, and Robin’s silver?

Sorry, I didn’t finish my observation before hitting “Submit Comment”. I noticed on Mike’s that Robin’s seat belt is silver, but not on Eric’s sample model. Besides the damaged Bat-Radar, does anyone see anything else different?

Not a silver buckle, that’s just light reflecting off of it differently. There won’t be any differences in these two, as they are both dealer samples. Dealer samples are simply production models sent off first to dealers a bit ahead of the larger orders. The rest of the dealer’s stock ships out on 6/10. Replicarz is still taking orders, just email Brian. P.S. - no Eric on THIS site, LOL. That’s MY sample Elite. ;)

I just hope Mattel does a little more work on the Super Elites’ chassis. I’m not fussy about the underside usually as you don’t really see it. But, if it’s around $250-$300……………Oh well, wait and see.

Can’t wait to see how the car looks with the PMB parts attached. I can see offhand where the headlight grills, the belt buckles and the replacement front bat antenna will help.

what about the name plate?… can that be removed easily?? would save time on having one done for the 3 and or 6 Batmobile glass display
