Hot Wheels 1:18 ELITE Batmobile Differences?
These are just pre-release pics so we don’t know for sure which details will be changed. But just observable from these Mattel pics, here are some differences (click on pics to enlarge):
- No black paint on canopies
- More detailed (still plastic) bat-radar
- Opening hood and trunk
- See-through front grille (with barris embellishments)
- See-through back grille (maybe?)
- Grilles over headlights
- Black louvres under-rear canopy area
- Bat-turn placards
- Full fire extinguisher (?)
- White borders on wheel bat-hubs (still wrong shape)
- Parachute pack placards
- License plate detail
- Red seat piping
- Turbine engine detailing
- Phone cable
- Compass detailing
- Steering wheel hub detailing
- Dashboard opened section
- Chrome detailing multiple places
- Door ball handles
- Trunk bat computer
- Amber antler lights (possibly light-up)
- Silver seatbacks
- Seatbelts w/bat buckles






Are you going to do a parts set to fix the missing things (like the metal plates for the foot runners), and if so, is this post enough to get me signed up for the store?
I have my Elite version on pre-order, and might as well make it look real nice after spending $80 on it.
