1:43 Batmobile Figure Sets Available
These 1/43 Figure sets from TPM Customs have received a lot of inquiries as of late. We were holding out until we had the siren and antlers ready as well, but since they’re going to be a bit longer – we decided to offer the figures now. We’re ordering about 15 sets of these, so act fast if you want them.
These are similar to the ones we showed earlier: fully hand-painted, modified to look more like the TV versions of the crimefighters, full-size passenger and “buck” style driver. The driver’s arms are separate so you can drop into place more easily and position them as you like. (then just a drop of superglue will hold them in place).

Happy New Year! 1:43 Mattel Vs. Corgi
Well I got mine in today from China. Very nice, even with all the mistakes. Here are some comparison shots with the 1966 Corgi car.
This Just In: New 1/43 Pics – Guess What’s Still Missing?
HINT: Rhymes with “Cat Tray Snipes”.
Yep, hats off to Mattel again for skipping the extended Batray striping on another otherwise pretty nice model. Thanks to PMB! friend John Lemay for sending us these shots of his freshly-delivered-from-China 1/43 Batmobile. According to John, the bat-radar and antenna were shipped separately bagged from the car. Chances are that won’t be the case with the final packaged production model. Hey maybe check that baggie for the missing bat-ray stripes too! Ah well. Still a very nice looking 1/43 model. Looks just like a shrunk down 1:18 standard which is uh, good I guess. Though I am getting a bit sick of that juvenile-looking undercarriage. Now if we can just shrink Doug from Insane Detailing down, we can offer replacement parts for this scale too.
