This is like 2 toys in 1: the Batmobile and the Batcycle from the movie. Both are very realistic and true to the actual Batmobile and Batcycle from the movie. When the launcher is activated, the motorcycle shoots out - going very fast and far. This is worth the money, and easy to operate. Highly recommend. Batman is molded onto the motorcycle, so he won't come off. Not a problem with me, because any action figure would fly off when the launcher was activated.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too complicated for younger kids, October 18, 2008

This review is from: Batman The Dark Knight - Batmobile & Batpod [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] (Toy)

My son is 5 and struggles to get this toy reloaded after shooting the batcycle out of the batmobile. The first step is to load the batcycle in backwards until you feel a spring resistance and then hear a click, it can take a few tries. Then you need to perfectly align both side with the rocket launchers attached by pressing them under the car, while at the same time pressing the top part down to latch the car back into position. This is just too complicated for young kids. My son can get it on occasion, but most times asks my husband because even I struggle to do it. We've had it for about a month and the car sits, he just plays with batman on the motorcycle. The age range on this toy should be higher.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mattel does it again!!, August 9, 2008

This review is from: Batman The Dark Knight - Batmobile & Batpod [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] (Toy)

Don't let the my title fool you. This batmobile is by far very disappointing. I got it for my birthday just for show and curiosity. First of all, the bottom of the vehicle rubs against the ground with a separate pair of "mini" wheels on the bottom front. This makes the front wheels not turn on hard ground. On carpet however, they do turn. It comes with two buttons labeled as 1 and 2. The first one opens the top and sides revealing missiles and the bat pod. It's supposed to simulate "battle damage". It's really cool at first but can get annoying after awhile. I wish they would have done it like the movie, having the bat pod separate from the tumbler with the front wheels as the wheels for the pod. That would have been awesome but again, Mattel had a good opportunity and passed it up. The second button launches the bat pod, literally. Also cool but annoying after awhile. Mattel did however make the tumbler look realistic, but that's about it that's cool. Also, you can put a regular 5 and a half inch batman figure in the tumbler but only if the bat pod is deployed. Even then, the figure can move about aimlessly. On to the bat pod. Mattel did this right, for once. It looks very much like the one from the movie. The only drawback, however, is that the batman figure cannot come off. He is just stuck there. If you want one that can, get the bat pod by itself, which is what I might do. Anyway, that concludes my review. I hope it helps.
