Is this for real?
I happened upon this "Batmobile" on eBay today. It looks like someone just added batman to a random tin car. Anyone know if this is for real or custom?

Re: Is this for real?
It sure looks like the same Batman figure from this toy. Anyone? Tommy?

Re: Is this for real?
WOW! I have never never never seen this one before. It kinda looks custom, like he used a spare Batman or something. But, the price was at 1 thousand 300 something when I looked at it...weird! It is kinda cool though.

Re: Is this for real?
I'm glad I no longer collect every Batmobile I see. That's way too expensive
I think that is genuine

Re: Is this for real?
Yeah, I am beginning to think it's real also. I just noticed the bat-license plate. Oh, to be a millionaire!

Re: Is this for real?
That one is good looking compared to some of the Japanese Bat-nonsense that I have in my collection.

Well, ok then. Do you mean you just don't like it or that you think it is a poor custom job?
I love the weird Japanese stuff. Check out the gun in the post below. I think it is AWESOME!

Re: Is this for real?
I just hate when crap is thrown together, whether by companies or individuals, just to exploit Batfans to make a buck. If it's something cool then I can see wanting and buying it but this looks like somebody took a common, ugly, toy car and stuffed a Batman figure in it to push it off as a Bat-item. There are so many other very cool items that I would rather have and for over $2000 this is just obscene!

Re: Is this for real?
Gosh, I don't think it is an ugly car at all. The lithography on the dashboard alone makes me drool. I do wish it were about a 1000 times more Batmobile-y . It looks like Bruce Wayne forgot to take off his Batman costume before he went to his Wayne Industries board meeting that day.
If it is for real, and as rare as the seller is claiming, I have no issue with that price. Someone did buy it! Good for them, but it would not be my first choice of rare Batmobile purchases.
*-I am editing this because I checked back and it has not yet sold, nor met the seller's reserve price.-*
