What's your background for filming? You have such high production value, it makes me wonder are you in the film industry, done photography as a profession? The lighting, sets and how you just construct your shots are just a treat for the eyes!
I think you undersell your customizing skills. You did a very good job sprucing up that Spinmaster Batwing. Thank you for spending your own bucks and time to show us what can be done!
This batwing is the best deal I have seen on a vehicle in a long time. I was fortunate enough to get one, and it's easy to make a seat for 2 figures. Nice video 💯
I hate LEDs or gimmicks in adult collectables. They jack up the price and most people will never use it. A great example in my collection is SH Monsterarts Biollante. She was $300 with a light up gimmick. The issue was the switch was on the underside and you had to pick up and move a brittle figure that would fall apart to use. Now with statues....yes, as long as it's powered by a usb and the switch is on the side, great. But stop with these overpriced gimmicks on adult figures.
Bro! You say you’re a simple kit basher, but yo, we are seeing the work. Everything you do is on point! Favorite channel hands-down. Don’t know what else to say. Keep it up bro, we love it.
Much love brother 🙏🏽 You blew this custom out of the water man looks like a $100+ Batwing now !! I’m gonna have to follow suit and do the same custom now 🔥
Top shelf work, Ninja. You've definitely shown me what's possible with this version, and that made all the difference. That was epic music behind the finished reveal also.
Big props out to you AN and others like you,giving us collectors other options. And what you were able to accomplish with that spinster bat wing was fire 🔥. Keep it up
If someone could clone & 3D print the car seat’s from the WWE 1/12 slam-cars, they would probably look really good in that spin master. Love the video as always man, keep up the great work.
Looks like they are back in stock. I just ordered one. I had some rewards points to use too so this only cost me about $30. Once it gets here and I get the dimensions, I think I might design and 3D print an interior for the cockpit.
I honestly wish I had your creative skill set. You make customizing look so easy. How long did it take for you to get to where you're at skill wise? Would you consider making a video on getting started and a walkthrough? Thanks again for great content!
Looks damn good in my opinion ! Really wanted that batwing also but I past on it for 250 . Only way to bring out companies bs is to keep the fires burning about the greed out there .
Back in the day, we had so many choices for toys. It seemed like every toy line had a cheaper, less detailed alternative. Transformers had Go-Bots, for example. My point is we had choices. Now a days it seems as if those choices might be returning. You have the top of the line and then you have a viable alternative to work with. Plus, there's competition which in my opinion makes the market better! What you did with this Batwing just proves that imagination and a little work can go a long way!
Nice Work, Ninja! It really is amazing what you can do with a little paint and some imagination. Be a perfect piece if somebody comes up with a way to fill the wings in on the bottom, and maybe put some doors on the landing gear. Wish I knew I could get one, I'd give that a solid try. Keep up the great work, man! Hope to see you hanging with Bobby and the gang again!! Those were great shows!!
That looks really good. When that spinmaster batwing is available in the uk I’ll definitely pick it up. Think the price difference is strange as the McFarlane batwing at most of the online retailers is £175 in the uk but it’s McFarlane store exclusive if I’m right and is $250?!?! Even if you convert dollars to pounds still going to be cheaper here in the UK bizarre. Awesome work on inside too think I’d do similar if I can find parts here. I know you said WWE chair would be ok but I like yours looks stylised. Awesome vid as always keep up the good work
I got one from Target too..$250 is understandable, but with all the things we buy these days we gotta try and save where we can. The Spinmasters isn't that bad. It's not premium, but it does the job. If I had extra cash hanging around I might get the Mcfarlane version, but until then I can make do with a cheaper alternative. It's good that this actually came out. We were given options.
Dang thats really cool, i love vehical's but am always put off by the prices, this is great way of showing the possible Potential that allows those who dont mind or enjoy customizing there figures and accessories to get just that much more satisfaction out of there collection. as a collector myself, it gives me the opportunity to have something unique nobody else has. Thanks Articulated Ninja
Those seats look good, chairs might work better, but wouldn't beat that look. It was great idea. I wonder if you could do chairs, and add those parts to them. But the whole thing looks great. The price is crazy, and those add ons definitely stepped it up. Definitely need one for batman figures.
There is a lot to like from Spin Master. Yours looks fantastic. I got the smaller Amazon exclusive one. And like you said. It’s a great starting point. I like the simplicity of it. Can’t wait for all the Batmobiles. Be well.
Thanks for the video Articulated. More importantly thanks for your service to our community. This is the type of video I enjoy watching because your perspective is just what our community needs after the EoG.
I’ve been customizing Gundams lately, I am enjoying the technical aspects of the engineering. With a little added panel lines and som flat black paint, and some gunmetal. This could be pretty dope.
Dude, thanks for showing your process. I'm really new at this stuff, so it's super helpful for me. That and the Mafex Batman for scale, because it's definitely Mafex going in these for me. You've convinced me to go Spinmaster. Cheaper price and easier customisability makes it an easy choice. I really want two chairs, just feels wrong with only one, and I want the chairs to match, so even if I can add one to the McFarlane, it won't match. The landing gear is definitely a plus in my mind, because... yeah, I ain't mounting this on a wall. But that price especially is what sells me on it. I just can't justify spending the money on that McFarlane one. Good looking out, man.
Wow! That looks great! I got a bunch of final faction stuff, I noticed before you used the engine out of the final faction vehicle for the blower scoop on your ghost rider car! Great work!
Great vid and custom! Collectors need to see this kind of content to make educated purchases...and to open their eyes to company bs. Vote with your wallet yall
Thanks ninja, I’ve been getting confused on all this batwing stuff. Just FYI for your viewers. ringside collectibles has very similar chairs to the WWE chairs. They are usually around $5-$6. They are out of stock when I post this but they pop up occasionally. Some other stiff under Wresting accessories might be useful to some who customize as well.
0 seconds ago I've done nothing but praise Spin Master ever since they got the DC license. They have made some great quality stuff tor what you are paying. Their packaging is the only real weakness since it always looks more Dollar store quality, but I can deal with that .I hope they extended their deal amd we get more from them.
I'd like to see a review of what you get from the Mcfarlane version before passing judgment. Especially if it has all the features they showed in the Burton movie. $250 is allot but at least its not as stupid as the engine of greed of the hiss tank in cost. Also give how cool the Batmobile seems to be at that $80? price point there's got to be a reason his batwing is so much more. Given what he's done so far I think he's earned a benitfit of doubt until it gets into reviewers hands.
My man ninja good job on upgrading , but I’ve got to tell ya when you flip up that bird /when you look at the bottom of that bat wing if it’s gonna be hanging from a ceiling, it looks horrible lol those unfinished wack square holes..You have to fill the entire space with another piece of plastic. Anywho … it’d look good on a shelf or wall but on the ceiling nah.. I mean I got one and just feels cheapo .. but then again I haven’t felt Toddy’s.. we’ll see as always love ur show ninja keep up the good work !
Spinmaster makes some really cool stuff. Glad I was also able to pick up that batwing as well. Your customization looks great, add some led’s for the thrusters and it’s gonna pop🔥
Really wanted one of these but sold out before yesterday's payday..sucks but hopefully more come along..just a beautiful Batwing..you killed the custom work and great vid as always man
I was wondering if you can actually close the canopy with the two figures sitting inside after you finished. I was able to pick this plane up. But it's not coming until Monday. And I can see a lot of people creating 3D printed interior for this.
Keep up the good fight the price gouging needs to be called out regardless. Memories of my Electronic AT AT with motorized pulsating cannons with lights and sound how did they digress from that was 1983😂 The greed of Hasbro and the like is disturbing these days. Good Luck Great Content🤘
Awesome simple fun customization. Shows alot of give a cr@p in the things you do in life and in your craft. I know alot of people that will buy these planes out and just let them sit in a garage for months and wait to scalp them to little kids, great example for the youth right? But thats what this hobby has become...anyways, cant wait for the news video and the next 3POA podcast...have my reminders set...
I purchased Mcfarlane BatMobile and Spinmaster Batwing.. together they cost less $100… there is no reason why other companies should be crowd funding and charging 4x the price for a single vehicle ..
We all should know by now that these expensive toys are only expensive because the target audience is adults. It doesn't matter how much plastic it use. its based on who its targeted to. And they know right now that collectors are willing to spend a heavy grip on toys. If you go into any toy store and walk down a kid section, you will see large toys for less than $100. toy companies charge a lot because they know we are willing to go broke to get it. So ultimately we are actually setting the prices. Every time a collector says they expect a certain toy to be X amount of dollars. Toy companies adjust. We should never come out and say this car is worth $300. Or I will be willing to pay $400 for this action figure. And then justify it by talking about the features. And then Hasbro come out and justify it by using our own talking points against us.
I like what you did to the bat plane I think it deserves a A+✨✨✨ Anyways Yeah I won't hate on anyone but like you I couldn't get behind crowd funding toys especially from companies who are sitting on billions when I'm not even a thousandaire! ( joke ) Watching your vids and others do help with finding convenient prices on second or third options for the 6inch figures to display with. Its just really sad being still a newbie to collecting and a female at that in a short time witnessing toy companies and scalpers can take the fun out of collecting with these pandemic prices during this time when it should be fun enjoying our hobby or hobbies! Not McFarlane he's been fair and consistent so yay him and I think his bat plane deserves that price its worth ✨✨ but this option and how you did it looks really boss and a super neat! 😀✨✨✨✨
I love how your showing us options but I had to support McFarlane on the batwing I agree it should be cheaper but he's give us vehicles at an affordable cost not to say spin Master isn't but that Batman 89 batmobile for $60 I just want Hasbro to see that McFarlane can make a profit without gouging their customer base
You really don't seem willing to accept this, but yeah a vehicle with the guarenteed sales channel provided by Walmart, Target, and Amazon can be very affordable, but if that is the only sales channel these companies use, then the only vehicles you will get are the ones those companies approve and purchase.
Always good to have options. Thanks for the video. Don't think I need another 89' Batwing. If I did get one, it would only be for display purposes and I already have one for that. For the longest time, no company would release an 89' Batwing or Batmobile close to 6" or 1/12 scale. Back in 2019 and 2020, Lego released both Batmobile and Batwing as Ultimate collector sets. Some small modifications and some extra bricks and I can get a Mafex Batman sitting comfortably in both of them. If the SpinMaster and the McFarlane versions were available three years ago, I am not sure which one I would have gone with.
I agree with you Articulated Ninja Turtle ..McFarlanes Batwing shouldnt be 250 it should be 80 or 100 at the most because lets think about if the batmobile goes for $60 the reasonable price for the batwing should be 80. I don't know what McFarlane was thinking
I wanna start this by saying I think the Spinmaster is a steal and will 100% be grabbing that at the first opportunity. I cannot afford the McFarlane. That being said: Theres a lot to take into consideration with the McFarlane in terms of plastic, sculpt, and size. When you scale up an object it's not linear, it's exponential. A 3x3x3 cube is 9x the volume of a 1x1x1. That 34 might be only 7inches wider, but rough math, it's nearly double the plastic. If the plastic quality they're using is more rigid and denser to hold better detail, plus it's not hollow, it's not simply a double price, but easily 3 or 4x the price. The increased weight and size increase shipping and handling costs in and out of the factory. Larger surface area and paint applications add to that cost. It's not being stocked in big box stores so they can't subsidize the expenses with large orders from Walmart or target. These charges add up fast. Could a flimsy, hollow, unpainted 34" batwing cost $100-150? Probably. But I'm expecting a collectable not a kids toy. Hold up the 12" batman that came with it next to a McFarlane and yell about how one is $5 vs $20. Maybe it's not apples and oranges but it's tomatoes and blue berries. The spinmaster is great but I think we as collectors need to have some self awareness about what we want, what we pay for, and the realities of manufacturing for us. But Hasbro can still f off with those HasLab isht.
I think part of the issue McFarlane is having with the batwing and why it costs so much is he isn't expecting it to sell as well as the batmobile so the print run is far less than the batmobile with be, making the cost of the tooling a lot more per vehicle. I still think the price is wild, but it's far more understandable standing against the ghost rider car
Excellent Video,Brotha🤙 Just got mine today & can't wait to open it. am doing some Custom Work on it,just gonna add the one seat don't careuch for the Back ones, detailing the cockpit & adding Fiber Optics and LEDs as well as outside Paint work.dunno where I could send you pics when I'm done with it,but THANKS for that Video 🤙
Great video Ninja. What brand of paints do you use on figures? I've just got into customizing figures and I'm looking for some decent paints. Keep on assassinating it ✌️✌️
Great video, Ninja! You‘ve sold me on this one! Will see if it‘s already available here in Germany and if so, will blatantly copy what sounded here! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I lucked up and bought two before the word got out. Since people don't like the hollow bottom wings if you were lucky enough to get two, take the wings off one and flip them bad boys upside down sandwich and glue the pieces together cut away the excess where it clips in now you have a full winged batwing. But Marvin what about the leftover fuselage from the batwing you took the wings from? Trim the edge and smooth in the gap with soma thin strips of balsawood. Coat it with epoxy then paint it black and BAM! NOW YOU GOT A COOL ASS BATBOAT that if sealed correctly, WILL FLOAT! I'm a real good customizer, and I would do basically what you did but hollow out the bottom to get more leg room. And like you pointed out before, Dollar Tree is a customizers friend. You can get some cool LED's with wires and a switch. You just have to know where tk look and how to take things a loose. Go into the section with the cheap-o little flashlights and you can get several LED's with batteries, battery holders, and switch. And spend maybe $8.00. So for less than $100.00 and a little skill, you can have a full winged batwing, a batboat, and 2-12" action figures that look better than McFarlane's $40.00 statue. BAM! MIC Drop!
What's your background for filming? You have such high production value, it makes me wonder are you in the film industry, done photography as a profession? The lighting, sets and how you just construct your shots are just a treat for the eyes!
Thanks for the kind words means alot and yes Im a photographer outside of the hobby so I try to capture moments and scenes🙏🏽

Brilliant work man, I never would've thought of the Final Faction vehicle armor for the chair back! Looks sick! Def not trash bro.
This batwing is the best deal I have seen on a vehicle in a long time. I was fortunate enough to get one, and it's easy to make a seat for 2 figures. Nice video 💯
Love your videos, Mister!!! 🙂 👍 💛
What type of glue should I use to keep the seats in place?
@@nyc_8075 u use super glue on everything
I hate LEDs or gimmicks in adult collectables. They jack up the price and most people will never use it. A great example in my collection is SH Monsterarts Biollante. She was $300 with a light up gimmick. The issue was the switch was on the underside and you had to pick up and move a brittle figure that would fall apart to use. Now with statues....yes, as long as it's powered by a usb and the switch is on the side, great. But stop with these overpriced gimmicks on adult figures.

If Mattel can release $30 to $40 WWE vehicles that have action features, than Hasblow can as well. $350 my arse.
Your custom work is excellent, looks really good ninja!

That's amazing. It would be a awesome ride for desert rat. It wouldn't be hard to turn it into a batman beyond batmobile either
You know, if you added like small tap lights where the sculpted fans at the bottom are thatd make for a sick display.
This looks really great and how much better that you customized it yourself.
Thats impressive and nice cost saving exercise. it must feel good adding personal touches to make an item look more premium 😊
I’ve been customizing Gundams lately, I am enjoying the technical aspects of the engineering. With a little added panel lines and som flat black paint, and some gunmetal. This could be pretty dope.

That Batwing looks good with the pain apps and customized cockpit. Vehicles don’t have to cost an arm and a leg.
For $40, fans get a really cool blank slate to pimp out for their Bat Family or whatever they want. That's a damn win!
Awesome custom. Better than I could do.... That Batwing is pretty impressive for $40, I wasn't even aware that this existed

You really don't seem willing to accept this, but yeah a vehicle with the guarenteed sales channel provided by Walmart, Target, and Amazon can be very affordable, but if that is the only sales channel these companies use, then the only vehicles you will get are the ones those companies approve and purchase.
Your awesome ninja again thinking of others almost every single video I hope everyone knows that. Thus following and backing you up. U deserve it
I still wasn’t going to buy a vehicle for $250 and up!!! NOPE!!!!
Ninja your seriously talented af !! Idk how anyone can defend Mcfarlane after this video and that ridiculous price !
toys is toys. some are nicer than others, but I think "adult collectable" is just a lie we tell ourselves, we just love F***in toys
*Saw this vid it was sold out. Went back to check and there was 1 left! Ordered ASAP! Thanks bro!*
See that’s what I’m talking about! Sweet batwing. 3D print a cockpit or seats? And boom.
Hope more of these Batwings go up cause I think I'd like one now after seeing a few reviews. Can't beat that price either.
I wanted the Mcfarlane, but if there's good enough to offer Batwing with small price I go with it.
There has to be a way you can make it to where you can set the figure in it to set up a cockpit and such good luck guys I’m tryin something
Thank you so much for the name drop! I was going crazy trying to find chairs to put in this thing.
Always good to have options. Thanks for the video. Don't think I need another 89' Batwing. If I did get one, it would only be for display purposes and I already have one for that. For the longest time, no company would release an 89' Batwing or Batmobile close to 6" or 1/12 scale. Back in 2019 and 2020, Lego released both Batmobile and Batwing as Ultimate collector sets. Some small modifications and some extra bricks and I can get a Mafex Batman sitting comfortably in both of them. If the SpinMaster and the McFarlane versions were available three years ago, I am not sure which one I would have gone with.
I agree with you Articulated Ninja Turtle ..McFarlanes Batwing shouldnt be 250 it should be 80 or 100 at the most because lets think about if the batmobile goes for $60 the reasonable price for the batwing should be 80. I don't know what McFarlane was thinking
Great honest review! Definitely subscribed to your channel bro.
This...could be a fun rainy day project...got me thinking as always man
Articulated ninja bouta cook💯
Do a Marvel Dc Amal gram universe figures like Bat Claw. Wolverine and Batman
Man I really hope hasbro is taking notes. I want some good vehicles for my joes.
Good video bro👍just got mine 🦇and that last phrase you said got me lol life is short bro
Dope Job. I appreciate everything u do for Toy community keep it up. Definitely need Alternative ideas ur just what Doctor or Toy community ordered.
Not gonna lie, that Mafex Hush Batman looks dope next to that $40 Batwing.
I wanna start this by saying I think the Spinmaster is a steal and will 100% be grabbing that at the first opportunity. I cannot afford the McFarlane.
That being said:
Theres a lot to take into consideration with the McFarlane in terms of plastic, sculpt, and size. When you scale up an object it's not linear, it's exponential. A 3x3x3 cube is 9x the volume of a 1x1x1. That 34 might be only 7inches wider, but rough math, it's nearly double the plastic. If the plastic quality they're using is more rigid and denser to hold better detail, plus it's not hollow, it's not simply a double price, but easily 3 or 4x the price. The increased weight and size increase shipping and handling costs in and out of the factory. Larger surface area and paint applications add to that cost. It's not being stocked in big box stores so they can't subsidize the expenses with large orders from Walmart or target. These charges add up fast. Could a flimsy, hollow, unpainted 34" batwing cost $100-150? Probably. But I'm expecting a collectable not a kids toy. Hold up the 12" batman that came with it next to a McFarlane and yell about how one is $5 vs $20. Maybe it's not apples and oranges but it's tomatoes and blue berries.
The spinmaster is great but I think we as collectors need to have some self awareness about what we want, what we pay for, and the realities of manufacturing for us. But Hasbro can still f off with those HasLab isht.
I think part of the issue McFarlane is having with the batwing and why it costs so much is he isn't expecting it to sell as well as the batmobile so the print run is far less than the batmobile with be, making the cost of the tooling a lot more per vehicle.
I still think the price is wild, but it's far more understandable standing against the ghost rider car
Excellent Video,Brotha🤙
Just got mine today & can't wait to open it. am doing some Custom Work on it,just gonna add the one seat don't careuch for the Back ones, detailing the cockpit & adding Fiber Optics and LEDs as well as outside Paint work.dunno where I could send you pics when I'm done with it,but THANKS for that Video 🤙
Great video Ninja. What brand of paints do you use on figures? I've just got into customizing figures and I'm looking for some decent paints. Keep on assassinating it ✌️✌️
Awesome as always bro, I'll be sending you some images over the weekend on ig.
Love the toy photography, the one with soft goods cape...artwork
Add some seats and it's great. Also sad model master testors are discontinuing the line of paints
That's as big as the lego batwing I have. Not bad for the money.
Spinmaster out there helping out the customs community.
Awesome work on that bat wing.. great video as usual bro🤙🏻
Loved seeing the figures in there. Awesome custom work!!!
Bruuuuuuuuuh it's already sold out ? Man it's been like a week 😔
This one looks great. But I went with the BIG dawg 😅
Looks great dude, this is gonna be my next vehicle
Ninja u doing sick work !!!
This Batwing is a customizers Dream!
Great video, Ninja! You‘ve sold me on this one! Will see if it‘s already available here in Germany and if so, will blatantly copy what sounded here! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I'm Vengeance!! I am the night! I'm Batman!!!
Dude that custom looks amazing
I lucked up and bought two before the word got out. Since people don't like the hollow bottom wings if you were lucky enough to get two, take the wings off one and flip them bad boys upside down sandwich and glue the pieces together cut away the excess where it clips in now you have a full winged batwing. But Marvin what about the leftover fuselage from the batwing you took the wings from? Trim the edge and smooth in the gap with soma thin strips of balsawood. Coat it with epoxy then paint it black and BAM! NOW YOU GOT A COOL ASS BATBOAT that if sealed correctly, WILL FLOAT!
I'm a real good customizer, and I would do basically what you did but hollow out the bottom to get more leg room. And like you pointed out before, Dollar Tree is a customizers friend. You can get some cool LED's with wires and a switch. You just have to know where tk look and how to take things a loose. Go into the section with the cheap-o little flashlights and you can get several LED's with batteries, battery holders, and switch. And spend maybe $8.00.
So for less than $100.00 and a little skill, you can have a full winged batwing, a batboat, and 2-12" action figures that look better than McFarlane's $40.00 statue. BAM! MIC Drop!
Dude I wanna see the finished product !
