Iconic. My older brothers gaming room as both. Among other cool things. Him and his wife go hard. Its like a museum of nostalgia actually and my brother always adds nice touch of games we played together like Halo, RuneScape and StarCraft/Warcraft.
Wow. Thank you! Excellent video. And thank you of calling out how even though you can be licensed, how much is still up to the company and it’s fans to get it right. The group and it’s passionate people made this what it is. “Excited Norm is my favorite Norm” amen.
Wow! Just wow! Now this one is a beauty and flawless! Another great unboxing experience from Adam! I got my waitlist converted back then, but my son was seriously sick, and our whole world crumbled and so messed up that I had to let the chance go. Now my son's doing better, and I hope I got one more chance of happiness in owning this amazing piece after all the craziness. Fingers crossed my waitlist converted once again 🤞❤ Keep up the great work Joost & family! 👏👏
This is truly a work of art that has no comparisons from any other company in any other scale that I have seen. An amazing piece of work that any true batman fan must own!
I just love the honest enthusiasm from Adam when seeing these videos. Back in the day my dad used to watch Mythbusters and it wasn't for me as a 17 year old kid but now, being 38 years old and a full grown nerd I just love the content on this channel so much. Keep doing what you're doing Adam!
@@SEEshadow very easy for you to say when you’re probably not financially invested in the product. From your comment, it seems your standards don’t increase when spending more money
Me too. I saw the Kilmer Batmobile up close and it didn't appeal to me. The 1989 one had great references to the old luxury cars and modern sports cars with a really slick design. The gadgets in the movie where pretty awesome too. Especially the shields.
Yeah, this one is number one for me. A close second is the 66 Batmobile. Then the Tumbler. The one from The Batman is just to regular car with modifications for me.
Mickey Thompson was a hot rod major supplier and friend of my parents (Spence Murray, my dad, who was editor of Rod & Custom Magazine for 20 years and an inductee into the Hot Rod Hall of Fame) and Mickey was sadly and horribly murdered along with his wife one morning by unidentified assailants, RIP MICKEYTHOMPSON&HISWIFE! We always keep them in our thoughts and revere them and their incredible contribution to Hollywood and to the hot rod community.
They found out that Michael Goodwin, a former business partner, murdered Mickey and his wife. He was convicted in 2007. I remember when the murders happened, I was only like 8 years old. It's weird seeing someone older than me (Adam) NOT know who MT was.
I was 12 years old when this batman movie came out, and was already a huge fan of the superman movies from 1978 and 1980, and i had seen plenty of episodes of the 1960's Batman show. I just remember to this day, how my mind exploded when I saw this car on the screen for the first time, it's a highlight in cinema history.This car hasn't been topped in any batman movie since, it's quite simply the most iconic batmobile ever made.
Easily. I feel the same way about the suit in the OG movie too. It's fantasy, so I honestly couldn't care less about it being realistic with practical head-turning neck and nonsense like that. Batman isn't realistic in the first place, and just like with comics it's a vibe, stylistic, all about the look of the piece far more than realism and practicality.
Mickey Thompson is a world-famous drag racer and former world speed record holder, who started a tire company that still exists today specializing in high speed and drag racing tires. I'm AMAZED that Adam didn't know who he was!
@@wileytheacmesalesman7760 Not really, no. Bridgestone Blimp they might know, and the Micheline Man sure. And how many know even the first thing about drag racing? Exactly. And most people around the world have no idea about Nascar which is much smaller than the fans in The Bubble think it is. Hell it's not as big in the States. Same goes for tyres. I wouldn't have had a clue if my brother didn't go drag racing. I think you're overstating things incredibly. Go out and ask some non car guys, women, ask some kids and be prepared for many many more blank stares than you assumed. Most people don't care about tyres until they have to replace 'em! Just agreeing to disagree as they say.
Norman Chan's knowledge of both the toy manufacturing process and the original movie car is next level. It's so interesting hearing all these tidbits and factoids. Thanks guys
Starting at around 8:39 when they start to remove the plastic bag my jaw pretty much just dropped and stayed dropped the next 15 mins. I'm a big Batman '89 fan but the Batmobile I would argue is probably the greatest car / wheeled vehicle design of at all time.
I like how Adam is like the dad who got his son a cool toy and even though the kid is excited to play with it...dad can't help but touch and move everything. Amazing model!
LIDAR scans of large objects is not joke. - Some algorithms that combine the data will sometimes flatten protruding details (like a nose. - Some materials need to be coated if you want them to show up. - Then there's mechanical error-drift from whatever gimble you use to either move the LIDAR or move the target. What I'm trying to say is, getting high-detailed LIDAR scans of large objects is no joke.
Love watching these guys! They make everything so exciting, which is so nice to see. They are very detailed and make you wanna watch til the end….then watch again!
Like many others I love this Batmobile! I was 8 years old when this movie came out and it was the coolest thing ever as a kid and as an adult too!. Thanks guys!
I love seeing Norms face panic anytime Adam tries to open or install something 😂. I’d be just as nervous!! Great review, this makes me extra excited to finally get mine in my hands.
A truly impressive feat in manufacturing and skilled artistry. I'm not even a huge DC fan but if I had $1,400 just burning a hole in my pocket I would absolutely pick this thing up because the scale and compound curve are just so incredibly impressive. This is by far the most accurate reproduction of this particular Batmobile I have ever seen! Thank you guys for sharing.
Technically this looks like it should be the Batman Returns version. The first film used a custom paint called "Flip Flop" where it appeared to have a more satin finish with hints of purple at certain angles. In Returns, the paint looked gloss black.
You’ll need to see it in different lighting. Just like the original, they were able to replicate the paint finish with the color flip. We even had input on the percentage of green tint we liked in the paint! 😂 some of the other video reviews show it off better in light to show the colors.
Go to the site. They tried hard to replicate the first, not the second. People complained it didn't look black enough, but they got to the point eventually. And they keep saying it's kinda hard to tell in photos/on video. As it was in the film. Anyway yeah they went for the finish of the first.
It looks like the center of the wheels is smaller in the back, compared to the front. I think thats to the difference in wheel thickness... Love that. I always love it when the size of an object or the viewing angles of the onlooker creates optical illusions with sweet effects, and its MOST amazing when that was specifically intended by the Maker. First learned about that in school when talking about the form of the collumns in the greek Pantheon. But what a great Model man. Such an amazing work. I love this car.
Almost like he specifically researched these things before the video…. lol. You’re acting like he’s just a fountain of knowledge. He knows what he is presenting.
It's insane, spectacular scale, I have a smaller one. Today, 10/26/89, my dad and I were watching the first Batman at the cinema in São Paulo, it was the premiere here.😢. I miss you so much, man, if it's been 35 years, it seems like it was yesterday. I remember it in detail.
My dad used to own one of the 3 promotional ones. It resides in a museum in Japan the last we heard. Lots of differences between it and the hero vehicles just to make it more inviting to people looking up close and what not. It was very cool. That one was made from the base of a ~1982 Buick. I got picked up from Middle School in it. I became quite famous after that around the playground.
This a thing of beauty! Museum quality. Jazz Inc hit it out of the park! Wow! I also have to say that the Hot Toys 89 Batmobile was pretty amazing when it was released. For someone to come along and say, we can do better and deliver on this scale is something I do not take for granted. Adam and Norm I LOVED your discussion on this piece. Your collective knowledge on this car and the manufacturing process to bring something like this to life just makes me appreciate it ever more. Thank you and keep up the great work!
That is one fantastic model. Some camera angles you did, I thought I was watching a scene from the movie. And the model makers are great to listen to fans, that's how you make your company from something small to something huge.
Currently awaiting for my Jazzinc 89 Batmobile to be delivered! I was there on day one and have enjoyed the ride watching this thing come into fruition!
OMG! I SO need this in my collection! Wow, such great attention to detail. It would go so well with my other scale figures.. 1989 Batman & Batman Returns CatWoman & Penguin! I’m Just in awe ❤ I would need to build like a table plexiglass display or something to set it off nicely 😍
I have been awaiting mine to arrive and had reservations until this video, you clearly see every inch from every angle in 4k and its brilliant. Great showcase, it dissolved any doubts I had. I have seen a few comments crying over price and $100 to some people is everything while 10k to some people is nothing. you live within your means and nothing is owed to anyone. If lucky we all get a limited number of rotations around the sun, so stop wasting that finite time worrying about others and focus on bettering yourself.
That’s a wonderful sentiment, but it still doesn’t change the fact the price for this is still utterly outrageous. 1400 is nothing to me, I live very well and am fortunate to do so, but this is just ridiculous. So many die hard Batman fans are never going to be able to get a chance to get this, and that’s such a sad thing. The outrageous prices for these models has caused such a terrible pay wall, that prevents a lot of fans all over the world from getting to experience the joy of collecting stuff like this. I’ve noticed it becoming a trend with a lot of these large scale models, not just this one. Star Trek ships are another ones that have become simply ridiculous to afford. This shouldn’t be any more than 500-600 dollars, and as a long time collector, they used to be in that price range. It’s just sad, and it’s really easy for people like you and me that can afford it, to tell those that can’t to get over it and that the world isn’t fair. You realize that right? It’s easy to look down the mountain at others when you’re already standing at the top.
@@codyt821 "I feel people don't understand how much something cost to get made. The only reason companies like Hot Toys (HT) can give 500-700 dollar 1/6 scale vehicles is they have the audience to allow them to make 50-80k units and divide cost. Looks at Blitzway that made some 40,000 Ecto1 at $1500. JazzInc's largest run ever is this 89 Batmobile and it's only around 2500 units give or take.... Math is math and you're getting a lot for your money." To say that this JazzInc 89 Batmobile's price is "ridiculous" and shouldn't be more than 500-600 dollars is inaccurate due to the economics of sale involved. The JazzInc price would certainly be much lower had they the capacity and capability to make 50-80k units as HT are capaple of doing. Sadly, the reality is that the former can't. I do undertand however that there will those who cannot afford this. That's a given.
@@codyt821boo fkn hoo for them. They can go buy some cheaper one. This isn’t expensive for the sake of being expensive. It’s expensive, because it’s quality. It costs what it costs , because thats what it costs… , like whining that not everyone will be allowed to get a Rolex. Boo hoo. Get a seiko
@@codyt821 I really can’t get over how stupid this take was. You want to cost $500.??? do you understand that all the cool things featured here wouldn’t be in a $500 car??? That fit and finish will not be in a $500 car.
A number of (off the shelf and sold as retail) digital cameras going back to about 2001-2002 were made that are precise enough to get engineering and architectural detail down to a point of less than one tenth of one millimeter. The cameras of this era were only about 5mp. It only worked with certain lenses, and then specifically only under certain apertures and focal lengths.
I've got the Jazzinc ZSJL batmobile, and you look at the measurements thinking yeah it's big. When you get it you think Holy S**t it's huge! So happy for you, got an amazing product!
"Is Micky Thompson a Batman character?" OMG! That's such a funny thing to hear someone ask. Never mind that the someone is Adam Savage. I'm still laughing. 🤣
This is an amazing model, they knocked it out of the park, if I HAD to make one criticism, it would be that the front yellow lights are not right, I remember them being amber/orange, but like I said that is a nit pick and it looks AMAZING the amount of detail and hard work that was put into this run really shows that the people who made it really care about what they are putting out
That is just beautiful. When I was little, and in Cub Scouts, my dad and I made a version of this for the Pinewood Derby race. I wonder if my parents still have pictures of it, because I'm sure it didn't look nearly as awesome as I remember it. lol
Saw this Batmobile at the Birmingham NEC motorshow many years ago. It emerged from a false wall/box enclosure accompanied by flashing lights and smoke working on a timer. Unforgettable. Fantastic.
Funny true story:there was a movie outtake in the 1989 batman movie where batman got in the car and the roof slide back and the roof CAUGHT his pointy ears!!! 🤣....CUT!! Tooo funny.
19:33 Sorry, but I must scream at the screen here. Those are NOT Thompson machine guns. Even at age ten when I saw the movie in the theater, I knew that those were BROWNING M2 .50 caliber machine guns! Then, being part of Weapons Company in the Marine Corps, I regularly got to shoot and maintain the M2. It is a beloved piece of artistic destruction that shall NOT be mocked, by comparing it to a lowly Thompson sub-machine gun. Over 100 years of continuous service, and easily another 100 to come. The only thing that will outlast the B52 BUFF, will be the M2 Browning. I'll end my rant now. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL model.
Guess what else they are NOT? M2 Brownings. Those ARE NOT .50 cal M2s. They are .30 cal M1919s. So it turns out that none of you guys actually know what you're talking about.
I had the original released from the film in 89.. my grandad got it for me along with the batwing, bob and joker.. absolutely loved it! This brings me back and is incredible!
It makes me happy that there are people who can get so happy by a thing and obsess over it to this level. Oh and it really comes through that Adam and Norm are friends and really share this high level nerdery :D Thank you two and the rest of the team as well for making Tested happen, it brightens my day :)
The way that model catches the shop lights is amazing. It looks just like the actual car. The biggest issue with this design is the afterburner. An afterburner works off of the exhaust from the jet engine. The problem is, this car has a cockpit between the engine and afterburner. I had the plastic model kit, which showed the engine exhaust on the bottom of the car just ahead of the cockpit. Now then, make it radio controlled!
I actually helped on this in sending photos of my Batmobile to the guys and gals over at Jazz. GREAT effin people; But Yea, we sent pictures of our car, some digitals I made etc. Looks amazing.
Adam: Mickey Thompson Performance Tires was founded in 1963 to develop & provide racing tires, f.e. for the Indy 500. Today MT (and also Hoosier) is primarily known for tires in drag racing and road course racing. 🤘
@@adlerarmory8382Mickey Thompson does not make Super Swampers! Interco does! Their most popular Offroad tire right now is the Baja Pro X (aka Sticky Mickies)
This is my most fav Batmobile of all the versions. I just wish I had the money....because I would buy one in a heartbeat. And yes I would be geeking over it just like they are.
When I was 10 or 11 I built this car as a plastic model kit, it was my favorite build as a kid. I remember those intakes on the sides were a real pain. But then I had a frickin Batmobile on my shelf, which was awesome.

Thanks... all good news then
If you have the money to do this, you’re probably winning at life.
There was one for sale in forbidden planet in the window
That is such an insane reproduction scale model!!!! The level of detail and size of it is hyper attentive!!!
Thank you 😊
Awesome unboxing! I got edition 001 and its currently on its way to me now!
Currently awaiting for my Jazzinc 89 Batmobile to be delivered! I was there on day one and have enjoyed the ride watching this thing come into fruition!
I =can see the green glow on the paint, and it's glorious!!!
Only channel that i enjoy every moment of an unboxing
This was always my favorite Batmobile
"Where does he get those wonderful toys?”
You two are just like kids on Christmas morning, open8ng your new gifts. Awesome.
OMG! I SO need this in my collection! Wow, such great attention to detail. It would go so well with my other scale figures.. 1989 Batman & Batman Returns CatWoman & Penguin! I’m Just in awe ❤ I would need to build like a table plexiglass display or something to set it off nicely 😍
I have been awaiting mine to arrive and had reservations until this video, you clearly see every inch from every angle in 4k and its brilliant. Great showcase, it dissolved any doubts I had. I have seen a few comments crying over price and $100 to some people is everything while 10k to some people is nothing. you live within your means and nothing is owed to anyone. If lucky we all get a limited number of rotations around the sun, so stop wasting that finite time worrying about others and focus on bettering yourself.
That’s a wonderful sentiment, but it still doesn’t change the fact the price for this is still utterly outrageous. 1400 is nothing to me, I live very well and am fortunate to do so, but this is just ridiculous. So many die hard Batman fans are never going to be able to get a chance to get this, and that’s such a sad thing. The outrageous prices for these models has caused such a terrible pay wall, that prevents a lot of fans all over the world from getting to experience the joy of collecting stuff like this. I’ve noticed it becoming a trend with a lot of these large scale models, not just this one. Star Trek ships are another ones that have become simply ridiculous to afford. This shouldn’t be any more than 500-600 dollars, and as a long time collector, they used to be in that price range. It’s just sad, and it’s really easy for people like you and me that can afford it, to tell those that can’t to get over it and that the world isn’t fair. You realize that right? It’s easy to look down the mountain at others when you’re already standing at the top.
@@codyt821 "I feel people don't understand how much something cost to get made. The only reason companies like Hot Toys (HT) can give 500-700 dollar 1/6 scale vehicles is they have the audience to allow them to make 50-80k units and divide cost. Looks at Blitzway that made some 40,000 Ecto1 at $1500. JazzInc's largest run ever is this 89 Batmobile and it's only around 2500 units give or take.... Math is math and you're getting a lot for your money." To say that this JazzInc 89 Batmobile's price is "ridiculous" and shouldn't be more than 500-600 dollars is inaccurate due to the economics of sale involved. The JazzInc price would certainly be much lower had they the capacity and capability to make 50-80k units as HT are capaple of doing. Sadly, the reality is that the former can't. I do undertand however that there will those who cannot afford this. That's a given.
Shame. 🇬🇧
@@codyt821boo fkn hoo for them. They can go buy some cheaper one. This isn’t expensive for the sake of being expensive. It’s expensive, because it’s quality. It costs what it costs , because thats what it costs… , like whining that not everyone will be allowed to get a Rolex. Boo hoo. Get a seiko
@@codyt821 I really can’t get over how stupid this take was. You want to cost $500.??? do you understand that all the cool things featured here wouldn’t be in a $500 car??? That fit and finish will not be in a $500 car.
'Mickey Thompson'... "Is he a Batman character?" @tested LMFAOOOO 🤣🤣
A number of (off the shelf and sold as retail) digital cameras going back to about 2001-2002 were made that are precise enough to get engineering and architectural detail down to a point of less than one tenth of one millimeter. The cameras of this era were only about 5mp. It only worked with certain lenses, and then specifically only under certain apertures and focal lengths.
patiently waiting on ours!
I've got the Jazzinc ZSJL batmobile, and you look at the measurements thinking yeah it's big. When you get it you think Holy S**t it's huge! So happy for you, got an amazing product!
"Is Micky Thompson a Batman character?" OMG! That's such a funny thing to hear someone ask. Never mind that the someone is Adam Savage. I'm still laughing. 🤣
Always enjoyable to watch passionate people talk about something they love. Also, what a beautiful model. Thanks guys
This is an amazing model, they knocked it out of the park, if I HAD to make one criticism, it would be that the front yellow lights are not right, I remember them being amber/orange, but like I said that is a nit pick and it looks AMAZING the amount of detail and hard work that was put into this run really shows that the people who made it really care about what they are putting out
They are yellow, they just looked that way in the film because of colour grading I think
@@christopherpekel6096 oh ok i could see that
That is just beautiful. When I was little, and in Cub Scouts, my dad and I made a version of this for the Pinewood Derby race. I wonder if my parents still have pictures of it, because I'm sure it didn't look nearly as awesome as I remember it. lol
Best Batmobile ever, period.
Indeed!
Awesome! This is and will always be my favorite batman.
Unmatched design, the greatest Batmobile ever made
Saw this Batmobile at the Birmingham NEC motorshow many years ago. It emerged from a false wall/box enclosure accompanied by flashing lights and smoke working on a timer. Unforgettable. Fantastic.
Funny true story:there was a movie outtake in the 1989 batman movie where batman got in the car and the roof slide back and the roof CAUGHT his pointy ears!!! 🤣....CUT!!
Tooo funny.
Thanx Adam and Norm. Spectacular!!! 💙🌻💙
That is one good lookin Batmobile.
So much nostalgia. you guys are so lucky !! I would love this.
19:33 Sorry, but I must scream at the screen here. Those are NOT Thompson machine guns. Even at age ten when I saw the movie in the theater, I knew that those were BROWNING M2 .50 caliber machine guns!
Then, being part of Weapons Company in the Marine Corps, I regularly got to shoot and maintain the M2. It is a beloved piece of artistic destruction that shall NOT be mocked, by comparing it to a lowly Thompson sub-machine gun. Over 100 years of continuous service, and easily another 100 to come. The only thing that will outlast the B52 BUFF, will be the M2 Browning.
I'll end my rant now.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL model.
I’ve always loved the scene in Black Hawk Down: “Someone get on that 50!!”
That annoyed me as well
@EganTM oh yes!! What a scene and what a film. Tom Sizemore i believe was screaming the order.
They look like .30s to me
Guess what else they are NOT? M2 Brownings. Those ARE NOT .50 cal M2s. They are .30 cal M1919s. So it turns out that none of you guys actually know what you're talking about.
I had the original released from the film in 89.. my grandad got it for me along with the batwing, bob and joker.. absolutely loved it! This brings me back and is incredible!
Goodness, Adam, lexan scratches so easily (looks like lexan but I could be wrong).
Stunning craftsmanship, definitely a display piece it’s truly a work of art.
"You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts!" 🦇🖤🃏
It makes me happy that there are people who can get so happy by a thing and obsess over it to this level. Oh and it really comes through that Adam and Norm are friends and really share this high level nerdery :D
Thank you two and the rest of the team as well for making Tested happen, it brightens my day :)
Bat logo on the steering wheel... just incase Batman forgets who he is. LOL
The way that model catches the shop lights is amazing. It looks just like the actual car. The biggest issue with this design is the afterburner. An afterburner works off of the exhaust from the jet engine. The problem is, this car has a cockpit between the engine and afterburner. I had the plastic model kit, which showed the engine exhaust on the bottom of the car just ahead of the cockpit. Now then, make it radio controlled!
that thing’s incredible, man. kudos to the makers.
Thank you
Ive got the recent Lego 1989 Batmobile and it fits easily on a shelf. I would need a whole room for this 1/6 scale batmobile.
My fave Batmobile of all time!.
I do love me a nice unboxing! That model is amazing!
I actually helped on this in sending photos of my Batmobile to the guys and gals over at Jazz. GREAT effin people; But Yea, we sent pictures of our car, some digitals I made etc. Looks amazing.
"WHOA.....HOLY MASSIVE DIFFERENCES BATMAN"
This is my favourite live version, but my ultimate favourite is the one from Batman the animated series. Thst art deco style is perfect.
Most iconic Batmobile ever!
Adam: Mickey Thompson Performance Tires was founded in 1963 to develop & provide racing tires, f.e. for the Indy 500. Today MT (and also Hoosier) is primarily known for tires in drag racing and road course racing. 🤘
And off roading tires like the Super Swampers.
@@adlerarmory8382Mickey Thompson does not make Super Swampers! Interco does! Their most popular Offroad tire right now is the Baja Pro X (aka Sticky Mickies)
This is my favorite batmobile of all.
So cool, the way the back piece went into place perfectly was quality
That wheel and tire combo is so iconic.
This is my most fav Batmobile of all the versions. I just wish I had the money....because I would buy one in a heartbeat. And yes I would be geeking over it just like they are.
Those machine guns are Browning M1919 .30 Caliber MG's.
When I was 10 or 11 I built this car as a plastic model kit, it was my favorite build as a kid. I remember those intakes on the sides were a real pain.
But then I had a frickin Batmobile on my shelf, which was awesome.
My favorite Batmobile is the 1989 Batmobile
You guys are AWESOME!!👍👍⭐😁❤ WONDERFUL PRODUCT!! This BATMOBILE'S THE BOSS!!👊⭐👍😍😎
Holy shit that thing is sick
