THE BATMAN FOREVER HOT WHEELS


Batman is a very popular subject with Hot Wheels. Every year there is a Batman sub-series within the Mainline range.

For 2023 the Batman series contains the usual five models, some of which are available in different colours. From the 1995 film is the Batman Forever Batmobile, with three large fins. This is a New model for this year.

It is not really obvious in the photographs, but the model is in a two-tone black finish. There is a distinct difference between the painted gloss black upper body in metal, which includes the front mudguards and the central fin; and the matt black plastic lower body, which includes the rear mudguards and side fins.

The front grille and headlights, cockpit windows, the exposed engine, and the rear exhaust are all chromed. Black plastic base, with a 2022 copyright date. There is a light blue design on the nose.

The Hot Wheels Wiki page says there is to be a second colour for this model, but does not say what it is yet.

  1. Batman Forever was a good Batman flick and I like this car Paul. There's some retro styling and deco fins. Nice die-cast all round. There may have been a big plastic version released for the film.

  2. Hot Wheels itself came up with its own Knight Rider too:
