While it stands as being a good representation of the Batwing from the '89 film, the Hot Wheels version of this vehicle lacks the one thing that nothing made by Hot Wheels should be without... die cast metal.
It's a 100% plastic, and though I can understand keeping it light to make it work better with the included stand, it's still a shame that they didn't use any metal at all.

The Bat-Pod on the other hand is a mix of die cast and plastic, and is a surprisingly sturdy little vehicle. Thanks in part to what I think are weighted wheels, the thing rolls perfectly, and is a lot of fun to play with... which is no big surprise given how slick it looks.

The entire line of Batman vehicles by Hot Wheels has been a treat really. It's not easy for me to find fault with any of them. Even the weirdly sporadic release of new vehicles is only a minor problem, as I've ended up finding all of them over time.

All plastic Batwing? That's a shame, I guess my ALL METAL Ertl Batwing from '89 shall remain superior to this one. I'll probably buy it when I see it anyways, though ;)
