As I wrote on facebook, $89.99 for each so x4 = $359.96 PLUS shipping @$14 X4 for additional $56. Looks cool but no thanks. And someone (Jess Rivers) mentioned it was Eartha Kitt's Catwoman and Not Julie Newmar's with that "Kitty Car" for the backdrop

I know I’m about to sound like a broken record but as with all Hamilton Collection/Bradford Exchange items, I’ll reserve judgement until we see an actual photograph of the product. They’ve been notorious for baiting and switching the CGI promo images with end product that bares little to no resemblance. This has been true for almost every ‘66 product they’ve released in the last 7 years or so.

I agree with both of you. Fun to see it in production but I will pass.

It would be fun to attempt to model these cars in 3d though.

I would love to see your take on any of these!

I can't even bring myself to file the Hamilton/Bradford stuff under the "not for me/but i'm glad it's out there" category because of the shoddy quality at any given price point, and in turn the poor sales reflects badly on the '66 TV series product license as a whole from a prospective licensees perspective.

There are plenty of Batmobiles. The most potentially worthwhile car here is the Jokermobile. Could be neat of done well.

Note the Catwoman section--all Newmar, for a car that appeared during the Kitt period of season three. I know Newmar is the most popular Dozierverse Catwoman, but the staff at Hamilton had to know the car only appeared in season three, so it begs the question...why Newmar images? Is it a rights issue with Kitt's estate preventing the use of her likeness? Disrespect by favoring Newmar as "THE" Catwoman despite the aforementioned chronological problem of who had the part?
