So there *is* a limit as to what Hot Toys buyers will buy! Regardless of if it's the price or the execution (I love the Batmissile myself), I never thought we'd see the day that we'd hit that red line...

How'd it go from a two-seater to a one-seater?

That is sweet!! I love this version of the Batmobile, it's very scene specific. Hot Toys is something I wish I could get into but it is just simply too expensive. I will admit those Batman movie figures as well as the previous Batmobile from the 89 movie look incredible!!
