Factory Entertainment’s 1:50-scale, fully lit 1966 Batcave model has landed on these shores and is getting ready to ship.
Need proof?
Here are the individual Batcaves as they were unloaded from the shipping container, fresh from overseas:
Who knows? Maybe one of those is yours!
Oh, and forget what it looks like? Here’s a shot of the production model, with added Hot Wheels Batmobile (sold separately):
This has been years in the making. Personally, I cannot wait to see the final version up close because this looks to be the Bat-granddaddy of all modern licensed Batman ’66 collectibles.
(Click here to check out our EXCLUSIVE video tour of the production model.)
The Batcave’s dimensions are 18” x 14” x 9” and it weighs about 20 pounds. There are two sets of lighting schemes that can be used alone or together. One circuit handles the atmospheric lighting, including the atomic pile — which features a rotating light pattern — while the other covers the Bat-equipment. (It’s powered by six AAA batteries but the final version includes a cord should you prefer to plug it into the wall.)
The price? $799. There are only 250 of these and they’re mostly sold out. You can still order one directly from Factory — click here — and yes, they take payment plans. (You should also ask your comics shop if they plan on carrying it or you can try your favorite online retailer.)
So I guess it’s time to hire a tiny British butler to keep it all tidy…
