I just bought the new 2012 Batmobile about 2 days ago, and I think it's really neat, it this one here:![]() However, a question I've been wondering for a long time is, why is the 2012 Hot Wheels Batmobile (The one in the movie) in Shabbir Malik's 2012 MC Gathering Ambassador Report. Here is the pic he posted: ![]() Why was this at the Gathering? Will it be both a Matchbox and a Hot Wheels? Did Shabbir accidentally post this picture? Could somebody please shed some light on this subject, it would be much appreciated! Here's the link to his ambassador report to see for yourself. There are also 2 other views, one showing the base. http://www.shabbir.com/matchbox/2012gathering.html |

I'm unsure what the Bat by HWs was shown in NM. We have several members that were present who might be able to give some insight on it. |

Money. The movie one I can understand. But this new Matchbox one in blue with red wheels? Doesn't seem consistent with the Batman aura at all. |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

I wish I could shed light on it but I'm as clueless on this as you are. It does seem a weird thing to bring to the Matchbox Gathering, but since Mattel owns both brands I never put it past them to promote Hot Wheels wherever they can (even at a Matchbox-specific show). |

It is not a Hot Wheels Bat, but a new casting Matchbox Skybusters Bat. When it gets released it will likely be on a larger scale to the HW one. |

THANKS DAVID!!! I've been waiting for an answer on that! But, John Lambert beat you too it, just earlier today in his first ever Ambassador report (Yah!) he mentioned there would be a Bat in the SkyBusters line. Thanks anyways!
