Review: LEGO 70905 The Batmobile


Name:  The Batmobile
Set Number: 70905
Pieces: 581
Price: $59.99
Minifigures: 5
Theme: Lego Batman
Year of Release: 2016


   The new Batmobile is a must get if you want to start collecting sets from the new Lego Batman Movie.This Batmobile is unique to all other Batmobiles ever. Like the Joker's Lowrider, it was also released early on November 25 just like the Joker's Lowrider. It took me about 40 minutes to complete this build and I started by making the minifigures.
   The first minifigure i built was Batman. He is highly detailed from head to toe and comes with a cape, helmet, and a utility belt. Batman also comes with two faces, one disappointed and with a snarled look. The next minifigure I built was robin. His hair piece is unique in that fact that it attached to the  glasses as well. His head has eyes on it, but the glasses cover them. Robin comes with his hair/glasses piece, a merch-gun, and a cape. This Robin is the most unique Robin created and makes it an awesome collection piece. The next minifigure I built was Man-Bat. He only comes with a head-piece and two faces, one intimidating and one scared. The last minifigures I built were the Kabuki Twins. They are both identical. Each of them comes with a pair of claws. Overall, the minifigures are great and you get two of the main characters in the upcoming Batman movie.Next, I moved onto the Batmobile.


   The Batmobile is the most unique looking Batmobile and has the most features of them all. Its features include a cockpit for 2, pop-off roof, multi-directional wheels, two stud shooters, and posable bat wings on the back. The look takes a little bit to get used too, but its play features are through the roof. There are a few stickers that if placed on the vehicle un-aligned, make the vehicle look wonky. You can make the wheels turn in any direction you need to maximize play function. I may have built some of the wheels incorrectly, but the spacing between the wheels and the joints are a little off and I am going to look into who to correct the wheels. 

The set as a whole is pretty good. The pricing of the set is also good for one vehicle and 5 minifigures. The set is visually apealing when displayed and is fun to play with. I just wish the Kabuki twins had one difference to them and that the wheels on the Batmobile were even. This set along with the Joker's Lowrider make a perfect pair and are perfect to have together. I would rate this set 4.5/5.I hope this review was helpful to all who read it and that you continue to love LEGOS!
