  1. Magnus

    What is up with all that SNOTed studs out business? That will take some getting used to, but of course is very conducive to climbing up walls type action.

  2. Chris Post author

    Magnus: While I generally agree that the studs-out design doesn’t look that great, I think it works here precisely because, as you say, it’s great for wall-climbing. “Climbing” up fake walls was such an iconic part of the show, I think this plays homage to that rather nicely. Personally, I’m just excited about those wallpaper bricks!

  3. Creative Anarchy

    I really want to dislike this set. I don’t like campy batman but they knocked it out of the park with the nostalgia of the original show.

  4. Mnemonyx

    Stud shooters on the Batmobile and flick fire missiles on the Batcopter seem a bit out of character for the original series, so I had my doubts about this set to start with, but who couldn’t love a set that “Also includes a cat.”?
