LEGO 76161 - 1989 Batman Batwing - Ultimate Collector Series

Product Information

As well as the surface details, we start work on the interior of the cockpit, with these two sloped bricks that are promptly stickered.

Both products are designed and manufactured by us (iDisplayit) in the UK, using high-quality acrylic. Expect them to get it right, even though you don't trust them enough to pick the right type/length of fastener. I spent about a year of my God given time on this earth putting this set together, nailing and screwing on multiple copies on random walls, and tested every bit of it over and over again to make sure it does what I decided it needs to do.Last year, we saw the Batmobile from that movie leap into large scale LEGO® form, and this year, we see another Batvehicle make the transformation: 76161 1989 Batwing. These conspicuous fins contrast with smoother bodywork along the centre of the Batwing, ensuring that they stand out.

If you’re serious about BATMAN, comic book super heroes or making cool models, this LEGO DC BATMAN 1989 Batwing is for you! The cockpit canopy is a reasonable attempt using existing parts, but it really fails to capture the swooping curves of the original. This metallic silver design corresponds with the classic symbol from the 1989 Batman movie, although no engine detailing is hidden beneath this cover. The seat comprises hinges and slopes to create its bucket shape while the surrounding control consoles feature numerous stickers. There are lots of horizontal hinges, in black and dark stone grey, as well as curved slopes – 1 plates thick.

Overall if you're a Batman fan in general, you're probably going to pick up the new LEGO DC 1989 Batwing (76161). As of today, 76139 1989 Batmobile is the most valuable Batman 1989 set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of 338 €. Hopefully there won't also be a trip to the hospital, or something irreplaceable going into the trash because of what the model lands on. This is a great way to display the Batwing on a wall, especially if you don't have a lot of shelf space. But the whole "oh no the internals are colorful but thank God they're all covered up" spiel I see everywhere is getting really old.

The Batwing was only given a couple of minutes of screen time in Tim Burton’s BATMAN (1989), but it was key to a number of iconic images from that film. The most important aspect of the Batwing is the silhouette, and in this step, we start to get these shapes happening.Several stickers are also included, focusing primarily upon the cockpit controls which display some wonderful details. The keyhole slot is angled towards the bottom, has vertical sides in the middle, and a semicircle at the top. Curved slopes are then distributed along the leading and trailing edges of each wing and fitted using brackets.

Light My Bricks products contain small parts and batteries that may represent a choking hazard for small children. But in terms of the actual Batwing design, we never see any evidence of flaps, ailerons, rudders, elevators, or any other means of controlling the plane besides basic thrust. The LEGO DC Batman 1989 Batwing measures 11 cm high, 52 cm long and 58 cm wide and also impresses as a spectacular showpiece on his stand or on a wall. This clothing has no association with the Batwing but has been depicted beautifully here, featuring an appropriate top hat along with a matching jacket.The flower on his lapel and fabric tails both look marvellous but the bow tie should have included white spots.

The building technique of sandwiching an interlinked grid of Technic bricks between plates is pretty common in large sturdy vehicles like landships, spaceships, and boats, but I think this is the largest Technic brick sandwich ever (for an official set).
