[REVIEW] Batman v Superman Batmobile (Decool 7117)

Greetings! It's review time once again, and today we'll have Decool's 7117. But obviously it's a carbon copy of LEGO's 76045 "Kryptonite Interception" which is of course based from the Batmobile that appeared in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Of course as a die hard fan of the Batman you must own one of these. And since the original one is so f'n expensive (and really OP), I can only afford Decool's version. I know it's a fake but I think it's a "good fake". I've built some other third party LEGO like stuff before and they were all nice. There are so many third party brands out there, but if you're planning to buy one, buy one from Decool.

Now here's the box, it's sort of almost the same with the original one but this one I think is more square-ish. And of course the BvS logo is not around and the model number (?) is 7117 instead of 76045 since Decool has it's own line of minifigure sets.

Here's the manual, nothing much to see because I think it's quite close to the original one. I think it's kinda smaller than the real one.

7115 is something to own bro.

As I mentioned earlier, Decool has their own set of numberings with their minifigures. And they're not shy to show off some of their previous and up coming products.

"Maintain world peace, Fight for justice." That's one hell of a heroic sentence.

I guess we'll be seeing more stuff from them.

Now we have the stickers. Somehow I already built this one back in September and I just found this sticker sheet when I checked out the box again to review this. So we have stickers for the interior of the Batmobile, this "Super Speed" which was supposed to be LexCorp. I wish Decool just made it LexCorp, but I guess they might get sued. I wasn't really interested to put the Bat-logo on the Batmobile because it looks kinda lame, so I just attached it on my phone case.

"Tell me, do you build?" 

Let's move on to the minifigures! I'm really excited about the this Batfleck minifigure. No new features so far but that's a really cool looking detail on the torso.

"You will!" 

It's really nice that LEGO is already doing dual faces on it's minifigures, it's a really cool feature. A good way to show that some of these minifigs have emotions. And first we have the normal serious face, and now we have this angry I'm-not-gonna-kill-you-but-I-will-break-your-bones face.

And a lego batman head is not complete with the white headband.

Amazing detail on the back.

"NANANANANANANANANA, ME!"

Let's move on now to the other minifigures in this set, the two Super Spee- I mean Lex Corp henchmen. The other guy is armed with a stud shooter while the other guy is not really armed. Well, he has two of the three kryptonite containers.

And these guys also have alternate faces. And it's nice that they really work at Lex Corp this time.

We have now the second vehicle on this set. The forklift.

It does have some little features like a stud shooter on the side.

And this fork-lift action.

And this one. I'm not sure how it goes but I guess Batman is suppoed to jump off the batmobile and jump on the back side to get rid of the henchman.

Oh, and Batman has a new silver-ish colored batarang.

And finally, we have the main attraction of the set, the Batmobile.

I must say this Batmobile is really in scale with the minifigure. The original Tumbler (7888-1) was not that much scaled with the minifigure in my opinion.

For me, this is a really nice take on the Batmobile. LEGO (I'll compliment LEGO since they originally designed this one) did a really great job on choosing the colors to use. Which is somehow my small gripe about it. The Batmobile from the movie wasn't really totally black, it's more of gray or dark gray. I wish LEGO made it more accurate by giving it a dark gray or gray color. But somehow seeing this one in Black seems perfect.

And I really like it that LEGO  made a new piece just for the Batmobile (and for the Batplane too I think).

There's nothing much to see inside of this Batmobile, just some side buttons and gauges but no steering wheel.

Here's Batfleck inside of his own Batmobile.

Just like all other LEGO vehicles, Batman is laying down inside his Batmobile. I find it really awkward though. I remember I have the bootleg version of the Batmobile from the 6864 set and Batman can sit down inside of the Batmobile which is better looking. I hope LEGO won't be lazy enough and have this minifigure laying down again because if this car didn't have any wheels, it'll look like the minifigure is inside a coffin.

Anyway enough of the gripes, let's check out some of the details on this bad-ass looking Batmobile.

Nothing much on the rear.

This is one of my favorite innovations from LEGO, the stud shooters.

"You missed!"

The stud shooters are so cool, I have to show you guys how it looks like.

Weeeeee~ 

The Batmobile runs really smoothly when you play around with it.

"My turn!" 

"I finally spotted those Lex Corp boys handling the kryptonite, time to charge in"

CRASSHHH

"Go away, Batfreak!"

"Easy enough"

"Vroooooom~"

Cons

• The overall color of the Batmobile should've been gray, or dark gray. (But it's okay)
• Who lays down while driving?

Pros

• Nice detail
• In-scale with the minifigure
• New pieces just for the sake of this Batmobile
• Nice details on the minifigures
• The playable options are really nice. (Good for your young lads)
• STUD SHOOTERS FTW!!!
