Thank you for the review Jay. We will look forward to see reviews from folks with the gloss version to see if it fits more flush. Since with our own examples. The Gloss version does sit better than the Matte version which at the moment still baffles us as to why it is the case.

Nice review and cool upgrade. My theory on why McFarland made the canopy the way he did is so you could see the figure inside the vehicle. I've seen some upgrades for turning the 1 seater into a 2 seater, but I think you would need a smaller Batman for it.

Can’t wait! Getting two sets for both versions. This and the Two Seater set I have will be lit 🔥 . Great price for sure. I think I honestly prefer the glossy one since I don’t have to worry about it scratching up like the Matte one. Especially when messing around putting figures in. And some pics of the 89 Batmobile kind of have that look .

When I got a suggestion from Amazon to get this Batmobile in December, it was an immediate purchase. Then my immediate next stop was to Ramen Toys to get the GAG set. It really makes the 89 Batmobile look so much better. Happy to see that they will be shipping soon and you shared the end result. Even if there is a little canopy lift, I would rather have that than the derpy canopy it came with. I am hoping that he considers doing the 2 seater conversion. But understands if he doesn’t. I am so grateful that this is an option

The gloss set fits better than the matte set for some reason which we surmise there is a slight deformation of the Matte Batmobile compared to the Gloss Version. Deformation means very slight microns of difference with the injection process by Mcfarlane. The Gloss and Matte Mcfarlanes were done in 2 batches while the CAG is done in 1 production.

As the guy that broke open GapGate 2024, did you ever go back to loose some screws to see if it ever fixed the gap issue? I just saw an older Ramen video and it seem to sit flush when assembled for the matte. It was in one of the videos where they had just an unpainted prototype and was demonstrating how they had refined the gap in the new mold.

Does ramen toys usually address issues like this engineering tolerance issue? I’m tempted to buy and do the upgrade. I wonder if Ramen is able to strike a deal with McFarlane and make it an official upgrade they might be willing to help them figure out why this is happening, and even help distribute or even promote the upgrade. If McFarlane isn’t too proud to admit they made a boo-boo design wise.

@RAMENTOY3 ай бұрын
Actually the screws have to be tight in order for the spring to pop out the canopy with the push of the button. But indeed if the screws are not tighten too tight, it could very well be the solution - although ourselves have not tested it. During our development process, we wanted to ensure that the function of the button popping out works. Also, the gloss set fits better than the matte set for some reason which we surmise there is a slight deformation of the Matte Batmobile compared to the Gloss Version. Deformation means very slight microns of difference with the injection process by Mcfarlane. The Gloss and Matte Mcfarlanes were done in 2 batches while the CAG is done in 1 production.

Second,and please dont think im throwing off on ramen,he steped up and did a good job.but....but...he could have went a bit further and made the front slope back of the canopy accurate.
