NOTE: This is a modified reissue of an existing model, and this review will focus on the changes made between the cars. You can see the original review for more details.

Background

Thanks to the various manufacturing and supply issues causing trouble all around the world, Spin Master's "regular" Monster Jam Batman ended up not hitting shelves until months after the redeco.

 

Packaging

This being a standard release of a single truck, it is packaged in a plastic shell very much like what a href="hot-wheels-monster-jam-batman-2017.php">Mattel had been using: 8" (20.5cm) x 5¼" (13.5cm) x 5½" (14cm) with tapered sides and bulges to capture the four monster tires, a folded cardboard base, and a slip-in cardboard backdrop. The base has the Monster Jam, Batman logo, corporate branding, and age restriction across the front, while the top and both ends are printed with a muddy track covered in tire marks. The bottom has the requisite legal info, and the back panel has an image of an arena behind the truck and the remaining legal-ese plus co-sells for Soldier Fortune Black Ops, Son of Digger, and Aftershock. Removing the truck is a simple matter of cutting the three pieces of tape holding the bottom flap in place, and it can be replaced easily for storage or display.

 

Casting/Paint

There is only one casting difference to note, and that is the engine now being made of black plastic rather than gray. There is also a tiny dimple in the forward intake, but it is so small and perfectly centered that it is hard to know for sure if it is a casting error, the previous truck was the error by not having it, or it was a running change.

Otherwise, paint is the only difference. The base colors are all the same, but this lacks the myriad graffiti seen on the "Street Justice" release. Also, though the tires are identical to what we saw before, they now have "BKT" printed on their sidewalls at 90° from the molded lettering.

 

Features/Accessories

This package contains only the 1/24 scale truck.

 

Accuracy

Arguably the clean paint job looks more correct when compared to the previous Mattel Batmobiles.

 

Overall

I'm glad to finally see the standard release: it's a cool design, it fits in well with previous releases, and without the 1/64 scale pack-ins it's less than half the price. Just all wins across the board here.
