Fisher-Price Imaginext DC Super Friends The Batmobile

Comment: We just bought this car for my son's 5th birthday. After reading the reviews, I was skeptical, but decided to give it a shot. My son was very excited about it, we opened it up. As many reviews said, it made the engine noise, but didn't move at all. Since I had read the reviews, I decided to open it up, like someone mentioned there was a "kill switch". Everything was fine when I opened it up, and it still didn't work. Then I decided to put in new batteries... and it worked! Wish I had tried that first, but most have mentioned after they changed the batteries, still didn't work :) My boys, 5 & 3 1/2 had a great time playing with it. It's definitely a fun toy. I definitely recomment it, however try the batteries first :)

Comment: I saw this at TRU and decided to get it on Amazon to save a few bucks. Love the design, characters and Batman! Too bad the main feature of the car does not work. The motor does not activate. Called Fisher-Price and they said to change the batteries. Tried that and it still did not work. Shipping back to Amazon today. I would wait till they fix this problem. The funny thing is that if you go on Amazon or TRU there are comments about this problem everywhere and at Fisher-Price they siad they have not gotten any calls on this problem. Hmmmmm....

Comment: I purchased this toy and it only worked during the first day. Afterwards, it only have engin sound and light but the car wouldn't move at all.

Comment: My son got this toy for his fourth birthday this week and yesterday we started having the same problems reported by others: when you turned the key the toy would make a short motor sound and blink the lights under the dashboard twice, but then it wouldn't start rolling. I figured it was the batteries that came with the toy and replaced them, to no avail. At that point I decided to open the toy to see if I could figure out what the problem was.

After just a few minutes I figured it out. Under the hood, there is a "kill switch" that's activated by the front wheels, so that the toy won't start if it's not on the ground with the front wheels pushed up. Great idea in theory, but it apparently came loose while my son had been playing with it. I reseated it and reattached the body of the toy and it works like a charm again.

Which is great because my son absolutely loves this toy. Now that I know how to maintain it, I expect he'll be enjoying it for a long time to come.

Comment: My 3 year old loves Batman toys and this was his forst choice for Christmas. The car is very durable and has survived multiple drops off the table and crashes into walls without a problem. He loves to race it against his older brothers and even they like to play with it. The simple large turn-key to operate it makes it very easy for him to play with it and makes it one of those toys he can play with without having to ask mom or dad for help to work it. Great car for a little guy!
