Moebius The Dark Knight: Batpod 1:25 Scale Model Kit

 (2 customer reviews)

Got this for Christmas, hoping to re-energize some model kit building. First off, THIS IS A MODEL KIT. This is NOT a toy! Almost every kit on Amazon, be it car, plane, figure, etc, somebody's upset that it requires paint, glue, and assembly.

That being said, this is still a precarious kit, especially at this scale. Most model bikes are around 1/12, this is the standard car scale of 1/25. The front and back tires are made of rubber, and heavy, and are very precariously held together by very tiny styrene rods.

Do not buy this product. It is made up of cheap plastic parts. The product description says "some assembly required" which is misleading. You have to do everything from the scratch. Manufacturer should understand that customers do not work in toy factory. The assembly is not that simple. You need to have a glue and a paint which is not included. They should mention this in product description. I was totally disappointed when I opened the box. I did not dare to take out parts from plastic cover, kept everything back and decided to return it.
Though I did not assemble it, I'm pretty sure the picture shown as a product is not what you will get as an end result.
I felt cheated and I'm not going to buy anything from this manufacturer again.
