LEGO Brick and Caped Crusader fans unite! The LEGO Group has announced its latest release with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC, The LEGO DC BATMAN 1989 Batwing. Now we know where Bats gets some of those wonderful toys.
The LEGO 1989 Batwing is designed to be the one featured in the 1989 Tim Burton BATMAN film. The 2,363-piece set features a full interior, removable canopy and posable aerodynamic flaps. The kit is also loaded with Easter eggs to surprise fans like (spoiler alert) a screen that depicts the Joker’s gas balloons and a ‘Bat Engine’ label on the aircraft’s engine. The model is impressive in size, measuring over 4” high, 20” long and 22” wide once completed. The set also features a special brick that allows for the kit to mount and display on the wall for the full-on Bruce Wayne effect. Pair this with the LEGO DC BATMAN 1989 Batmobile to complete any fan’s collection.
LEGO Creative lead Jesper C. Nielsen said: The emblematic set truly takes fans on a journey as the immerse themselves into Gotham city and get hands-on with the set, using Batman, The Joker and Boombox goon mini-figures to relive their favorite moments from the film. Fans can even create the infamous scene when The Joker barges in on the Dark Knight and utters his classic words “have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?”.
LEGOÒ 1989 Batwing will be available for LEGO VIP members October 21st and for all other fans November 1st via LEGO.com and LEGO Stores.
