A Hot Wheels 1:50th scale Batman themed vehicles resource for the collector.
This collection is a complete 1:50th scale collection of each Batman themed vehicle 1st release. There are 38 different and individually packaged vehicles and variants as of the 2022 releases for “The Batman” movie directed by Matt Reeve, staring Robert Pattinson. This collection also includes all of 4 the Exclusive 3-Pack sets as well as both of the Hot Wheels Elite One 1:50th scale vehicles.
Mattel obtained the rights to the manufacturing of Warner Bros products in 2003, which allowed the development of a wide range of toys such as action figures or vehicles, including the die cast, which are produced in various scales. In 2007 the 1:50th scale collection was officially launched.
The Series 1, 2 & 3 releases were all tall blister cards. With Series 4, 2011 release, Mattel switched packaging to a short blister card and color. In 2015, Mattel makes yet another color change to the blister card with the Series 5 release.
It has taken me 3 years to hunt down, locate and purchase all the vehicles in this collection. I have noted those vehicles that are hard to find as well as vehicles that are variants to the 1st release.

It was only by pure luck that a fellow collector in a Facebook group saw a post I made searching for this vehicle and willing to pay top dollar that I found it. That kind collector gifted me this vehicle so I could finish my collection.

Clam Shell recommendation for premium line
The only protective case I can find that will hold this premium line with large blisters on the blister card are by a company called Toy Shield out of Broken Arrow Oklahoma.
The Deluxe Hot Wheels [HW1] is a large clam shell that will encase the vehicle and cost about $2.00 a shell.
(note – due to shipping issues as of 2021, these are on back order)
