Batcave – Shadow Box Reviews
The Brick Fan
“From the outside, you have have a shadowbox with the Batman emblem showing part of the Batcave but when you open it up, you have a more complete Batcave from Batman Returns. There’s even a Batmobile included in the middle. Hopefully it has the same details as in the movie... More where the sides are able to pop off to become the Batmissile.”
“Special features of the set include the ability to change the computer screen and open and close the tool store and illuminated (light brick) Batsuit vault. The Batmobile also has a roof that opens to accommodate a Batman minifigure and a cog that can be turned to unveil two... More blasters.”
