Spin Master Bat Cycles

A comparison of two versions of the same vehicle.

Spin Master released an awesome four inch Batman Batcycle set. Part of the Creature Chaos series in the Caped Crusader line, the set featured an exclusive Batman figure and a Clayface figure. There are still a few of these sets left in the wild at brick-and-mortar stores, many of which I’ve seen on clearance, so if you don’t have this set yet, take a chance at a few retailers before ordering it on the web.

I managed to find the Batman vs. Clayface set on clearance at a local Target and scooped it up. About one week later, I managed to snag Spin Master’s 2021 Target Exclusive release of the same bike featuring the Caped Crusader line’s original Joker and an exclusive Batman figure. I picked it up on sale. Both sets feature the same bike with a different paint scheme. Despite this, both bikes are worth picking up as they both look wonderful and the exclusive figures look great as well.

The standout figure in this set is the Batman that comes with Clayface. It features an amazing sculpt and Batman’s mask covers his entire face. The dark colors of the figure set him apart from the rest of Spin Master’s brightly colored line and the fully covered face adds a bit of sinister mystery to the figure and the line as a whole. A close second is the Target Exclusive Batman with a more traditional blue look with silver applications and a bright yellow utility belt.

The villains look wonderful as well. I was glad to see the traditional Joker figure in the Target set. I missed him in the original release. Clayface looks awesome and is the second largest figure in the line. Only Bane appears to be larger so far. Both villains are a great addition to anybody’s collection.

If there’s any drawback with these sets, it’s the fact that the claw accessories that are included are pretty lame. If you’ve read any of my other reviews of Spin Master toys, you know that I’m not a fan of most of the included accessories, but I realize that kids will probably love them. They’ll definitely love the bikes and adult collectors will fall for the figures.

Thanks for reading my brief review of both of these sets. The bikes are the exact same molds with different paint, but the figures are what make these sets worth picking up. Let me know what you think about these sets in the comments section!
