Review: The Batmobile (Lepin 07045)

Heyooo. Today I wanna review The Batmobile - Lepin 07045, copy of Lego 70905.
Got it for 33.99$ from AliExpress. I have to say packing was good and no details were damaged as well there were no missing pieces.

Don't forget that you can zoom pics by clicking on them.


I noticed that packets were numbered (never paid attention before, maybe that's new Lepin feature). This set had 16 packets, though it's not an assembling sequence, just the feature to check quantity, convenient for both sellers and buyers.
Assembly was easy (after sorting of course).
Don't pay attention to sets on the right, they are not related to this one, I'm just running out of shelf space. Btw green platform is not included as well.

In assembled state Batmobile can change wheels positions from lowrider to highrider.


The technic parts that are responsible for tansformation work very well. Nothing's loose which is perfect. Though wheels assembly process is very repetitive.


There are a lot of stickers in this set. Luckily seller stickered them into instruction which is smart. Cause usually stickers arrive in bad shape, but not this time.


There's a catapult here, sorta. When you rotate it cabin glass jumps off. Not my favourite part. Wheels are good and work fine as well.


The only problematic parts were those bat wings on the rear. One of cylinder's hole (that holds 1 of the wings) is little offset, so wings have different positions. And one of them is more loose than another. Not a big issue for me.


Minifigures. Lepin has improved minifigures comparing to previous sets I've ordered. Printing quality has increased, though still not as good as Lego. Capes are made of some sort thin material, not very durable.

Original Lego Robin's arms are half molded, means it's 2 colored mold, Lepin just uses 1 colored mold and paints it. New technology to develop, Lepin.

Man-Bat is cool and rare by the way. I doubt there are any sold separately or in minifigures' sets.


Now to the issues. It's about Kabuki twins, which are twins too when it comes to deffects. Their right arms don't have enough space to fit hands in so hands just hang out and are loose.


I need to cut the hand and glue them into arm, so it will look better, but won't be moving. Oh, or get Pogo Kabuki twins.


In general I'm very pleased with this set, Batmobile is solid and technic parts work well. I'm glad Lepin is improving minifigures and printing too. But they have to work on transparent parts to make them more clear.


Thanks for reading!
