Ever since his modern cinematic debut in 1989’s Batman, the Caped Crusader’s one constant companion has been – no, not Robin the Boy Wonder – his iconic Batmobile! Part assault vehicle, part pursuit and rescue transport, part mobile crime lab and part the screen’s coolest looking car, the Batmobile has always been the most technologically advanced crime-fighting asset in Batman’s arsenal.
Like the Dark Knight himself, everybody has a favorite Batmobile and now all of the cars, from Tim Burton’s 1989 classic to the conclusion of Christopher Nolan’s trilogy in 2012, have been brought together in one comprehensive, fully illustrated, 72-page volume from Eaglemoss Hero Collector, designers, manufacturers and publishers of high-quality collectibles from across the many worlds of pop culture.
Written by Alan Cowsill, James Hill, and Richard Jackson – with original illustrations contributed by Ed Giddings and Mojo – Batmobile Cutaways: The Movie Vehicles 1989-2012is a one-of-a-kind visual reference guide featuring original cutaway artwork approved by Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment, as well as lavish illustrations and photos highlighting every vehicle from Batman (1989), Batman Returns (1992), Batman Forever (1995), Batman & Robin (1997), Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012).
What’s more, the book comes packaged with a 1/43 scale die-cast metal replica of the iconic Anton Furst designed Batmobile featured in 1989’s Batman. Now you can discover what lies inside this and many other machines with extraordinary cutaway art. Take a deep look under the hoods and behind the controls as weapons systems and construction secrets are revealed.

With a new series streaming on CBS All Access, as well as new adventures planned for favorite characters from across the generations, Star Trek has never been more fresh and exciting than it is right now – and that’s reflected in Eaglemoss Hero Collector’s many related offerings. Exclusives available from the Eaglemoss Shop include the U.S.S. Bonaventure NCC-1000, created by visual effects artist Aristomenis ‘Meni’ Tsirbas for the 2006 Ships of the Line calendar; the stunning V’ger Starshipas seen in the Director’s Cut of 1979’sStar Trek: The Motion Picture;and direct from the 25th century of Star Trek Online, the incredible Odyssey-class U.S.S Enterprise NCC-1701-F.

Shifting for a moment from Starfleet ships to Starfleet personnel, Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Chief Operations Officer, Lt. Data, joins Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and Lt. Commander Worf in Eaglemoss Hero Collector’s line of Star Trek Busts.
Hero Collector’s launch of the Battlestar Galactica: Official Ships Collection caused quite a commotion last year among fans of both the classic series as well as the 2004 reimagining. The latest additions to the line, available for individual purchase at the Eaglemoss Shop or as part of a subscription to the collection include the Viper Mk VII, considered the most sophisticated craft in the Colonial Fleet; the classic Battlestar Galactica itself from the original series; and her companion ship, the Battlestar Pegasus.
Of course, we can’t leave space without mentioning the novel and innovative Solar System Build-Up Collection that enables anyone from a budding astronomer to a future spaceship commander to construct their own scientific tools with which to deepen their understanding of the planets and moons in our Solar System. Available by subscription, sets of parts and informative magazines are delivered monthly and engage users in the construction of both a classic Orrery, a precision mechanical model that shows the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons, and an Orbiter, an accurate working model of the Earth, Moon and Sun system, designed to predict solar and lunar eclipses and demonstrate the rotation and orbits of the Earth and the Moon.
For fantasy of a different sort, there’s the addition of Rubeus Hagrid to Hero Collector’s WIZARDING WORLD FIGURINE COLLECTION. Recently launched on the Eaglemoss Shop, as well as via subscription, the officially authorized collection brings together iconic characters from the entire Wizarding World, including the HARRY POTTER™ and FANTASTIC BEASTS™ film franchises. Hagrid is no exception. Standing just over 6-inches tall at 1:16 scale, this half-giant, half-human Keeper of Keys and Grounds of Hogwarts is meticulously sculpted and cast in a specially formulated resin. Like all figurines in the collection, he also comes with a character guide, profiling his magical adventures and how he fits into the Wizarding World.
Finally, collectors and fans of the WWE are encouraged to keep an eye out for the debut of the WWE CHAMPIONSHIP COLLECTION, a comprehensive magazine and statue collection showcasing the greatest superstars in the history of the WWE and featuring Champions from every era, including Superstars The Rock, John Cena, The Undertaker, AJ Styles, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Triple H, Finn Bálorand many more.
