It was back in 1992 that Batman pursued the seductive but dangerous Catwoman in a hairy on-screen road chase in Batman Returns. Lego is finally introducing this complementary 92-piece model of Batman’s dragster and Catwoman’s motorcycle, complete with constructible minifigs of the masked hero and his feline foe. The swift-moving dragster has several cool features, including working rear tires, a rotating front axel, a missile launcher on the back, and a cockpit lid that opens and closes.

Catwoman’s motorcycle is a bit simpler but does have tires that spin well for the vehicle’s size and a prop for Catwoman’s whip. In addition, both of the minifigs have removable masks and moveable arms and legs. The two vehicles are easy builds that can be accomplished in under an hour. Because the construction is minimal, this model will have more appeal for collectors of either Lego or Batman memorabilia rather than those looking for a challenge. --Cristina Vaamonde
