Its linear dimensions in flight mode are approximate estimates, coming over at an imposing 5” high, 12” long and 18” wide.

Of course, no worthy LEGO Batman Movie set would be complete without minifigures. This set boasts three iconic characters – Batman™ himself, his faithful sidekick Robin™, and the devious Harley Quinn™ equipped with 6-stud rapid shooter cannon.

The minifigures present in fabulous detail; they bear weapons and accessory elements embodying character traits. From Batman’s versatile batarang to Harley’s notorious hammer, each accessory serves as a charming reminder of their original comic book counterparts.

A Mini-Car and More

This carefully engineered set also includes a delightful mini-car stored within the opening rear compartment of Batwing: it mirrors the film’s surprise element in endearing plastic form.
