MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
1989 Batmobile (Hardnoze) — C2707
Gray flames over a matte-black body define the debut Hardnoze Batmobile release. The exaggerated front end is easy to recognize, but the flame decoration and C2707 code are what pin down the exact 2004 variation.

The debut Hardnoze Batmobile
C2707 introduced the stylized Hardnoze version of the 1989 Batmobile in the 2004 First Editions lineup. Later releases changed the color, window tint and decoration, so the gray-flame debut remains visually distinct.

This release and its companions
Choosing one for your collection
Inspect the gray flame printing across the top and sides, especially at raised edges where rubs can remove fine detail. Check the oversized nose and front wheel area for chips and axle alignment.
A dark Hardnoze Batmobile is not automatically C2707. Compare the flame graphics, black windows and package identification before assigning the release.
Collector questions
What separates C2707 from the later black DFK70?
C2707 has gray flames and black windows. DFK70 is a cleaner black release with no flame decoration and yellow-tint windows.
