Total recall: I'm no safety expert, but one glance at the Batmobile's Rear Tail Wings of Death would've been enough to make me think the 20-inch toy might pose a hazard to children. But since Mattel didn't bother to check with me first, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a voluntary recall of all 314,000 units of the toy. Collectors, snatch them up while you can.
