1/6th-scaled BATMOBILE aka TUMBLER from The Dark Knight!
Seriously, what could be said about Hot Toy's Movie Masterpiece 1/6th-scaled BATMOBILE [www] aka The TUMBLER? [tagged] Ever since this beatie made it's official debut at the recent Tokyo Toy Show (circa June 19-22) - fans have been clamoring for further details, specifically it's price - becoz simply, tis ain't no toddler-toy - and from these released images, it is mofo-awesome looking, complete with opening cockpit and light-up functions (and no, the figure DOES NOT come with the vehicle LOL). Slated for a December-release, Blister.jp currently has it priced at 49,000YEN (US$460 / SGD$627). FYI: it is stated that this item is for sale only in Hong Kong and Japan.
*careful not to crumple his cape tho LOL - or perhaps it's removable?*
Special features include:
- Authentically detailed 1/6th scale model car
- Perfect scale to Hot Toys 1/6th scale Batman (the Original costume) collectible figure.
- Headlights light up function
- Cockpit/roof opening panel - slides up and down gives the 1/6th scale Batman access
- Movable breaking flaps
- Made of plastic
*an exta seat for Robin, perhaps? heh*
Measuring a whopping 73-centimeters in length, I'd like to say that this piece is so huge I may not have a space to store or display it, even IF I had the financial ability to procure it - but hell if you wanna give it to me for FREE? I. Will. Make. Space.

And here are some extra-pics to add to the flavour, from the recent Tokyo Toy Show (via OSCF):

hang on! this may be a stupid theory or it may be a fact well known for ages, but could the batpod be embedded in the batmobile? front wheels are the same... could be a neat trick, tumbler broken, peeling away/exploding and the 'pod folds out of the wreckage.
ReplyDeleteI'll hold the coffee now.
not stupid at all Kenn - pretty valid too, as I remeber vaguely reading about the theory somewhere on some phantom forum, and having that theory debunked ... but again, my senility is thy bane and i can't remember if this really happened or tis a figment of the imagination LOL
ReplyDeletethe "hidden batpod"-trick would be totally rawking tho! ... hhhmmm maybe we should have another look at the toys that came out - becoz if this be an actual trick, the toys would def not wanna miss out on this! LOL
I cried the first time I saw this, then I cried again when I saw big bad toy store's price to import to the US. boo hoo hoo
ReplyDelete1/6 is getting so expensive :\
I bought one anyway. Think of the value in a few years!
ReplyDeletePlastic or diecast? Though 1/6 scale is simply amazing ( I WILL MAKE SPACE FOR IT TOO!!), but if it's made of plastic instead of diecast, then it's a deal breaker for me.
