Toy-Review: Dream Tomica 'Tumbler' by Takara Tomy
Previously we had look at the Anton-Furst-designed Batmobile based on the 1989 Tim Burton film. Today we have a closer-look at the "Tumbler" ("Batmobile 4th", based on the Chris Nolan "Dark Knight" films!
Released in the "Dream Tomica" series by Takara Tomy, the model car is palm-sized, and somehow is not as "impressive" as it looks on the big screen (or even on the telly) as the imposing marauding "tank" of the Batmobile becomes a tiny peculiar-looking vehicle in-hand, IMHO.
The armor-plate details which made The Tumbler unique in a large-scaled format, somehow gets lost in a mess of plated panels on the scaled model car, with the edges not as crisp, given it's size … but of course I am just quibbling, it is after all a model toy car priced at SGD$15 each! LOL
If given a choice, I would pick the Anton-Furst gothic-noir style anytime! But as a representation of the Batmobiles of the Silver Screen, these are a decent pair indeed … and as well the only pair released hahaha
Nevertheless, I had a blast taking snaps of it, and you can view the individual pics HERE on my dedicated Facebook-album!
