I say this now, but I'm sure it'll change in time....I think I'm ok enough with the HT Tumbler. Slightly undersized but gets the point across.

Surprised he's tackling the Tumbler. Besides the HT version being slightly undersized, is the overall detailing that off like their 89?
He doesn’t know yet, asking for any and all reference currently. The current rendering might be fan made so there’s a chance he scraps that and remakes the rendering more accurately.
The panels would have to be die-cast to make this worthwhile for anyone, the interior isn’t enough to warrant $1.5k.
I think an automatic canopy for this will be necessary. This needs to really wow us.

So this one will feature a screen-accurate functional launching Batpod, which is totally *not a physically impossible feet of engineering? 
*Kidding, in case not obvious to some.
This especially with the smaller display footprint than the 66 or 89, is going to be frighteningly tempting.

There's a ton of detail the HT doesn't have, but most are hidden in the gaps and panels of the vehicle. Most of the more visible missing detail is around the front wheels.
But will this actually be $1500 if there are diecast panels? Thing would be insanely heavy. Hoping the wheel mechanisms will be metal at least.

That’s his typical price point for vehicles.
The die-cast ‘66 Batcycle and sidecar are up for $1.4K. This will definitely be in that range.

That is significantly smaller and less complicated though.
Yes but he knows his audience, this ain’t selling like ‘89. With the Tumbler design, the HT inaccuracies aren’t as apparent as the ‘89. He won’t price this above all of his other vehicles if he has intentions on moving units.
All in all, I’m glad this is the next vehicle to be chosen. I don’t want to wait a year plus for the Batman & Robin Batmobile to go through production before we see anything on this, this will sell better.
Current poll in the FB group including estimated price:
Have to say, I like the Tumbler, but I'm not that much of a TDK fan. This will definitely have a market, though.
Trying to remember if I ''went off'' the Tumbler as a design or if I just stopped liking the Hot Toys version of it.....

Held off the Hot Toys in anticipation of Jazz tackling these. A Batman & Camo tumbler, let's hope these aren't ready to ship till 2026 I need a break 
I will say the HT Tumbler never looked quite as cool to me as the vehicle did on screen (probably because of how overly plastic it looked), so I'll be curious to see if Joost can come any closer.
The Tumbler canopy is rather complex compared to other batmobile canopies. Trying to make it automatic IMO probably isn't worth Joost's time nor our money. However making it sturdier (and the mechanism smoother & easier to operate) than HT's flimsy design should definitely be a goal. But I agree this will need to wow to convince me to spend $1.5K. I bought the HT Tumbler new for @$425 back in 2012 and with the exception of one side flap & one top spoiler I've had to repair it's still in remarkably good shape, but I do get the sense that more of those delicate spoiler cylinders will break if I stare at them for too long lol.
