Yeah. And how do the sides come off - there's no obvious seams denoting that they can detach.Definitely a cool design, and a very silly scene.
The one thing that always bugged me was how implausible the shortening of the Batmobile interior is. What happened to the second seat? We don't see it eject from the vehicle at all. It just kinda disappears. How did the dashboard shorten in length and what happened to the rest of it? There's more but you get the idea
My only complaint is that it needs more of a glossy finish.
I’ve built the model scale version of this and to be honest there’s no real point of reference, the robot car is semi gloss and the actual prop used is gloss black
That recent rumour list is looking more and more plausible.
Yeah it’s movie magic either way - the vehicle is clearly still wider than the width of one tire so either 4 more wheels magically appeared or the wheels magically got twice as wide.
Lol well there would be no need for it to have 4 extra hidden wheels to make for 8; the idea behind the design was that it’s 4 wheels in line because that’s where they end up when it gets skinny.
Agreed. Love everything JazzInc is doing but I cannot get over those prices; $540 for a Catwoman that would be a $285 Hot Toys figure if they bothered to make her. I bet they’d make a mean Batmissile but who needs a $1,600 rendition of something that appears for 15 seconds in one film.
HT has made the front mechanism such that it extends higher than the Missile's wheel well, so sliding out in the correct direction isn't possible as currently designed. Of course this could be easily fixed if HT cared about film accuracy, but you know they just don't lol...
Yeah the wheels with the batsymbol should be the ones that extend outward. Oddly it's correct on the right side of the vehicle but incorrect on the left. Unless all of the wheels are capable of extending but they're only showing the front-most wheel in each pair as having the ability.
Yeah it’s more an extra display option to pair with the « regular » Batmobile. In that sense, contrary to the regular that gets visible inaccuracies, the bat missile from HT looks pretty flawless.
Yeah I guess when they put twice as many wheels on the car as it actually has it makes sense that they'd get half of them correct.
I whipped up a little crude animation for how the wheels 'worked' in the movie versus how I think they work on the Hot Toy. I say 'worked' in the movie because - while this isn't totally to scale - you can see how impossibly wide the tires would have to be for it to really only be four tires. It's all movie magic.
