Hot Toys - Batman Returns 1/6th scale Batmissile Collectible Vehicle

Budo17 · Nov 14, 2024

I do like that Hot toys is doing this. And as I recall jazzinc did a fb poll few weeks back where this was pretty low on the list and even got comments that it looks silly and all that. Though now I read that they are interested? Still I’d go for the hot toys batmissile since I have the jazzinc 89 smoke machine on pre order

Which leaves me wondering, since a few here mentioned the price is steep for a hot toy, agreed, but are also willing to pay double Joost would charge for this "if" released.

I’m ordering the hot toys version, it looks nice and I always enjoyed the goofiness of this scene. Plus it just looks like some weird almost steampunk vehicle. And I’m not too fussed about any realistic changing from Batmobile to this. It uses same movie logic as Nolan’s batpod turning wheels

That's another head scratcher for me, the batpod was folded like a U in the Tumbler the entire time, lol.

I’m waiting for the inevitable HT ‘89 Batmobile 3.0 that splits open to reveal the Batmissile!

I'm appreciating the paintwork they've done here that was totally absent on their Batmobile. The grime, weathering, etc won't be to everyone's liking but to me it makes the whole thing look more metallic and high-end. I think the Returns 2.0 figure is looking real sharp here, as well.

Kenner did it in 1992 but there were a lot of trade-offs! This was my one and only Batmobile as a kid.

I wish I had the nerve to cut up a HT Batmobile for the parts to attach to this new Batmissile.

There was a time, long ago, that I would have been carefree enough to gleefully tackle such a project. Surely someone here will be foolish enough to attempt it.

I will likely get one of these HT Batmissiles but I’m more interested in a Jazzinc version down the line.

I actually like the HT rendition better than that real prop. It maintains the Batmobile details with less random changes/adjustments. The front part of the missile pod, from the top of the body to the top part of the wheel as thick as the real Batmissile, where did that extra height come from on the real thing - makes it look like a submarine. Did the rims magically get smaller on the real Batmissile? How did the canopy air scoop get that tall given the shorter height of the Batmobile canopy scoop.

It's weird to me how much they decided to reshape that central portion. If you fling off the side pieces it already should be narrow enough to fit through the alley. But I guess they felt they needed more going on visually with more transforming parts.

Yeah, I don’t think I ever really realized that until later. As a kid I always just thought it lost the two side sections to go through the alley.

Didn’t realize the middle section further transformed. It’s kind of a cool idea but also makes no sense, but hey it’s a fictional comic book movie.

So sick they’re finally making the Batmissle, however, not accurate at all. The shock absorbers should be on the front and second to last on the rear. I saw the real one they used for the film down in Florida.

Truthfully if it took Jazzinc for them to make some of this stuff I don’t mind. I’ve been back and forth on the Jazzinc Catwoman figures and while they’re nice I think they’re too expensive for me to justify. If Hot Toys does her and Penguin they’ll likely be less.

There are pros and cons to Hot Toys figures, but ultimately I know what to expect from them and their price points generally work better for me.

Spanbauer said:
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.

Yeah, this is where I am mentally right now.
Jazzincs stuff is beautiful but simply too expensive.
I do hope HT finally go ahead and make them.

They are, for that side of the vehicle.

“Well now I’m a little worried”

Lolololol

Hey has nobody asked the obvious question how TF is Batman supposed to fit because he barely can in the full sized one hahaha

Adama · Nov 15, 2024

Whoa, OneSixthKit's pricing for the Batmissile seems slightly excessive.

Rondesmo · Nov 15, 2024

Ouch…

… Slightly yeah…

I have always loved the design of this, as silly as it is. Someone earlier mentioned that they always see a train when they look at it, and I'm the same...it's a weird, sort-of steampunky train that also looks like the 89 Batmobile and I love it lol

I was going to back the Haslab 1/12 Ecto/Ecto 1-A that is currently being funded, but after tax and shipping that car will be $464...I'm thinking I might just take that cash and throw it at this, instead. Choices, choices...on the one hand, a 1/12 scale usb-powered Ecto, and on the other a 1/6 usb-powered Batmissile lol Neither have been made before, perhaps neither will be made again.

What a time to be alive and to have such choices!

The msrp for this is $500

For USA folks it'd be cheaper to just get it from sideshow after tax and shipping.

It’s a dumb ass batmobile that should never serve as anyone’s only Batmobile.

If you own all the Batmobile then this is a nice addition I guess if you have the additional funds but a half Batmobile will never be cooler than a full Batmobile.
