1/6 Batman 1989: Batmobile Collectible Vehicle - Specs & Pics

[vodoun]

I'll never sell mine.

Even if I wanted to, the shipping would be a nightmare. It was fun and exciting unboxing it and dismantling the screws and such, but packing it back up? Forget that. Besides, years from now I bet this is a crazy sought after item. The prices for the Kenner '89 Batmobiles are ridiculous now. For awhile, the demand and prices for the Hot Wheels versions were insane too (until Hot Wheels kept rereleasing them). People love them there Batmobiles.

We'll never see something like this again, especially after how difficult it was for Hot Toys to manufacture and ship. With the price increases for petroleum and plastic, this will be one of those items that people will look back on and think, "man, they actually made that?".

Totally agree with you mate, i can pass the bat but not the batwing.

It would be just about doable in 1/6 wouldn't it?

I don't think HT will make a 1/6 Batwing. According to the Batman wikia, the wingspan is 35 feet, which translates into 70 inches (nearly 6 feet) in the 1/6 scale.

Wow.

Did Kenner make a Batwing? Would love this vehicle in any form.

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, Kenner made one. In TDKC and Returns packaging.

So I am really considering getting one of these bad boys. Just sold a few figures so I have the money... Anyone have any opinions on the scratch and dents from BBTS? $200 less than original retail, I think I can deal with whatever I get! And shipping to me is less than $100, so I'm looking at a tony bit over $500 for one of these...

Finaly i painted my wheels a second time ( yeah i know i'm mad! ) The sides of tires to be exact. In fact if you look at the proto the tire is made of one piece:





But on the final product they made the tire in two parts. The tire is in gum but the side is made of plastic hard and is shinier than the rest of the tire:



So i used the Tamiya TS- 82 ( rubber mat black) to find back a gum effect:

I've only seen this once since the day it arrived from ssc. It's in storage

Could this be hung from a wall without damaging it? Serious question, I don't know where else I could display such a thing. But there is a space on the wall where it would look brilliant.

 

[DiFabio]

Someone did it and it worked. I'll try and find the post.

The thing comes mounted on a board that you have to unscrew yourself, so there are holes in it already for it to be mounted.

Thanks for the pics, Rondesmo, and great work! Dang, that is one sexy-lookin' beast.

Could never do that, would constantly be paranoid it would fall.

No Way could display that way, Would drive me up the WALL! Buy a correct size shelf. That pic of car between the door does give correct impression of the size of this beauty.

I think I've reached my Vertical Limit with the jokes around this place, y'know that?
