Now who's getting the 1/6th Batwing?

[emoji1309] Right here. One of twelve. I know, I know, I must be crazy right? But like the Joker said in The Dark Knight: Im not. No Im not...

I kind of want one given I already sprung for the Batmobile but I couldn't commit to that. A part of me will always regret it.

Do you know if this picture, the only one we know of a 1/6 89 Batwing really came from Hot Toys or was a fake?



I mean, you think that, at one moment, HT really considered to produce this awesome piece? Or it always been an arlesienne?... ( a holy grail that won?t ever see the light of day like the 66 Batmobile)

I don't know where that one came from, but if you really want a Batwing, now's your chance:

That's what ... around $130-$150 a month to pay off? I'm sure shipping will be a bear but even so...more troubling is the 3' x 3'.5" footprint...

 

[a-dev]

If Mezco made one for their figure I'd consider it. 1/6 is way out though. I was nuts to buy the Batmobile in that scale really.

 

[Ropen]

could you imagine if they pulled off The bat in 1/6? my biggest regret is the fact that we won?t see a 1966 batmobile and with the Batman Forever batman prototypes a Batman Forever Batmobile [emoji25].

That makes two of us.

It's cool but it sure is an awkward one.

Y'know these display cases many of you guys have for it, such as from sora shop - do they provide UV protection? I'm trying to assess if I can put my Batmobile somewhere other than my display room but anywhere else I might put it will probably catch direct sunlight.

Agreed. Budgetary restrictions aside, the only way I'd consider something that big would be if I had a man cave akin to Darth Dennis's, and then only if I had a place to hang it similar to how he has his Millennium Falcon.

Wow, did not know about that! Fantastic project! But wow 2 K... After I can completely understand that price because it is a very limited run, without nothing in common with any industrialization process of a classic factory. But 2K...
What a pity that HT did not produced it back to the other 89 releases. At 800-1000?, I could have been tempted but 2K...

But once again fantastic project!

 

[Cicada17]

I pay $100 per month. I do not have a collection room. I do have a six foot section of wall picked out to hang the Batwing vertically.

Wi;; make for a great display. I wish I could swing it. At least I have the Batmobile.

 

[bdhartma]

Add me to the list. Picked up a slightly scratched one from a local selling for below retail several years ago. Currently sitting in shield mode in my collection room, I should just take the cover off.

I'd do some very careful research regarding that. I know that plain glass at least blocks the majority of UVB, but not sure about UVA or any other wavelengths that would damage plastics, pain etc. over time. I imagine heat plays a role too. There are archival coatings applied to some plastics and glass for framing prints, but I have a vague memory of a framer telling me at one point that they could only do so much, i.e. if in the path of direct sunlight or whatever. I'm guessing that plain acrylic cases do nothing but block dust.

See...I actually have a large room I use as a studio that has plenty of room for the thing, but the non-geek part of me doesn't want to commit to that from an interior design perspective.

So tempting though...

Thanks ZE. So it might take damage in direct sunlight no matter what protection I pay for. I'll have another look to see if there's any wall that doesn't get blasted at some point during the day.
