Hot Toys 1/6 Tumbler/Batpod Batman

[intothevoid]

They look the same size to me

 

[Riko]

Must be the pic angles.. but just to confirm: jrice73 is the front tire of the Pod bigger than the front tire on the Tumbler!?

I do not know why you ask, but they should be the same, and based on those pictures they do seem identical in size...

Tumbler steering

Batpod n Batmobile

The Batpod tire is the same size as the Batmobile front tire.

 

[8899]

The Batpod is launch from the left side of the front wheel of the Batmobile, not from the centre like the Mattel Stealth Launch Batmoible.

Pic. showing the Batpod is launch from the left side of the front tire.

 

[lforigno]

yup the batpod was launched from the left side but if looked at closely you can see that the batpod used both front tires from the tumbler.

 

[nozzlewizard]

I thought it used both front wheels too

 

[Thrustmaster]

yep, the front-tires are the bat-pod:

it does. If you watch it in slow motion on the blu ray you will see that the rear wheel comes from the right front wheel of the tumbler and it even shows this on the special features about the batpod showing that it does indeed use both front tumbler wheels.

here you go. Start about 1:08 and it will show you

This must be how Batman Batman ejects from the Batmobile in the Batpod.

 

[Luis138]

Yeah, the Batpod is folded in half and when it ejects it unfolds and both of the Tumbler's front tires become the Batpod front and rear tire.

Yeah I figured it was just the angle of the pics that made the Pod's tire look slightly bigger than the Tumbler's in J's pics.

 

[jrice73]

nice, but your '89 Batwing is also kinda impressive! where did you get that kitt?

its the ertl kitt right?

That is a 1/24 scale (studio scale) fiberglass and resin kit of the '89 Batwing. It is nearly 20 inches long and over two and half feet in wingspan. It dwarfs the Ertl kit. It was pulled off the original prop from the film but that was years ago.

No, it is just angles of my crappy photo work. They are the same tires, exactly the same size.

 

[Devil_666]

Thanks jrice73. And your pics aren't crappy bro. They're fine. I meant the viewing angles, which can distort size in a static image.

 

[CristiMAN]

Where is this pic from?

 

[Centrocal]

lol am I the only one that laughed when it says 'Damage Catastrophic'? I just think its really funny the computer was programed to say that, like there is a specific percentage amount that registers as 'catastrophic' It'd be funny if it said 'Damage:Forget about it'

hey does anyone have te rc tyco tumbler or the 1:18 hot wheels tumbler for comlparision with the hot toys one?

[Minimodel]

For shipping purposes its listed as 28lbs.Thats 2 stone in my money so quite a hefty piece.

Hey Riko. Looks like Cinemaquette/Toynami may be doing one of these prefinished as they have one on display right now at SDCC. I'll have to get this because in no way are modelling skills good enough to pull off the finishing and painting on this kit.
