Hot Toys 1/6 Tumbler/Batpod Batman

[Batman29]

Question for those that have received theirs already. Do the front wheels turn? I don't mean rotate on their x-axis (as I assume they naturally do once you take the pegs out like just like the Bat-Pod) but do they pivot on their y-axis? In other words, can you "pose" the Tumbler in simulated steering positions? So far most of the pics seem like the wheels are set straight ahead.

Yes, it does. I thought I include a pic with the wheels turned to the right, maybe I forgot. But they do.

I just went back to look at my pics. Page 365 of this link, under the Batman29, there is a picture of it facing the front with the wheels turned.

I think this is what you mean by the wheels turning.

Thanks mate! That's what I mean exactly...but that is a very slight turn though, is that the physical limit on the turn radius? I know the real vehicle probably has a very wide turn radius, but I think the wheels on it have a little more range.

so...I heard the wait on these things were terrible would you all agree?

 

[Atheris]

will love to see pics once it comes in.... also can I ask what were the dimensions of the case as I am looking at one which is 32x24x14 which will house my original costume bats and the tumbler

Your going to need a little bigger than 32"...the styrofoam alone is about that length. My measurements are 35" x 23" x 12"......I made mine a little longer because I have a custom 5" x 2" chrome name plate being put on the base also. I'll post pics when I get it...

A tiny bit more, but that is about it.

thanks Chris.... I guess I will have to alter my measurments to 36x24x14 thanks for the heads up.

Would not agree. That a super detailed 1/6 scale Tumbler was even made is incredible.

Yes!, and I got mine with paint damage on one side. Outstanding for Batman fans, I just wish this was mostly metal.

Is it just the photos or does the car overall look too much like plastic?

Yes, it's made of mostly plastic but could've a better job been done making it look like metal? I don't know, that's why i'm curious.

The scale and the tires are awesome but the car looks like a toy to me instead of the Tumbler show piece it needed to be for that price.

I got mine today, Sunday no less! I just don't like it at all. What a big waste of plastic. So many defects and scratches. Definately selling it on ebay. I could always get more enjoyment out of it and recreate this scene,

"Good-bye" indeed.

Pics......

Yeah, tomorrow morning. I was thinking of sitting my Takara Batman in it (I don't want to pose my HT OC Batman) but I'm just going to sell it. No figures are going in it.

 

[lforigno]

if mine comes all scratched up from amazon than I will defintely return it and not keep it. I understand there is going to be alot of plastic being used which honestly I dont care about but if there are scratches or defects in it than I will be displeased. I guess only time will tell and if it does get here and if perfect than I will be happy but if not than oh well it will just be an easy return.

 

[LEADERCOBRA]

I got mine in today too. This thing is way too small. I can't sit in it? What the ^^^^!?

No. No excuses.
