Hot Toys 1/6 Tumbler/Batpod Batman

[intothevoid]

How does one know what the maximum insurable amount will be? Any way of finding that out for any given country/part of the world? Today I found out I could only insure up to a pretty small amount after having already declared full value. If I had known in advance I'd have done my buyer the favour of declaring lower since I had nothing to gain from declaring the full amount.

An Post, Ireland, says 'inclusive insurance of up to 35euros' but I just assumed you could purchase insurance covering the entire amount that you declare - evidently not.

So you finally gave in huh? For a good cause I'm sure

A-devs in B4 the re-release.Probably sensible.

 

[intothevoid]

Yeah, probably. I'm not gonna risk it though myself

If I was shipping one I would declare full value to make sure insurance is covered 100%.

Anyone here interested in a BatPod and Tumbler. They're sooooooo big I can't find a place to put it. It hasn't been out of the box yet. Bought it from a member here. I think Michael Crawford. It was from a toy reviewer.

You can't give in! YOU CAN'T GIVE IN!! Well actually no, I haven't sold either the pod or the tumbler, though I can see how I gave that impression. I've been considering letting go of the pod though and was just wondering how difficult a sell it might be when in addition to the mark up from the retail price plus shipping the buyer has to factor in customs fee.

Ah ok - glad you still have them both

So I painted my Transblast Batmobile/Tumbler. I love it! I even painted the exhaust silver with black details. It is over a foot long and looks great on the shelf next to my 1/6 scale figures. I also love that it opens up. =D

This question kinda covers more than just this thread, but I'll ask here anyway since it does have something to do with the Batpod:

Does anyone know of a good/affordable alternative to the Detolf that would have enough room for the Batpod to be displayed too? I have plenty of HT figures that could go in it, so it can be a lot bigger than the Detolfs are.

Bestas from IKEA seem to be popular. I'm sure they're big enough for the batpod. Been looking at getting one myself. There's a thread in the how to section on bestas.

I was JUST thinking about this the other day - I've envied that setup for a LONG time....but this would be going in my media/theater room, and unforunately the glass would be too reflective as it would be 5-6 feet away from the screen.

Thanks for the suggestion though and I hope to one day be able to do this!

You welcome!

This is actually in my home theater room (and living room) …I just turn the light off the table when watching movies.

Anyone else's Tumbler lights continue to glow even when you turn them off? At first I thought there was some other light being reflected on them but, its definitely the Tumbler's lights - a faint glow. When I turn them on they're unbelievably bright.

Before I google it I have a feeling its something to do with a 'living' car. I know I saw a film years ago.......

edit- Sure enough - a John Carpenter film from 1983.
