Hot Toys 1/6 Tumbler/Batpod Batman

[MONK]

Well, i'm not so sure the black tumbler will be released. I'm pretty confident the camo version will be released as it appears to feature prominently in TDKR - but so far there is NO confirmation that the black tumbler makes an appearance in the film.

Of course HT could re-release it regardless, but yeah, i'm not so sure.

Batpod though must be a certain re-release

Why are you confident about the camo? If I were a market researcher for Hot Toys and study this forum, I wouldn't make the Camo.

The black one is pictured and it reads Relaunch....a Relaunch means to launch again , not come out with a totally different vehicle.

 

[intothevoid]

Yes the black one is being relaunched, for The Dark Knight

It has nothing to do with The Dark Knight Rises

I think they will make the camo tumbler for The Dark Knight Rises, based on what information we have about how much the camo tumbler appears in the film.

Of course they could choose not to make it, but if I were a betting man - i'd bet that they will

Right...well...least it looks to be a straight rerelease so, unless theres something we haven't seen, I don't feel hard done by with this one. However, no way I'll be able to get my current asking price on my batpod since it really does seem an inevitable rerelease too.

Then there's the black tumbler mystery, who's to say that it will be back in TDKR, it was destroyed in TDK.

Maybe that's why he flys now.

I don't get your point regarding which movie the relaunch is for...you stated that "I'm not so sure the black tumbler will be released" , It's pictured in the ad however...regardless of what movie it's meant for (TDK or TDKR).

Anyway, I think it's good for those of us that missed the first release and we were patient enough to not bite on the ridiculous after market prices

My point was simply that as a TDKR release, i didn't think black tumbler was likely, since we don't even know if it appears in the movie.

I never considered the possibility that HT would simply reissue the black tumbler under the TDK license

I underestimated their greed.

Well y'know, I was in the Robocop thread thinking that if they reissued ED-209 I wouldn't mind seeing some improvements, new moving parts etc and that one is a big expensive grail piece aswell so I guess why should this be any different.

As it happens, it looks like they haven't made any changes to it. So there'll be no need for anyone who had the old one to buy this one or to feel like theirs is obsolete.

I wonder how long until the 1:4 Tumbler.

My son would want to drive it.....so would I.

I'll need to find a shrink ray for me. 1/4 intothevoid chillin' in the 1/4 tumbler. Win.

I was thinking the same thing, I almost posted that but went with my son instead

That's some funny ____.

HT never said the vehicles would be in 1/4 ;-)
Think about how huge that is :O!!

 

[intothevoid]

1/4 Tumbler will never me made on a mass scale like this.

It'll be bigger than ME

[moleman01]

awesome! i won't be missing out on this again. my ht batpod needs it's docking station.

 

[robomorph]

FIX THE PACKAGING this time, Hot Toys!

Far too many breakages with the original -- and also that horrible paint rub that had many dealers opening their stock to check before shipping to customers.

I really hope HT learned from all the problems and make this one less prone to damages.

I agree completely. For Hot Toys, this makes more sense than to release both new Nolan Batmobiles at the same time. I think a Rises Camo Batmobile is a no-brainer, considering it's only a quick repaint for Hot Toys.

something.. something.. words.. words

 

[scarecrow jim]

Tempting, but i think i'm gonna wait and see if they make the camo tumbler.
