Hot Toys 1/6 Tumbler/Batpod Batman

[Jedi Princess]

To hell with the wife, it's going on the coffee table.

I'd put it on our big screen TV (we've got an older non-flatscreen one with lots of room on top).

Anyone know where to order the Batpod on-line for under $220? I'm staying clear of Statuetoys, and Dollyplanet appears to be all out of pre-orders.

Darren, I hate to be a pest, but can you measure the wheel base? The diagonal dimension of the top of a detolf is just under 21." It appears that the wheel base would be very close to that measurement.

Yep, I would love to know this too please. Only place I have to put it.

Good luck with that.

Bats on the Pod is truly a beautiful display. I passed on the pod for the Tumbler. Now that will be ridiculously cool. I'm also making a custom Gordon, so he'll take it for a ride too...

It's 25.5" long x 7" wide x 6.5" high. Too big to fit in a Detolf.

Post 1741. Come on people. It's not that difficult. Do you really need someone to hold your hand?

In the pics it just doesn't seem to be over 2 feet long. I wasn't sure if those measurements were taken from one of the websites where you order it, or if it's an actual measurement of the batpod in hand. From the pictures, it looks like Batman is more than half the length of the batpod. Just my observation.

I think, even if it were an estimate, it would be pretty close. You'd need at least that much room, even if it were shorter. If the detolf can only fit 21" then I don't think the measurements are going to be 4" shorter.

If the Pod goes on the coffee table, where are you displaying the Tumbler? Her side of the bed?

where the her cat litter box used to be. Litter box goes outside now.

He gave the total length. That includes the guns and the outer diameter of each wheel. That dimension will be longer than the WHEEL BASE. It looks as though that measurement would be under 21." Goodbye.

More than it first looks actually. While it doesn't have a great deal of side to side turning movement in the front wheel, there is still some. And the front and back wheels in the film not only spin front to back like a normal wheel, but also seem to have the ability to spin side to side, like when he turns around by driving up to wall and when he comes to a stop after coming out of the alley (if you notice you see the headlights make a couple of revolutions as the front wheel flips around)

I know the front wheel spins in the movie but it would be rather useless and wasted articulation on the 1/6th Batpod and could become loose leading to issues with it staying upright.

Update from TOYS2:

They are expecting to get the Batpod to ship at the end of January.

Thanks, I was going to call shortly.

No problem.

Beware of Statue Toys! I was going to order from them but did a google search and read some people's experiences with them. Nothing but bad! No communication and they take forever to ship your item (if they even do).

Thanks for the advice. I do hope that price was not "too good to be true." Another down-side to dealing with them is unlike https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/, this company charges first for preorders. I might have to contact my credit card company.

Thanks again.

My husband actually ordered an Autobot Matrix from them last year. He said after a few months of waiting, he e-mailed them and they said, "sorry, we haven't shipped it yet." It arrived about a month later. So I guess there's a price to pay for saving on the price you pay. And that's a lot of waiting.
