If I had deep pockets I would go for the LGBTQ Adam West Batman (Batgirl?)

“Bat-them.”

That 89 Axis Chemicals/Joker-copter/parade balloon diorama is a thing of beauty...

How much do we think it will go for?

 

[HAL9000.]

Can’t wait for some guy to buy it before asking if it’ll fit in a detolf.

Two Detolfs?

 

[Masao]

More likely 2x3x2 detolfs... If a bank of them can be built that way.

 

[Masao]

That batboat is a serious disappointment btw. No, an atrocity!

 

[Zurdo95D]

I kinda like that TDK Joker dressed up as Batman

 

[jsgord58]

Think it’ll crack $100k in the auction?

I think some would prefer to buy $100k of crack and hallucinate they are Batman working in the bat cave with boy wonder.

One-of-a-kind 1:6 scale Batman Batcave Diorama with Prototypes (Hot Toys, 2016). Caped Crusader fans will instantly recognize this classic setting from the 1966 Batman TV show... the Bat Cave! Meticulously recreated by a talented team of artists and craftsmen, this one-of-a-kind diorama was created to be displayed publicly at the Batman 100% Hot Toys Exhibition in September of 2016. This date coincided with the release of the first Suicide Squad movie in Tokyo and lasted for 2 weeks.

The diorama measures 9' wide by 5' deep by 4' tall and includes an impressive number of custom-made pieces, not the least of which is the pre-production '66 Batmobile that was first displayed at San Diego Comic-con in 2012. While initially planned for a full release by Hot Toys, this Batmobile has yet to be available, making it the only one produced to date by the company.

The stone cave walls are the base of this setting with an Atomic Generator set in the back wall, two large pipes flanking it on either side. While the Bat-boat sits in the rear grotto, a variety of machines often employed in the TV show fill the room. In the center, a crescent-shaped stand with four unique Bat-suits brings to life the cover of Detective Comics #165 – "The Strange Costumes of Batman!"

Everything pictured is included. The Batcave walls are constructed of foam and the floor is plywood-based. The computers and scanners can be wired underneath and hooked up to an electrical box that is included but was not connected or tested at the time of photography. The Bat-boat with trailer and stand are custom pieces used for this setting but were not created by Hot Toys artists. The four Bat-suits are one of 2 sets in existence, each with their own sign describing the suits origin. And as previously mentioned, the Batmobile is one-of-a-kind and served as a prototype shown at San Diego Comic-Con in 2012.

Standing in front of this impressive diorama gives you the feeling that you are in the presence of something truly special. It transports you back to a simpler time of youth where you became vested in the fate of your favorite heroes versus the over-the-top villains they faced every week. This is the piece that begs to be at the center of your Batman collection.

[BigWayne]

I just want to know how much the shipping charge is for the axis diorama

 

[Wor-Gar]

When will we know how much?

 

[warlock664]

When will we know how much?

Why, when the auction’s over, of course !

 

[Wor-Gar]

Why, when the auction’s over, of course !

when is that?

 

[Earth 616 Collector]

The Batcave's current bid is $1000 with 23 days left

 

[Wor-Gar]

23 days!? Oh wow...

How about Axis Chemicals? How much did DiFabio bid?

 

[Earth 616 Collector]

23 days!? Oh wow...

How about Axis Chemicals? How much did DiFabio bid?

Surprisingly only $105 at the moment

 

[Earth 616 Collector]

You are charged for the actual shipping costs. Batcave measures 9' wide by 5' deep by 4' tall

 

[Wor-Gar]

I suppose its the shipping that will kill people. Maybe also keep them away from bidding.

It must break apart and be transportable though, to the shows, and fairly easy to set up. So hopefully its collapsible to a much smaller volume. Still heavy thought probably.

 

[BigWayne]

There are still 23 days left in the auction, plenty of time to drive the prices up. It looks like items in this auction are shipped from Dallas.

Aside from shipping charges, the sheer size of those dioramas is concerning. Incredibly beautiful, but concerning
