Hot Toys Tim Burton Batmobile

[gunm]

So big...so big...

No way is that going to fit anywhere in my house.

But dang, it's got a fully detailed cockpit. If the steering worked and the guns popped out...oh man, I don't wanna even think about it...

Bad gunm, bad!! Don't buy it...don't buy it...argh.

 

[a-dev]

Whether I have the space or not is not being considered at all. My only worry is what it will cost.

you sir, need to marry her!

I will be. I just erm...need to stop buying toys to have the money to do that

"The ultimate sickness ever!"

LoL at these nerdy people and trying to do the theme tune.

 

[gunm]

Well, it is pretty sick...

 

[Mamba]

I am scared of the price, $800 maybe?

 

[vodoun]

Well, it is pretty sick...

Sick enough to flap your arms?

I'm really thinking $600 will be the top-end on this. I could be wrong, but a lot of it is just one giant hunk of plastic. So unless they go crazy with some of the electronics this could still come out to be semi-affordable.

At $600 and under I'm in, closer to $800 and I'm gonna have to think on it a bit more, over $1000 and I'm likely out and hoping for a scratch-n-dent deal

 

[vodoun]

Wonder if they'll learn from the poor packaging the Tumbler had. The biggest flaw was polystyrene buffing up the matte plastic. Followed by any knocks/bumps from the car to polystyrene, fine detailed bits broken.

 

[gunm]

No, not that sick.

Batman (Batman Returns)
Catwoman
Penguin


Batwing
Batskiboat
Penguin's Duck Mobile (with Penguin Commandos)

Those would be the cream of the crop for me. I'm sure the Bats 89 HT will come with a Keaton sculpt that could be bashed into Bruce.

This really does look a lot better in Pitu's video. Still, the edges should be rounded more, and the front fenders curve inwards towards the jet intake too much, which still bothers me. considering that the correct size to scale would be over 40 inches long, the proportions of this actually look rather nice in this video, if a bit squished. I agree with Galacticboy on pricing. $600 or less and I'll buy. $700 and I might. $800 and I'll have to consider what else is coming out. The interior of this is what I expected from Hot Toys, which I like better than the Toyami version, specifically the dashboard. although the steering wheel could be better. Not totally pleased with it, as it looks a bit too crude and toylike. I'm not sure about the seats, though. Upholstered or rubber seats would be nice. (They are Corvette seats, as I recall)

 

[vodoun]

No, not that sick.

Heh, he wasn't far off it.

 

[dominishin]

Hrmm. The interior seems okay... but if you've collected any high-end auto models... it's not that impressive.

 

[Skiman]

you sir, need to marry her!

Key is.... "She doesn't know how much $$$$$"

Just wait.

That's true. If you were to compare what you get with this compared to what you get from a Danbury Mint model, like their all metal bodied 1/12 scale models with steering wheels that turn the front wheels, turning drive shafts, brake lights that light up by pushing the brake pedal down, hi/lo beam switch on the floorboards, working convertible top and removable hardtop, working headlights, taillights and turn signals, illuminated instrument cluster, removable wheels and brake drums, removable spare tire and bumper jack, upholstered seats and real carpeting, folding seats, opening trunk, doors, and hood with a fully detailed engine compartment all for $500, this Hot Toys shouldn't cost more than $300. Of course, people tend to get more emotional over superhero collectibles and companies like to prey on this, by making them pay a LOT more than what they would have to for anything else, because they know that emotions cause people to pay more for something than reason would dictate.

You are right however I'm sure the license doesn't help.

Writing Batman on the box bumps this vehicle's price up easily by $100-200. Buying a no name brand is always less expensive.

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Can't wait to see those yellow Honda lights lit up

[amusedjester]

Will somebody bring a tape measure to the Con? Or are we going to have to wait for official news on how long this sucker is?

 

[Jango_Fresh]

It didn't look too long to me, I was underwhelmed, I would buy it but not at 400+ Then again Iam sure this is an early proto, looked that way to me. Iron Monger, now that thing looks worth 400+
