TDKR Hot Toys 1/6 Scale vehicle "THE BAT"

[Username]

There is a schematic of 'The Bat' in this book The Dark Knight Manual but not enough information or pics to build your own.

Thanks.
I was really hoping for a set of plans.
No worries. I'll just have to make my own.

After watching the movie, I want one so bad. Just don't have the space for it.

Same here!!!
I mean this would be a great center piece for any collectors room!
I wonder if this will be able to hold 2 figures...Batman and Catwoman?

 

[dominishin]

It would have to or otherwise wtf HT.

 

[jdeezy75]

It better fly, have the camouflaged canopy, the helipad platform, and take unleaded gasoline otherwise FU HT.

Spoiler

And the bat cave platform as well!!!!

I really want to get this but where on earth would you get the space for it?

I'll be in uni so if I do get it it will probably have stay in the parents' attic for about 3 years until I finish uni and get my own apartment (sadly not joking)

 

[yongkykun]

The shipping cost to Indonesia alone can buy me another HT figure.

Probably two

What are we expecting the price to be for the bat?

 

[Jaycepticon]

Kind of off topic, but does anyone know if anybody is making any remote controlled versions of this thing? Obviously, not of the Hot Toys version, but like those remote controlled helicopters, this would be fun to fly

 

[intothevoid]

I doubt it because the aerodynamics would be tough to work out

 

[spindrift]

Was against buying this but if I get enough $$$$ by the time it comes out going to get it and forego many other non- Batman figures to do it!

Yeah I think I read an article somewhere saying that sort of design is not suitable for flight, it's merely to look good.

 

[Jaycepticon]

that sucks, it would've been cool to fly around the office

 

[DreaAlGhul]

It has to be. The 'BAT' is supposed to be 28 feet long and 17 feet wide. At 1/6 scale it's approximately 4' 4" (4 feet 4 inches) long and 2' 2" (2 feet 5 inches) wide.

HOLY CRAP. That's absolutely ridiculous.

They better! Not including 2 seats would be a huuuuge mess up on their part.

 

[Haloid1177]

I could have sworn Hot Toys already confirmed it could fit two figures.

There is a rumour floating around HK forums that The Bat might be cancelled due to the very high costs and the logistical complications involved in getting this thing shipped to dealers all over the world. There is also talk that this will be a box that can't fit into a normal sized sedan and will need a van or truck to transport.

For perspective over here in Asia, most people drive sedan or hatchback.

Not everyone have a truck or a hummer like the States.

 

[EVILFACE]

Might be too large to ship by places like UPS. Freight charges by truck is some bucks.

Im not surprised. Its just not practical.
And I wish I could argue with that last statement...but there's at least one Hummer in every damn parking lot around here.

Doubtful; they wouldn't go as far as to advertise it if they weren't sure that they could get it in people's hands.

I hope they will find a way to make it compact, I was really looking forward to the Bat
