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

[hrambo001]

Well, I think the front jets spin with a motor based on some of the pictures showing up from ani-con.

Wouldn't be surprised if these had a motor too. Overall I'm really impressed with the vehicle...actually blown away is a better statement.

I'm wondering if the base will be kind of an environment. Maybe like a piece of a Gotham street with some snow covering it. It would be a nice way to get people to buy the camo tumbler too.

I doubt these would function well

not too impressed by the back blades, they seem to have a motor but its nowhere near as good in terms of speed, kinda defeats the point of having it, especially in comparison to the front blades' speed of rotation.

Also, it seems like the blades at the back are completely horizontal and overlap (i.e. one is lower than the other). I always assumed that the back blades were inclined and together formed a slight V shape (with their lower ends nearly touching during rotation).

Oh well, guess official reveal pictures will clarify all this.

I'm really hoping that it comes in at a not outrageously expensive price. Or it's a ways away before it hits so I have adequate time to save...

I dont remeber the blades being so exposed underneath the bat in the movie it had a more clean look underneath with the blades.

Don't know if it has been mentioned here or not, but it would be nice if Hot Toys would also include the nuclear bomb to go with the bat .

^ use spoiler tags

but yeah that would be nice, maybe as an exclusive

It's possible this is a testbed, and the "real" version will have a potentiometer to ramp the speed up. It's also possible that they are actually going a a lot faster, but the shutter speed of whatever took that video footage makes it seem slower if you get my drift.

Also, it seems like the blades at the back are completely horizontal and overlap (i.e. one is lower than the other). I always assumed that the back blades were inclined and together formed a slight V shape (with their lower ends nearly touching during rotation).

There is a type of helcopter design i saw once(And cannot recall the name), that had two sets of rotor blades, and the rotor shafts were close together. The way it worked was that the shafts were geared together, and when it started up, the rotors missed each other by a significant margin. But what it looked like were two sets of rotors that merged together... Freaky.
It may be a similar thing here. Geared together, the prop shafts can never allow the blades to touch.

I'm surprised that they even spin in general. But yeah, the back blade need to spin a little faster to make it look good.

Either way, I want this thing meow!

I get what you mean about the camera but I don't think that that is the case here, the video itself is flowing at a good rate and the blades are spinning too slow for it to be due to the camera. But the prototype theory would make sense, hopefully they will improve it.

Yeah I know of that method, but that would mean that the blades would be locked in place when the motor is switched off (so that their alignment would remain unchanged).
But even besides that point, since the back of the Bat is a curved V shape (the bottom bit of it) it would look beautiful if the blades would follow that shape rather than hang horizontally underneath.

I think the one thing we can all agree on is that this is an incredible movie craft and the final replica will be a wonder to behold.
And if those rotors spin anywhere even close to the speed they should, it's going to be amazing to see in the flesh.

Great. Thanks for those pics. So the blades DO mesh together.

 

[DrQ2]

HOLY CRAP. That's absolutely ridiculous.



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

I have a battlestar and THG Ship bigger then this. No it will not hold two 1/6 figures. I know model people out there are making them and the price just for a model is about $350 give or take. Comes with LED and the blades move. Me why I like the bat. I am not going to get it. Nor will I be buying it from HT. It's just not Sci Fi for me.

My two pics of the BAT from Ani-Com:

how big is it ?can you compared it to anything ?

 

[pr3dato8]

Thanks for the pictures, well good blades or not the Bat is very impressive

how big is it ?can you compared it to anything ?

If I remember correctly is 1.33 metres long and 0.61 metres wide. Not sure about the height.

Forgot to post the third picture, I edited my original post above to include it now.

thanks for the reply now i got to think should i really get this almost 54 inches and 24inches wide

Sure enough. Didn't notice that before.
