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

[Username]

Went to pickup some model glue the other day. Not only did the have all the battlestar models $26.99 yes I did buy them) they had a batpod & tubmler. The pod was 1/32 the tubmler was really big $129.99. He did tell me they would be getting in the bat. Size and price unknown.

Its all black so it would be very easy to paint.

Is that the Moebius Tumbler and Batpod?
They are both 1/25 as far as i know.

Despite its awesomeness there isn't much to follow on at the moment, all we can do is wait for further news

Now that I look at it, I must have been crazy,to think that I could actually store this thing.... Ahhhh who am I kidding,I'm still getting it. :

damn.... bad news.... no bat for real.... at least not in 1/6 :'(
Maybe its better this way that the decision was made for me (and many of us)

Are you still convinced this won't be made? Has your source mentioned anything esle about the production of 'The Bat' since?

From what i have heard it's not that they think they can't make it.
Or that they think people won't buy it. They know their target audience very well.
It's that they reckon shipping and import taxes will kill off a lot of orders.
It's easy to say "I would pay $1200 for this, and don't mind paying another $1200 in import taxes and shipping".
But not everyone is in the same boat.

Who cares HT?

I'm waiting for yours

Looking at those pics, there is no reason why this couldn't be made by HT in kit form and packed in a MUCH smaller box. I mean proper kit form, 30 or 40 pieces. It's so big and fragile looking I believe that is the only way it could be shipped anyway. There isn't one central piece which is enormous. The design is very modular looking anyway?

Lol.
Thanks.
The local printing place hasn't come through with the plans. I shall have to explore other avenues. I want to get this thing started...

 

[dominishin]

Kit would be fine... if the pieces fit together perfectly.... which I can see becoming an issue with these plastic parts.

 

[lforigno]

I will be shocked if this is released in anything other than kit form. Just from seeing the size of the box for the tumbler in person and having just an idea of how big the bat is I cannot see this being released complete, but I could be wrong.

 

[jdeezy75]

Gaah indeed. Just wish HT would try to do their reveals closer to the time of release. The waits are getting longer for the figures, especially when there are multiple releases for one movie line. Oh well, I guess it's what fuels these threads. Once a product releases, no one wants to talk about it anymore and its thread falls to the back of the line except for the occasional revisit by nostalgists every few months.

I agree. I measured out a space for the Tumbler and everything, but I was still amazed at the sheer size of it after taking off the top foam piece. Shipping the BAT in one piece would be quite the challenge.

The Bat will shipped in a crate! I have seen the pic once. I'll post it when I find it again

 

[intothevoid]

That was a photoshop made by CREG on these boards

 

[CTO15]

Or he might be referring to the photo from the ami con, where the Bat was placed on the crate before set up

 

[highlander1]

I posted a vid of anicon in the hulk thread and video shows the size of the bat and this thing is humongous and makes tumbler seem tiny...either way anyone who buys it is gonna need a lot of room.

Booooo.


A possible 1/12 scale, though. I'd be in for that!
