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

[Username]

Hard to say if the Hallmark or the Hot Wheels wins the day. They both have their strengths. The Hot Wheels does have a stand. I hate how the cannons bend though due to how the way they're shoved into the bubble. I think the Hot Wheels might be slightly more accurate but it's hard to say.

Well i would say Hot Wheels.
The Hallmark doesn't even bear a passing resemblance to The Bat...

It does look like the top panels are reversed and the front guns are too straight.

I have spent the last three months poring over the plans getting ready to start building in 1/6 and i can say the following:
Proportions are wrong on almost the entire craft, cockpit isn't the right shape or the right length, all panels are wrong, upper intakes the wrong shape, tail looks wrong, guns are too big, the front engines are not canted at all, and don't have the lateral stabilisers...

It'd have to be made in kit form, not only because of shipping, but also because I seriously doubt it would fit through most peoples doorways.

Your average doorway's only about 80cm wide.

It wouldn't be 80cm high though...

October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know.

How'd you find that out?

 

[CTO15]

Not officially cancelled, but more than likely

 

[Fang]

Oh. I thought there was someplace to look that up, because I wanted to know if Jack Sparrow Cannibal Island Throne was canceled too.

 

[batfan1991]

Until it has officially been cancelled lets not say its cancelled some of us still have hopes of this coming out!

CANCELLED

I get the feeling it would be pretty close.

It entirely depends what you think of as close...
I have the plans right here and sitting on the ground as it does in the movie, the 1/6 Bat will be 49.4cm high.
There's no engineer i know who would say 50 is close to 80, lol.

Being a owner of the Tumbler, I really can't even begin to imagine the actual size of this thing if it was really 1/6 scale. This is WAY bigger in the movie than the tumblers are.

I have a printing company making me a set of 1/6 plans for my builds, and the plans are just a shade over 5ft in length. It's absolutely monsterous in 1/6.
The mockups for the movie were 30ft long...
I can only imagine what it was like filming the scene where Batman flies over the police force's heads. A full scale mockup tearing out of that alleyway above their heads must have been amazing.

I might actually be able to get one of these now . It would fit in with my Code 3 Star Wars vehicles and the Curio i have them in.

And a bat signal? I didn't know HT was doing one?
