I wish they would at least give fans the option of a 1/6 scale Bat. Perhaps a made-to-order scenario for individual purchasers where they collect the money from serious buyers, or at least a NRD(although down payments may be a more accurate description). They've got the molds, they've got the manpower, and they've successfully made the prototype, now just give the fans a chance.
On a different note... is there a thread that breaks down all the 1/6 goodness in that preview pick? Amongst the usual suspects(TDKR, IM3) I think I see Prometheus, The Rock's character from the new GI JOE movie, Arkham Joker, ED209 and Terminator. I'm really intrigued by the headless black/red cloked figure... Magneto from XMFC perhaps?
I could not even imagine what they would charge for this if it was made-to-order.
I'd be perfectly happy with 1/12 scale. It's going to take a lot to convince my fiance to let me have that (after taking a year to convince her to let me have the Tumbler), so a 1/6 scale is never going to happen for me. My condo is 700 sq ft and I have a child coming in a week, so yeah. 1/12 it is.
This is still pretty big, about the size (and probably price) of a Tumbler, give or take.
Ht can sell a lot more of these in this size than they could have in 1/6. Shipping will be easier and if there is a QC problem when it arrives, something this size is easier to ship back for a replacement.
