1/6 The Dark Knight: Batmobile - Tumbler (relaunch)

Re: Hot Toys The Dark Knight: Batmobile - Tumbler (relaunch)

Does the cockpit of the tumbler close all the way? Or does everyone have a small gap?

Doesn't sound like you're closing it correctly. Are the corners by the windshield down into the area around the cockpit, or are you leaving the entire windshield assembly out?

You have to go slow and not be forceful.

That's what she said

Mine closes all the way, what kind of gap are you talking about.

Lifting mine out of the styrofoam, I grabbed under the front end and the rear thruster. Totally missed the two spots with the big, bright red lettering saying "handle here". I did pop the silver exhaust area out and snapped two of the pegs off of it. Easy fix though. Two tiny dabs of super glue and it was like it never happened. Other than that, not one problem with mine.

I did get a little nervous when I noticed some water damage on one corner of the brown shipper. But, the actual product box was fine. Not fresh-off-the-line mint, it did have the usual shipping dents and scuffs, but it's in overall NM condition.

So glad HT relaunched this. I got into the game late and missed the initial launch, and didn't want to spend those ridiculous after market prices, but reeeeaaallly wanted this. $470 + $46.71 shipping beats putting some scalpers kid through college any day. I'm very impressed with this and glad I have one now.

This is one of the greatest pieces of modern day art lol. So people with the Batpod, are the Batpod wheels the exact same ones as front of tumbler. If so Batpod is gonna be bigger Than I imagined!!!!

Does anyone knows if once the flaps are installed, can they be unplugged again?

That's what he/she said.








Sorry!

Re: Hot Toys The Dark Knight: Batmobile - Tumbler (relaunch)

Can the front two wheels spin?

The flaps can be removed, you need to be careful with it. They are just tabs/pegs sticking into holes etc etc. The real thing to be careful is the little pumper plastic piece that clips into the top.

Re: Hot Toys The Dark Knight: Batmobile - Tumbler (relaunch)

Same here. Mine was in great shape. Other then the cap of the wheel being loose. Checked the wheel and stayed on. It's a beauty! Leaving it in the box til I can find a place to display it properly.

Umm, WOW!

Can it be?

Mine arrived 100% mint!

No broken spoilers, wheels, scratches, rubs, nothing!

My butt remained puckered during the assembly.

I was like, how bad can 8 spoilers be, right?

I was sweating bullets just removing all the plastic, especially the ones inside, forget even the spoilers!

You really have to go slow with the spoilers or easily risk breakage!

Steady hands folks.

Anyways, it's all put together, I didn't find one single problem on it, not one!

4 years i've been waiting for this thing.

Great Success!

Batpod is next.

Long ways still for 89

Yupp the front wheels match, as they should. The Batpod is pretty big but not nearly as huge as the Tumbler

Blegh. Was hoping mine was coming in this week to my local comic shop, but it looks like it's going to be at least one more week. Here's to another week of living vicariously through others!
