Cheers, but sadly I can't find a Agusta F4 any where, so a Ducati 999 has to be close enough.

shoulda post batman on the left and bruce on the right... that way we could see more of the batpod, and bruce wouldnt show too much of those awkward neck joints.

So I figured a pic of Bruce on his streetbike next to it might be cool!

The DC site says Feb 25th, they're the official US importers so I guess any time after that.

Hey thanks for the infor. Im new here and this is the best site to find out things that are going on in the world of Hot Toys and the dark knight stuff. once again many thanks.

[shandy_man]

nice review....so tempted to pickone up but I've got my funds saved up towards the tumbler :D

[The Ween]

It's really cool but it would run over $300 and I've got too many other things coming in. :(

[usswanker]

Thanks for the review Wookster!!! Really well done man!!!

Great review, I was fortunate enough to get mine quite cheap - £175 shipped, and I paid only £140 as I had a 20% off voucher for ebay!

Got it in the mail a few days ago, it is INSANE. The weathering effect adds a huge amount of realism to it as well. Will post pics soon.

I will say though that it's quite frustrating trying to get the TDK Batman fit on top properly. But it's not a huge deal for me as I never intended to keep him on it long term anyway, have it posed with Batman standing over it with one leg on the pod and one on the floor... pics to come...

[kdoty1]

was it a private seller or vender

Very good review Wookster. When might we here about the 1:2 scale dark knight head bust coming from DC Direct?

Will the Batpod fit in a detolf do you think?

Will the Batpod fit in a detolf do you think?

I don't think so, maybe if proped up at an anle, but it might look a little weird!

[Agent23]

Then the Tumbler definitely won't, huh?

[Minimodel]

Naaah,thats gonna be one big old dust magnet.

[Agent23]

Plus, it's black and will show the dust BIGTIME.

I wanted to go for both the Batpod and Tumbler. But, I am leaning towards not now...
