Yeah it bothers me when HT do that whole teasing thing and then they can't decide to release it or not.
Me too.They need to knock that crap on the head pronto because they are seriously choking my enthusiasm and respect for their brand.

7feet 10inches.
Having that been said, how wide would the hot toys 1/6 BVS Batmobile be in inches?
144 divided by 6 = 24 inches

Making something as a prototype and not turning it out for production isn't unheard of. Some things just aren't viable to mass produce.

Man I'm so glad they did the '89 Batmobile when they did. It came out at the perfect time thanks to the post TDK/ pre TDKR hype and the Tumbler and Batpod sales. If it was made later, it would have never seen the light of day and no company is going to ever take a chance on something that big again in the future. In hindsight, it makes the scratches look smaller in the scheme of things.
I wonder if they just don't see big 1:6 vehicles being a viable option anymore. The Bat shrunk to 1/12 and was a dud sales wise (the compact line was dead before it even began) the '66 Batmobile seems to have faded away and now, even the status on the BvS Batmobile is up in the air.
It would be nice to see the '66 and BvS Batmobiles get released. Imagine someone's collection that had the 1/6 Tumbler and Bale, 1/6 '89 Batmobile and Keaton, 1/6 '66 Batmobile and West/Ward and the BvS Batmobile with Affleck. It'd be an amazing set up.

They did the DeLorean after the Tumbler though. My guess would be that the figures are really the bread and butter of their business and they don't like to take as many risks with the bigger items that cost more to produce. It could also be the mixed reactions to Batman V Superman that gave them pause. Maybe they wondered how many people would dedicate the type of money they'd be asking for a piece like that on a film that many people didn't like.
Well Hot Toys made it more complicated than necessary because of the remote and all the other electronic features no one asked for.

I am definitely getting this vehicle if it ever goes up for pre-order and I don't even have any of the BvS figures po'ed yet.

This is our best hope of seeing this get produced. If Batman v Superman had been a Force Awakens size hit this batmobile would be heading for production.
It will be in many more films, SS, JL, the batman film, etc
