1/6 Batman 1989: Batmobile Collectible Vehicle - Specs & Pics

Re: Hot Toys Batman 1989: 1/6th scale Batmobile Collectible Vehicle - Specs & Pics

what's the point of buying 2 of these anyways? Makes no sense to me why people do that, especially with a $700 item.

Hoarding. OCD. Mental illness. One to gloss up and make a Returns Batmobile. One to customize into a durable RC. One to put away for your child's college tuition (I bet some folks really do that with these things ). Flip later for secondary market prices. Hype. MOAR.

Who the hell knows.

Likely because the aftermarket price will be absolutely sky high in a year.

If I had the space to store these, I would buy several. They are going to jump way up in price not too far down the road once they sell out everywhere.

Divorce is my motivation not to get 2.

Judge would extract 10 Tumblers out of me per month.

Mental illness lol

I guess flippers have a ton of space then. As sure of a thing as that is, most people have no interest in putting in the effort of dealing with flipping one of these.

that makes a little more sense, if you have them displayed in 2 different buildings, but I never understood why some people have like 2 or 3 of the same statue or figure displayed right next to each other in the same room. It detracts from the awesomeness of the piece for sure.

Getting older, less space, these things cost way more, etc.. If this was back when figures were $140-$150 and vehicles $300-$400, I'd probably spend more frivolously like I used to.

And then, I keep thinking about how hard this is going to be to fit through the front door.

I'm serious too. I might have to take it back through the garage and come upstairs. We have this narrow inside door in the front before the foyer, I measured it out and I don't think it's going to fit.


I'd feel gross getting two, I really would. It'd be a huge waste, no matter how hyped up I was when the first pics were rolling in.

Boy did you ever say it...great points/ Agree with ALL.
However two 89 Batmobiles calling my name....

Your wife is going to leave you for the '89 Batmobile and take your kid with her after she sees what you have done.

Now your son will have a new father that lights up and reeks of plastic and rubber.

Who the hell knows.

These were the top two reasons I was trying to use to justify to myself getting two. But then I remembered, I much prefer the first appearance of car to the Returns look. Feels more like a brutal machine and less like an exotic sports car when it's not high gloss.

I also wanted to put an R/C motor in one, and create a badass Batmobile R/C...but while I know R/C cars on this scale can sell for this much (and more), I know that honestly, I would never dare run it. I couldn't live with any scratches on it, plus I have a few 1/10 scale RichMans for that.

The only other thing I'd possibly want a second one for is to tweak it to be even MORE screen accurate, there are a couple of very minor things that are off that may be possible to fix, but I wouldn't want to risk messing up a mod on my only Batmobile. But that's the OCD Batmobile fan in me talking....I'm gonna learn to live with it as it is.

Anybody know if you can do a UPS signature release on this? Normally I can but just went into my UPS account and can't seem to authorize a signature release.

How is everyone getting charged and getting their Batmobiles shipped already? I thought it was tomorrow, the 16th for everyone to get charged. That's what mine is. I tried like hell to get it charged today but to no avail. Order Febuary of 2012 too.
