Hot Toys The Dark Knight Rises: Bat-Pod Specs & Pics

[DarthTrafford]

So does the original/first release Batbod's wheels do the spinning/rotating effect?

 

[Ash Housewares]

No. No one even noticed the pod could do that until this movie.

You could see it in The Dark Knight pretty clearly...

i noticed it in the the second movie i wasnt even a big fan back then

would probably make it too unstable if the wheels could do that on the HT version. I remember it happening in TDK but every time they did it in Rises just kicked a$$. Put a smile on my face every time. Love that they are including the adapter for the gun with DX12 as that was awesome too.

EMP gun was underutilized.

Ratchet joint is more than enough to hold it stable and can be posed with ease. I think HT simply doesn't care.

EMP gun was underutilized.

Agreed. But it does look good. The light up feature on it makes up for the sonar eyes.

Quick question. Generally how many weeks does sideshow get its stuff in before stores like bbts. Keep debating where to get it from. I'm assuming shipping will be around the same both places or no. I live in pennsylvania?

While u could probably make the toy do the spinning wheel thing in reality it's impossible, with the way the axle and engine placement is aligned. The way the wheels turn they have to roll over the guns on the side, which would just knock you straight off the bike as they would dig into the ground creating a brake in effect. It does look bloody cool though. And yes, I know it's just a movie, I am just pointing out its not possible, but neither is The Bat..

The center of the bike is not the engine. The engine is on the wheel itself. 2 separate motors on each wheel synchronized. The wheels are rotating independently of the axle. The driver stays upright the whole time

Sucks that this dont fit in a detolf, so want to be posing Selina Kyle on it when I get it

You could just sit it on top of your detolf I guess.

Sad that HT didn't bother to change it for the re-release to mimic the actual vehicle's articulation.

Ordered from Sideshow on Flexplay. Knew I would after seeing TDKR.

Who would have thought the BATPOD would steal the show being used by the two "heroes" of Gotham?????

 

[Tyranus7]

please guys, use spilers tag.. I haven't seen the movie yet, because it will not be in theaters untill july 26 in southamerica.. thanks..

 

[mjordan23]

Sorry to be repetitive but how far ahead does SS get their stuff in compared to bbts. And would shipping be about the same. I live in pennsylvania... Thanks

By the sounds of it I may not regret that I wasn't able to sell my Batpod.

I've always liked it but this film cemented it as the best Nolan bat vehicle for me. I'm ordering it because of this! The DX12 and this will look amazing.

 

[yongkykun]

Personally, I would put Selina on it.

Yep, well either really! It will be awesome to have the choice!
