TDKR Hot Toys 1/6 Scale vehicle "THE BAT"

[DiFabio]

Who is actually glad they are making this in 1/12 scale? What other HT items can you display this with? Do you want a 1/12 Tumbler and 1/12 Batpod and Batman too? HT is pretty stupid to make this so small to display this by itself. I'm sure they will go head to head with other model makers that can make a more accurate Bat.

They're doing it because that's the only way to get the Bat out there.

I prefer the road going vehicles anyhow. Specifically, the 89 Batmobile.

I would have not bought a 1/6 scale Bat (no room) but i would have liked to have seen how people displayed this. It would have made for some crazy displays.

I am happy they are making a smaller more "affordable" lol I'm sure it will still be overpriced) version. If I get one I will display on top of a Curio that has several vehicles around the same size from Star Wars, Aliens, etc. It will be across the room from the Curio i keep my figures in. So it will look fine.

I do have my Code 3 slave 1 ship displayed with SS Boba Fett and it looks great.

Hopefully they will make a 1/6 scale for those that really want it.

We're getting a 1/12th Batman with it. That's enough for me. I dig this thing and I feel that, at this scale, it will feel more like it's own stand-alone grail piece, rather than another vehicle in a line, anyway.

I bet the propellers move too. People are forgetting about that.


This is better than nothing for those interested. A 1/6 would have been too impractical to produce, to price, to ship and to display. Not to mention all the QC problems that would come with something that intricate and large. Anyone who thinks other wise has their head up their *** and were too eager to throw their money down on something so unrealistic in terms of this hobby.

It'll be a cool display piece for those that want it. Kind of like the Matrix Sentinel. I prefer to have 1/6 vehicles in my collection that are of a reasonable and displayable size. I never thought a 1/6 Bat would have fit into that category, so they probably went with the right choice.

the price tag on this is gonna be 1200$ watch ill bet anybody

I'll take that bet because there's no way in hell HT is gonna charge $1200 for a 1/12 scale Bat. Unless you're still talking about the 1/6 Bat that's apparently been scraped.

Yeah, It won't be that much. Definitely under 1,000. More like around the '89 Batmobile price.

I hope the price will be around 500usd...otherwise it will be expensive!

I can almost assure you that it will be over $500 USD. This will easily be in the ballpark of the 89 batmobile if not a little more.

 

[deathbyexile]

apparently it's coming with a 1/12 bat and a 1/12 cat.

so said someone else who translated the original doc. i fergit where.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I'm going to wait for the 1/43 scale version from Eaglemoss for a tenner, I'm low on funds and space, but good luck to those who are able to get a 1/12 or 1/6 scale Bat.

I really don't get this sentiment. Other companies make HUGE collectibles...some even life size. There are numerous examples and companies to look at. Now is that size collectibles for everyone? No. Unfortunately, cost and display space generally knock most out of the market right from the start. But is it that difficult to price, make and ship? Absolutely not.

Of course, these things aren't mass produced like the "limited" Hot Toys figures but it is VERY do-able.

I venture to guess HTs scrapped the larger ship probably because it wouldn't cost out. I highly doubt logistics was the death of it.

 

[bonestockbrz]

Hmmmm..1/12 batman and catwoman..this wont be cheap, but I will stay buy..$700 min.

 

[dominishin]

Man... I had a dream (nightmare?) the 1/12 figures were cosbaby type bobble-heads... maybe I should take a break.

 

[spindrift]

I hope the price will be around 500usd...otherwise it will be expensive!

I think it'll be $400-500..now if it INCLUDES Bats and Cats much more..but i think they'll be seperate

Thanks for posting those pics, Pirate! The Bat is my favorite Bat-plane since the '89 Batwing. Now that i think about it, the Batwing was taken out by a single shot from a revolver.
But it took a Nuclear bomb to take out The Bat.
The Bat wins!!!

^Amen to this. I share the same sentiment - I think those who simply label those with their head so far up their @$$es are simply either jealous, broke, or both. I think both

My purse overflows with coin and I will "throw away" money for this, and anyone else can simply either fall in the category described above. It is surely not my fault myself and others are hyped, have the funds necessary to own this.

And I'm sure there are many MORE willing to do the same to get a 1/6 Bat as seen by some of the posts here.

And yeah, I own the 1/6 Tumbler with custom case, and the 1/6 Batpod - I need to own this in 1/6 scale - and as the poster above concluded - I really doubt logistics were the barrier for this. I'm sure HT will eventually warm up and release this, or I will simply go custom. Either way, it's happening.

Lol. And although the nuke *must* have taken it out, there's a possibility it didn't...
