1/6 The Dark Knight: Batmobile - Tumbler (relaunch)

Re: Hot Toys The Dark Knight: Batmobile - Tumbler (relaunch)

I'm wondering how one would display this thing. Also wondering if I should get this right when it comes out even though I don't have a Batman 1/6 figure yet as I have the Dark Knight Rises one on pre-order but he won't be out until the 4th quarter. I'm still thinking about ordering The Bat and I've already got the Bat Pod on pre-order as well. I'm going to need to either find me a bigger display case or build me one but I'd probably prefer to buy one. Does anyone know if Ikea carries larger display cases that are like longer in length?

I've just reorganized my wifi set up, to clear an area under my HT display unit, so that's where mine is going. I plan to build acrylic shelves to support this above the Batpod (when it is released).

A collection of words oft-seen in this and the previous Tumbler thread.

Dude, put the batpod above the Tumbler. Trust me!
Unless you are going to use REALLY THICK acrylic.

I think i'm gonna use the display idea of a board member on hre, he has the Tumbler in a display case at an angle with Batman beside it. Got a quote for one that size in the UK tho and it came £317 A bit under what i paid for the Tumbler itself, so i'm either gonna learn how to make perspex case and make one myself or find another way of protecting it from dust.

This thing is like 29 inches long so I guess I need a display case long in length. May have to build one.

Prices are good, but they wont make a case big enough, largest i can make is 15cm too short on the width

I seem to remember someone on these boards having a case for the last Tumbler...any ideas?

When I was at petco, they had a 40 gallon fish tank for 40 dollars that can ALMOST fit the tumbler. We are talking about all the dimensions being perfect except the width, which was 0.5 inches off!!!!

So now I may have to spend 4x this to get a custom case.

But if anyone finds anything out there that's cheaper, please share! Look into fish tanks, it's pretty amazing how cheap they are vs custom cases.

You could always order from bigbadtoystore and then if you change your mind, you could cancel without a fee.

As long as you dont put anything on top it should be fine .

Cool, as long as it's not bendy on the longer panels i'm happy. They'll both be on a cabinet side by side below my tv so nothing will be on top them.

Will do, not sure how long they take to get back to me tho.
