Hot Toys -The Batman 1/6 batmobile

[WolfBoy]

Jazznic is an ant compared to HT, i doubt HT care.

I think the possibility of getting this vehicle is high, only for the fact that the film has pretty much become an instant hot commodity as far as high end merch goes. With the emergence of QS and JND going into the 1/6th market, HT is the one out of the 3 that could roll out something like a bat mobile. It would certainly set them apart if they are in fact in business competition mode.

We’ll see, it may not actually happen but i wouldn’t count it out just yet.

Hot commodity is so true. Look at Mando. We never got a Dewback but we got a Blurggggg. We never got a HT Speeder bike until Mando. I think there is a swoop bike for preorder as well isn’t there?

Yeah if a movie or series is a big enough hit, they'll try to make as much as they possibly can from it.

Man, this Batmobile is a beast in the movie!! Its introduction was so menacing, hearing it turn on and its engine revving.

Joost got confirmation from WB that QS Batmobile will be China only if they do proceed, and that HT don’t seem to be progressing yet

Any smart company prevents competition to take its share of the market. Not sure why you call this ego move from Howard, if anything, this was a smart move. JazzInc and Joost are great but seems they have a blind following behind them.

I agree that business is business and you have to take emotions out of it. I don’t necessarily think that jazzinc has a blind following, I believe his honesty and transparency is the reason why he has committed buyers. He just released this video today.

I have seen the video when it was uploaded and 100% agree, Joost is awesome in communication, and having his product I know he does a great job. If the price of JazzInc Batmobile is not close to 2000 USD, I might be very tempted

I'm not in the market for this car, but I gotta say -- this kind of transparency in communication is solid gold.

He said the target price is $1499. If they meet the numbers, he's considering the 1989 Batmobile.

Here is an update on the 2022 batmobile

 

[davejames]

Glad to hear he's going forward with it. Although not quite sure if I'm ready to commit myself, and if this is a Batmobile I really need in 1/6...

 

[jinkazama]

Hope hot toys puts theirs up for pre order soon.......

Definitely going to pre-order when this goes up.

. . . . and a potential 1989 batmobile to be released next year sounds absolutely fantastic!

 

[franpincho]

For someone that sold his 1989 back in the day, this is great news. Nothing wrong with the HT one IMO, but its aftermarket prices for a sealed one are likely more than what J will charge for his.

I'm in.

About a decade ago HT swiped the entire Bruce Lee license from Enterbay, who at the time was the sole specialist in that celebrity category. Just a few years ago HT did the same to QMX with Pennywise from "It". And, in case we ever forget, HT wasn't the first company making extremely detailed high end figures - it was actually Enterbay who pioneered that (and to some extent Medicom before) just about 16 years ago, but HT learned from their technique and went on to become the biggest producer in that market.

Oh man, remember the days of comparisons between the Medicom, Takara, and Hot Toys Batman Begins figures. They all seemed so realistic back then but look like shampoo bottles by today’s standards.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful replies to my 2022 batmobile video. Just wanted to clear a few things up when the pre-orders for the 2022 batmobile go up.
Yes, the numbers will be assigned based on when you order, so the faster you order, the lower your edition number plate will be. We will not assigned the numbers randomly like Sideshow does.
And, as always, I will give the people in the closed Facebook group first dibs before I will send out an email and communicate it in other groups and forums. So, the group members will get a chance to get those low edition size numbers.

I’m not in the facebook group because I don’t do facebook, but I am a customer since 2019, with two vehicles fully paid for.

Will you also send an email to us existing customers with instructions to allow us the same opportunities as those on facebook?

Just the usual FOMO move from Hot Toys.

I think hot toys vehicles when you turn the steering wheel the road wheels also turn? I wonder why jazz doesn't do that too.

None of mine do. The front wheels can be moved, but there's no steering column, per se.

It seems real enough if you push it along and go "brrrrm, brrrrm" as it rolls
