RE: Bandai 1/35 Batman Begins Batmobile Tumbler Plastic Kit

Here's the description
Not sure of the bolded statement.

NEW!!! Featuring the new High Quality Detail 1/35 BATMAN BEGINS Batmobile AKA "Tumbler" Model Kit from Bandai! This radical design was created with total functionality and performance in mind. Measures 131 mm in length. The headlights on the model actually light up!

The new Batmobile, which began life as a Wayne Industries military prototype called The Tumbler, is 2.5 tons, 15 feet long, and has a 350-cubic-inch Chevy engine capable of 500 horsepower. It is equipped with front-firing machine guns, a landing hook and, as you can see, 4 rear super swamper tires.

It has to get up to 220 mph to get airborne, but then it can jump 20, 30, maybe 40 feet. To perform this gravity-defying act, the Batmobile utilizes its jet engine and vector controls. The metal things on the back are like "wings" that give it enough lift once it jumps.

Built from the ground up; it has a 5.7 liter, 350 curbic inch, 500 horsepower engine with about 400 pounds of torque. Uses regular gas but can only get a single digit miles per gallon.

The four huge back tires are monster truck tires while the front ones are race car tires. It has a fighter cockpit with the hatch above it that slides up and down to give access.

And the cannons on the front give Batman the ability to get out of stickly situations. But not to kill people, more like blowing a wall out of the way to jump away from a trap like he does in the movie.

"And the cannons on the front give Batman the ability to get out of stickly situations. But not to kill people, more like blowing a wall out of the way" Unless you're standing on the other side!

131mm... ...just over 5". Those parts be small! Working lights?!

Could've been taken from the description for the other toy

It looks fantastic. I have one on order from www.monstersinmotion.com which says it is shipping July 13. $44.95

RE: Bandai 1/35 Batman Begins Batmobile Tumbler Plastic Kit

The only thing I see wrong with this model (so far ) is the antennas on the ends of the wings are molded plastic and are way too thick. I would cut these off and make my own.

RE: Bandai 1/35 Batman Begins Batmobile Tumbler Plastic Kit

Awesome pictures. If we only had the data files used to make the kit we could simply blow it to full size and then build our very own.

RE: Bandai 1/35 Batman Begins Batmobile Tumbler Plastic Kit

Please don't give Tim any ideas

RE: Bandai 1/35 Batman Begins Batmobile Tumbler Plastic Kit

 From: Tim | Posted: 6/21/2005 11:50:34 PM |

RE: Bandai 1/35 Batman Begins Batmobile Tumbler Plastic Kit

RE: Bandai 1/35 Batman Begins Batmobile Tumbler Plastic Kit

Give Tim Ideas??? What about me? Im so using the model to model the suspension. Dear lord if I build one of these cars, to specification, Im gonna have alot in the suspension. That and a car I won't be able to drive on the road.


 From: Tim | Posted: 6/23/2005 9:45:11 AM |

RE: Bandai 1/35 Batman Begins Batmobile Tumbler Plastic Kit

Yeah, this vehicle is definitely more of an off-road ATV. I would imagine that this one would be very difficult, if not impossible to make "street legal", without totally changing the design of the car.


 From: Everett | Posted: 6/24/2005 12:22:30 AM |

RE: Bandai 1/35 Batman Begins Batmobile Tumbler Plastic Kit

regulation width of a vehicle is maximum 8' 6" wide. Were talking what... 9' 4" wide. Yeah can you say SUT (Sport Utility Tank)

RE: Bandai 1/35 Batman Begins Batmobile Tumbler Plastic Kit

RE: Bandai 1/35 Batman Begins Batmobile Tumbler Plastic Kit
