Preview Hot Toys The Dark Knight Rises: 1/6th scale Bat-pod Collectible - BATPOD version 2.0

Hot Toys has released pictures and product specifications of their MMS177 (Movie Masterpiece Series) The Dark Knight Rises: 1/6th scale Bat-pod Collectible. The 1/6th scale Bat-pod Collectible specially features: Authentically detailed 1/6th scale collectible, Perfect scale to Hot Toys’ 1/6th scale collectible figures from The Dark Knight Rises movie. Comes with Headlights light-up function. Other features: Machine Gun, Grappling Hook and Wheel with Hub-Mounted Engines. *Batteries are not included for collectible; 3A batteries (a total of 3 pieces) are required. Release date: Early Q4, 2012


Perfect scale to Hot Toys’ 1/6th scale collectible figures from The Dark Knight Rises movie? Does that mean that Hot Toys have to re-release the Dark Knight again? Who else can ride the Bat-pod except BATMAN the Dark Knight himself (as the pictures show) or is there another 1/6th figure that can ride the Bat-pod? 1/6th scale Anne Hathaway Catwoman? Hmmmm...




There appears to be no mention of the extra cape and cape support for the special riding effect for Batman which came with the FIRST version (see my post HERE). So does this mean that this particular version is not intended for BATMAN but Catwoman instead?

    Hi Alex,
    I'm realtively new to Hot Toys, just wondering though, can Batman DX-02 ride the batpod?
    Do you have any info regarding when Hot Toys will launch the Batman from the dark knight rises?
    Thanks.

    Yes, DX-02 Batman can ride the Bat-pod :) The pictures shown here are exactly that. No idea when Hot Toys will re-release the Batman from TDKR :( they have been pretty tight-lipped about that CHEERS

    From first impression, the color looks different ;p this one has a more silver finish. Can't really tell until there's one placed side by side ;p
