I felt this one was cool enough to have its own thread.

It's a repaint of the standard Batmobile Tumbler of course, but a lot of people haven't seen any really good pics of it yet, so here it is:

Image
Sand base color with brown geometric camo spots. The windows and interior are the same as the Batmobile (black). The rims are silver and black, where they're all black on the BM. Also, the louver arms and bumpers are silver here and copper on the BM.

Image
Bazooka would fit without his helmet, so it's got lots of room for 25th and basically any 1:18 or 4" figures.

Image
My son and I were playing with these guys out in the dirt, so I dug him up (literally) to pose him with the Tumbler.

Initially, I was going to pass on this one, but after sleeping on it (and the temporary $8 price) I grabbed it this morning. If it wasn't so recognizable, it would be a great base for a custom vehicle.

That looks cool. Is it undersized though? (I see the figures fit it, but it still looks kinda small).

Yeah, the Batmobile is undersized for this line. I would have happily paid a little more for a correctly scaled version. But at $10 regularly, it's still a pretty good deal.

Yeah, I bought the camo version and the black on sale for $8 bucks each. Not gonna use them for Batman, but as some kinda futuristic ride. Maybe for my custom SHIELD guy's I'm working on.

Cool, the Tumbler looks better suited for the desert BBi guy than anything, i need some.

I have not seen this thing in NJ at all. Every target I've been to has the black version, but not the camo version.

Yeah I've seen a couple more of these around town and been tempted. If they're still around in a week or so I might. It would be a great ride for the desert Major Bludd when that set comes out.

i saw this one tonight, and the packaging says something about being great fit for 4" batman figures on it.

thanks for the pics. i'm getting up early and going back for it tomorrow now lol. for some reason i was thinking there was a larger scale version of it that was made for the bigger scale batman figures.

Actually, there is. Hot Wheels did 1:18 diecast Tumblers for both the Bale Bat flicks.

Yeah, I thought it was interesting that they're basically marketing towards all 1:18 scale collectors with this line.

I was lucky enough to find the camo version in a Target yesterday. I am keeping that one just to display. A few weeks back, I bought the all-black one and we are working on an IG paint scheme for it.

Both my sons and I think these are pretty cool. It reminds me a lot (size-wise) of the smaller vehicles that came out with the Joes at the beginning like the Armadillo, Skyhawk, VAMP, etc.

I really like this vehicle. I just havent gotten one yet, as I am trying my luck with what I am buying Joe wise now :/ . But I am determined to get one.

I found a motorised(sp) bigger version (2 seater I guess), just flip a switch and it goes on its own, has a button for lights. I really like it, may disable the motorized part. But its so cool, and this smaller one is just plain awesome, I have a few customs which this would be a perfect ride.
