a potential alternative to the Hot Toys Tumbler...

could be this....

rewmote control Batman Begins Batmobile....got this back in 2006,on clearance at WM...for $30 ! it's huge,close to the HT scale,and has light-up headlights and roaring engine sounds.....doesn't open up,but it's a hell of a lot cheaper,if you can find one...

no way

Meh, collecters dont give a damn, they just want DC stealing their money.

Hey, I like that! Great idea! And you know something, it does fit the 1/16th scale perfectly. Hell, your just going to display them anyway so who cares if the cockpit doesn't open? I like it! Two thumbs up!

I really love the last image. The Takara Batman is stellar.

Nice man, nice. I have a hard time giving up $500 for a damn toy collectible. Thumbs up on improvising!

Heh, somebody else done something similar.

Put their Takara next to a tyco batmobile that is also 1/6 scale. Or is this the same one?

yep that's the same one! of course,theirs is a cleaner,but i did just pull mine out of the closet after almost 2 years of storage (bought for my son for his birthday...he drove it around the yard maybe 2 times,then lost interest )....so i "adopted" the sucker...i just remember seeing the pics from SDCC of the Hot Toys tumbler and how big it was,and i thought to myself "That's about as big as the RC one i have in the closet!"...then a little light bulb went off in my brain...
