Jatta Pake Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I picked up the new Mattel Batmobile at Target the other day. Although it is designed for the 3.75" figures, I think it's more in scale with the Minimates. Now I have another custom to get around to doing... Quote
Vigilante Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) That looks like a perfect fit! Minimates don't seem to look out of place on this set either. Now if only we had a movie Batman to go with it Vig Edited May 31, 2008 by Vigilante Quote
Jad Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Jatta, how much does this cost? I take it this is a Target exclusive? Can you post a pic or a link of it in the box? Thanks much! Quote
Chazwinski Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Yeah, that looks great. Maybe, I won't have to get a C3 batmobile on e-bay now! Quote
captain_cbecker Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 The new Lego "Tumbler" batmobile is also pretty cool. I bet it might not be too hard to modify the kit for minimates. I've seen it at Toys R Us & Walmart Quote
Jatta Pake Posted June 1, 2008 Author Posted June 1, 2008 JadOnTV - I don't know if it is exclusive to Target, but the price was $9.99. Quote
Fo Shizzle Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) I just got back from my local Target and they didn't have it that I could see. But I also did go to Walmart and saw this: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Batman-Dark-Knight-SHIF...0QQcmdZViewItem That looked like it could work as far as fitting a Mate inside. But in my opinion, the car looked too big to display with a Mate hanging outside of it. But soem of you may not think so I figured I'd share! Edited June 1, 2008 by Fo Shizzle Quote
Onyx_6 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) The new Lego "Tumbler" batmobile is also pretty cool. I bet it might not be too hard to modify the kit for minimates. I've seen it at Toys R Us & Walmart I picked this set up at Walmart for $45 and the Tumbler is a perfect fit. It is almost like it was designed for minimates and not Legos. The only modification required is the removal of the steering wheel (which should have been more like helicopter controls, but who cares). Then Batman fits with his hood on as long as you bend his knees slightly. This was a very good purchase. Oh, and I will post pics as soon as I can. Edited June 2, 2008 by Onyx_6 Quote
murderofcrows Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I got one this weekend at a local Target. All I can say, is this thing was MEANT for minimates. By comparison a 3.75-4 inch figure looms over this thing The minimate size is perfect for it. I will definitely display this in my batcave display, along with the 1:50 scale batcycle from hot wheels. Now to find a giant penny.... Quote

I agree, Fo, the Sports Coupe looked too big for Minimates to me too. MOC - Any comparison pics of the 1:50 scale batcycle? Quote

Fo Shizzle Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Awww man, now I have to go and get one of those too! Quote
Jatta Pake Posted June 4, 2008 Author Posted June 4, 2008 Thanks for the pics, MOC! This may be just the alchohol talking, but the red (or orange) and white on the batcycle just seems wrong. What is this cycle from? The Batman TV show from the 60s? Anyone know? I don't recognize it from the comics. I'm not big on the sidecar either (although Sidecars are one of my favorite drinks!). Is the sidecar removeable? I think I will pass on this cycle even though it matches perfectly size-wise. Quote

While I wasn't crazy about the colors either...it just fits soooo well with minimate size i absolutely could not pass it up. the side car IS removable... 2 screws in the bottom of the bike. I haven't taken it off yet, but feel I will before too long. if you ever think about making a bat cave dio...I highly recommend it, even it isnt perfect. It is a good bat fit! more detailed pics to come moc847 Quote
Fo Shizzle Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) Did anybody else notice the handlebars in the sidecar? Maybe it has the ability to split and Robin can have his own mini-batcycle when he needs it...although if they attached it to the toy with screws it's not really meant for it to be separated. Which kinda sucks... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B0...2369&sr=8-1 Edited June 4, 2008 by Fo Shizzle Quote
hypno Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Great Batcave ideas in this thread, I'm liking the tumbler and the giant penny! Anyone know of a big green T-Rex that would work? Quote
Fo Shizzle Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I like Playmobil's: http://www.growingtreetoys.com/product/7940 Quote
Ivan Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 One of the alternate models for the new Lego Stegosaurus is a big green T.Rex with glowing eyes. I think in the Creator lines they include instructions for the various alt models. (bottom-center) Quote
Mattallica Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 can anyone help me out getting one of these? no target stores in my state isnt that dumb! Quote
murderofcrows Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 can anyone help me out getting one of these? no target stores in my state isnt that dumb! I gotcha covered Matt.... I will go get one tonight and get it out on Monday moc847 Quote

Jad Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Can someone explain the penny and t-rex to me, and how they relate to Batman? Also, Matt, just curious, what state to you live in that doesn't have a Target? Quote
The_Donster Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Here's the info on the T Rex and Penny from Wikipedia Jad Quote
