Batpod or Catpod:

I'm quite happy to take the pillion seat ;D

I'm usually not a fan of ruining a good bike pic by draping a (even naked) woman over it .... but in this case .....

No wonder the cameraman lingers on that shot at the end for so long  :wub: :wub:  :wub:

Screen-grabs taken ...... just wish I could've used my real hand .....

If one puts Batman in the 1930's thru late 1940's:

Taking a Trumpeter 1/38 MiG-3, putting a spatted MLG and some bat ribs and bat scallops on the trailing edges should look the part quite nicely.   A Tomahawk could serve the role well too if one were to bring the cockpit quite a bit aft.     
As far as a transport, Bruce could pop about here and there with Alfred in a Wayne Pipistrello yes?

both the Mig-3 & P-40 have already been given that treatment  by modellers, they're shown on one of our "found whiffs" pages  ;)

has anyone here have, or built, the new Batpod bike from Mobius ?  It looks very basic & poor (lacking many details) for the money asked even tho it's 6" long.

I'm thinking of a radical mod to a sci-fi thing.

thanks AirCav -- the geek on that vid does waffle on a bit ;D
Looks like the same basic stuff as Polar Lites does - slightly brittle high-impact plastic with a limited number of simplified parts so some cutting & replacing of bits like the steering-ram arms.  Disappointed that it doesn't include the Batman rider (available later in a 4-figure set) which I could modify into the rider that I want to show.

I just may get the 1/25th Tumbler car when they do it tho, as the only other one available is the very big Mattel one -- Bandai did a 1/35th one (perfect for me) but it was always very expensive, hard to find & even harder to get via non-Japanese hobbyshops or internet.

this is what I'm aiming for ...



It was produced in resin a long time ago as part of, among other things, a line of 1/24th space troopers & aliens rather in the same style as Ma.K.

The rider looks more like Ironman but maybe a future version of the BatPod ???

The cycle didn't interest me that much from it's time in the 2nd film but seeing that Catwoman will take it for a spin in the new one did peak :wacko: my interest.  So hopefully another set of figures gets released closer to the new film.

I bought the Corgi Batplane a few years back...what a neat machine. It reminds me of a Scorpion or a hopped up CF-100. Would make a good VTOL bird as well ( if you were gonna whif one up ). Lots of fun to play with, especially with that button the operates the jack-knife like wing mechanism !

Well my first thought on looking at that Bat Plane was - Buccaneer, definately the nose area
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

In my opinion, British, Canadian, or USAF markings make things look so much better...

Hornby did a few basic kits from the Scalextric range, one of them being a TVR Tuscan T400R.  I fancied battying on but they're not easty to get hold of.  The Tuscan just screams Batmobile to me, the shape of the bonnet even has the batmask ornament!

Batman even had a batmobile version of the TVR Speed 12 in one of the comics.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

What aircraft is the Batplane based on as it looks in some angles to be the Voodoo?
