Curse You, Tankman!
Thursday, September 5. 2013
It was more than nine years ago that two photos of the Tumbler appeared online. They were the first images we got for the upcoming Batman movie reboot, and no one knew quite what to make of the new Batmobile. Fast forward three movies, over two billion dollars in combined worldwide grosses, and thousands of choices for replicas...with one exception. Until Moebius Models stepped up, there were no real 1/24 or 1/25 scale replicas of the Tumbler (Tyco had an R/C car that looked close, but only the broad stokes). You could get repicas for your model railroad, slot car track, or Hot Toys 1/6 figure collection. Tumblers were available for your birthday cake, car antenna, alarm clock, piggy bank, and Christmas tree. After a while, it seemed like the fates were intentionally mocking builders/collectors. So Moebius gets an especially big "thank you" from me - not only did they finally fill a hole in my collection, they did it with an outstanding kit.
