Toy Fair Spotlight: To the Batmobile!

As a model builder and collector, one of the most frustrating things about the Dark Knight trilogy was the dearth of 1/24 replicas of the Tumbler. There was a sort-of-but-not-quite R/C vehicle from Tyco, but until Moebius Models released their fantastic model kit, there was nothing available for nearly a decade. Not so for the upcoming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, with three 1/24-1/25 scale replicas scheduled to hit stores this summer!

First up was Spin Master's 1/24 R/C Batmobile. A companion piece to their larger R/C Batmobile currently in stores, this will feature a similar "worn" paint job to mimic the movie aesthetic.

Next, Jada Toys showed off their new "Metals" line. Metals is looking to be more of an adult collector series of figures and vehicles, mixing traditional toys with modern design. The figures look pretty cool, but the Batmobile is the real star so far, with working canopies and a fully detailed interior. It is sold as a disassembled diecast vehicle, so as not to violate any licensing agreements with diecast manufacturer Mattel.

Although they weren't at Toy Fair this year, Moebius Models has confirmed that they will be doing a plastic kit as a follow-up to their Tumbler. It will not have the working canopies of the Jada release, but as a plastic kit (and judging by their past releases), it promises to have some incredible detail along with the potential for upgrades.
