Howdy wonderful people of the Steem Community. In this post, I would be reviewing what appears to be the best 1:64 diecast rendition of the popular Tumblr Batmobile.

Answering Some Questions


Before moving on, let me first address a few questions some readers may have.
A diecast replica is a miniature representation of an actual item. The replica is made of diecast material hence the name.

Diecast is some sort or a type of metal but not actual metal since it does not attract magnets.

1:64 scale is the size. This is your standard size Hotwheels or Matchbox -- although bigger and smaller ones also exist. The popular scales ranges from (smallest to largest) 1:87, 1:64, 1:55, 1:24, and 1:18.

What is a Tumblr?


The Tumblr is the batmobile used in the Nolan-Bale Batman films -- these are Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises.

The Tumblr first appeared in Batman Begins and is actually appears more like a tank than a car.

It is rugged, equipped with high tech weapons, and can drive on roofs (and jump off from one roof to another). Of course, it comes in black and also has a camouflage version.

The 1:64 Tumblr Batmobile Diecast


Since the Nolan-Bale Batman films are very successful, it also catapulted the Tumblr Batmobile as an iconinc vehicle.

Because of this, many toy manufacturers have made the Tumblr batmobile. However, the best diecast representation is apparent from the one made by Mattel's Hotwheels.

As can be seen on the above photo, this particular Tumblr diecast is excellently made. It is a very small item. The coin besides it is use for size comparison (said coin is approximately equal to the size of an American quarter)

Anyway, for a very small item, it takes remarkable precision to produce a diecast replica with an awesome paintjob, opening cockpit, and accurate rubber tires. It is also worth noting that Hotwheels' 1:64 Tumblr diecast is the only one that has an opening cockpit (the ones from other manufacturers like Tomica does not have this).

Anyway, to full grasp what I'm talking about, see the pictures below and marvel at this tiny masterpiece.

If they made 40 more of the Nolan - Bale franchise Id watch all of them 4x. Best franchise ever!

Totally agree. Especially the second one with Ledger as the Joker

Yeah that is one of the best, the last one with Hardy as Bane was up there too! not sure sometimes which one I put ahead. lol

I thought you're using a 5-peso coin but then I realized it was 25c. That car would be as tiny as what hotwheels has?

yup, it's as small as a standard Hotwheels :)

Dude where did you get this?

Got it from a swapmeet :) nakaswerte hehe :D
