Hot Toys Previews The Dark Knight Rises Sixth Scale Bat-Pod Collectible

Batman's vehicle gets an upgrade for the latest movie

Due to the popularity of their previously released 1/6th scale Bat-Pod collectible from The Dark Knight, Hot Toys will be re-releasing it with some minor updates to coincide with The Dark Knight Rises' release. The toy manufacturer gave fans their first look at the vehicle collectible this morning with eight new photos.

Even in its sixth scale, the Bat-Pod is a lengthy beast, measuring nearly 2 feet long and 6 inches high. As you can tell from the photos, it's perfectly sized to display any Hot Toys Batman figure. You could even display their 1989 Batman (Michael Keaton) figure on it if you wanted. The Bat-Pod has a metal frame to handle the weight and if the previous release is anything to go by, they'll be including a replacement cape that's better suited to mimicking the cape flowing at great speeds.

The Dark Knight Rises Bat-Pod is now available for pre-order via Sideshow Collectibles. The mammoth collectible is priced at $274.99, but completely worth it (based on our experience with the previous Bat-Pod).
