That's the 1/50 scale Batmobile by Mattel - the short rocket launch tubes give it away. So it's slightly smaller than 1/43, but will work with 1/43. Did you see pics of the backside yet - that's pretty neat too!

It's odd that it includes the 14 Miles sign but not the Danger sign...

Batmite, if you look just to the right of the 14 Miles sign you'll see a white barrier gate from behind. I'm betting if they showed it from the front the gate has the yellow and black chevrons and 'Danger' writing on it. It's a little error as the gate should be closer to the entrance/exit and the 14 Miles sign should be further towards the edge of the diorama.

Would prefer 1/25 Batcave.

I was told by one of the guys at Factory Entertainment that the diorama was probably going to go have a $495 price tag and eventually include lights.

Be neat if this was done really small scale like a 1:87 or 1:64 by Franklin Mint or Danbury or the like. I wouldn't be interested in a larger size or price myself. But it's a sharp looking item.

Makes sense in terms of price tag. Lighting would really complete the package. Very much looking forward to seeing where this product goes.

I hope it sees the light of day, but of course, way out my price range. Still very nice :D

For that price, in addition to lighting, it would be a good selling point if they were to include some figures with it that are the same scale as the diorama.

Great piece!

I've thought about making the cave but I like the Mattel Batmobile and figures so that would make a set that takes up roughly a 4x8" sheet of plywood for the entire cave.
Not too practical!

It's a nice scale car and set.

$495? They are really begging for most of the units to sit in a factory. When it comes to TV-related or based items, I would gladly pay $200 or more for a complete series soundtrack (the average based on existing soundtracks of other series), as that is so much a important part of the series, but a diorama? That's overpriced.

Then it is not for you. No worries. Price and value are relative. Importance to the series is relative (I know many people where it's ALL about the car). This isn't meant as a mass market piece. I'm guessing a very limited edition as much of Factory Entertainment's lines generally go. Just saying.

I can do without the lights, and a price tag around $149 would be justified. If it is a limited production item, then I could see $199. It doesn't have to be and shouldn't be a heavy porcelain type diorama like the Danbury Mint and Franklin Mint have produced in the past.
