Batman. The Dark Knight Rises.
Every hero has a journey. Every journey has an end. Batman is back in 2012 as ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ hits movie theatres around the globe. One of the most incredible moments of 2008’s ‘The Dark Knight’ saw Batman’s Tumbler wrecked during the chase with The Joker. However, the Tumbler makes a welcome return in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’; and this time with a very different look.

Scalextric have recreated the raw power of Batman’s explosive and iconic vehicle at 1:32 scale; presented in beautifully designed Limited Edition packaging. From Christopher Nolan; The Dark Knight Rises - the epic conclusion to the Dark Knight Legend.

Its actually 1/32 size, not the same small 1/43ish version from Batman Begins? I do hope so, and it seems to fill out the presentation box very well! But will it be too wide to race against other cars if it is - since that was the reason given last time for the smaller scale? Not that this would be a reason not to get it, just wondering...

I'll get one to compare against the previous one that we reviewed here: http://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.php?...amp;page=Batman

With an overall length of 115mm, that would make it about the same size as the BMW MINI, 113mm, I've seen the first film, the Tumbler in that one seemed bigger. Regards Jason

After a quick reckoning with a calculator and ruler, I make it about 1/43ish. Jason

At true 1/32nd scale would it not hang over the side of the track? I'm sure it is the same mould as last time (Scalex could of done this model then, as the camo version does appear briefly in the first film).

[astro]

Is the publicity model broken? It seems to have less winglets on the top than either the old tumbler - and more importantly - the artwork on the box!

I had assumed it would be the same model as the previous release, I was just surprised at the blurb proudly stating it was 1/32 scale.

saw the film yesterday

gotta say id prefer catwoman on the bike

[Wraith]

I've got this on preorder, I know its not the correct scale but i don't care as it will never see a track, it will just sit nicely next to the black one.

[DJ]

Yes Wraith but let's be honest Mate there aren't many cars you don't buy..

Unfortunately this won't be available in the US. If anyone reading this would like to swap some of these new Tumblers for some US only versions of some Scalextric or Carrera products, I'd be happy to trade with you to get my hands on a few of these.

These can be preordered in the USA from 132slotcar.us
