    Batmobile Tumbler Minifig Scale

    created by BrentWaller on 2012.02.06

    Main Section
    One of the most recreated vehicles in LEGO, The Batmobile Tumbler from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Design by Batman Begins Production Designer Nathan Crowley and Christopher Nolan.

    This creation was originally created by myself in early 2008 using LEGO's Digital Designer software and later in MLCAD. While many have taken a shot at creating this before and after, I feel mine is the most accurate available while still being able to fit an official Batman minifigure inside.

    While not perfect, I do believe with enough votes and LEGO's help I can create an even better version for mass production.

    Custom instructions created in MLCAD are already available online:

    or Rebrickable

    Due to the lack of available pieces in the right colours, this camouflage version was painstakingly hand painted using vinyl dye. With LEGO's help I'm sure the same effect can be achieved by either smart use coloured pieces and/or printed pieces.

    This creation fits an official Batman minifigure perfectly inside while still being able to close the roof piece.

    Congrats on 10,000 Supporters, BrentWaller!

    2013.05.09

    It's a black ... tank!

    Again, very well done minifig-scale Tumbler, BrentWaller. We love how it fits a Batman minifigure inside.

    Congratulations on achieving 10,000 supporters. We now officially advance this project to the Review phase.

    What happens now?
    This project moves from the Idea stage to the Review stage. A "LEGO Review Board" composed of designers, product managers, and other key team members will examine the idea. We'll build concept models and determine if the concept meets our high standards for what it takes to be a LEGO product. This includes factors such as playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand. Every potential LEGO product goes through a process like this and must meet the same standards.

    The LEGO Review Begins in June
    This project qualifies for the quarterly review beginning in June, which will also include all projects that reach 10,000 between now and June 3. For more information about the quarterly review process, see this blog post.

    The review is a thorough process and from its start, and can take several months. When finished, we make a "go/no go" decision to develop and sell a product based on the Batman Tumbler Minifig Scale concept.

    When the review is complete, we will inform you of our decision. If green-lit, this project goes into the longest phase of the project; the Development phase. During this time, LEGO model designers refine the product and develop it for release, we create the product materials (box, instructions, marketing), and get everything ready for a production run. This also takes several months.

    We will post follow-up information and our decision here.

    Congratulations on 5,000+ Supporters!

    Dear BrentWaller,

     

    Congratulations on passing this milestone of 5,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO for the Batmobile Tumbler Minifig Scale! You're halfway there!

     

    This project has been a long time coming, from your first design in 2008 to publishing it on LEGO  CUUSOO in February 2012, reaching 500 votes in March, and finally, here we are at 5,000 votes!

     

    It’s clear from your pictures and description of the paint job on the camouflage tumbler that this project is near and dear to your heart.  Such determination and skill deserve praise!

    Best wishes as you continue on your journey to achieving 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO.

     

    The LEGO CUUSOO Team

    Congratulations on all of the support! Wow, we love your Batmobile. Great presentation and use of SNOT techniques. It's great that you built this to fit a minifig; that makes it all the more compelling as a potential product.

    Please understand that this initial green light does not have an effect on the LEGO Review that will take place if the project reaches 10,000 supporters. Until then, we wish you the best of luck on your journey to 10,000 supporters!
