Batmobile Tumbler Minifig Scale is an Achieved project on LEGO CUUSOO created by BrentWaller on February 6^th, 2012, and reached 10,000 supporters on May 9^th, 2013. It is the first Superhero-related project to hit 10,000, and is the 21^st Achieved project on LEGO CUUSOO.

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: Online Instructions or Rebrickable

Does it come in black?

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.

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!

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!
