Cool Stuff: Dark Knight Slot Car Toy Set

I never had an electronic remote control racing set as a kid, but if I did, I probably would have loved this one. The Dark Knight Remote Control Electronic Slot Car Racing Set includes 2 three-speed controllers, The Tumbler, and a Police car. Wait, where is The Joker’s 18-Wheeler? And it would be cooler if there were a setting to have the Tumbler break apart to reveal a Batpod underneath. Am I asking for too much? Available for $34.99 on Entertainment Earth.

    good article in the wall street journal today- a1 and a20 - about the glut of films in hollywood right now. too many 13m - 18 m budgets, many going to dvd, that were not INTENDED to. take a look, i think it would be an interesting read for /filmers.

    Batman will never win the race to save Gotham if he's driving round and round on a loop... when will he ever learn?!
  • But does the Batpod pop out when you take a corner too fast and crash?

    Problem with this, and all the other Dark Knight toys is that DK is in no way a kids movie. There's not much in it for kids. It's an adult film that happens to feature a guy in a mask and a guy in makeup, but it's very very dark and unsettling and just not appropriate for the same six year olds that would want this set.

    I'm never one for censorship and I do believe that parents determine what's appropriate for kids, but marketing a whole slew of toys based on this movie makes it a must see for kids and this film is just as dark and intense as movies like Silence of the Lambs, which was R and had no toys. I think its an odd choice.

    Imagine all the kids fighting over who gets the Thumbler...
    Not a good toy to get...

    Even if this is for 8 & up, the Bat Pod would definitely still be deemed a choke hazard. It'd be more of a Hot Wheel/die-cast aimed towards older collectors.
