Knight Models have done a Batman game

[leonmallett]

I compared to a typical size human from Pulp City, and Batman was half to a full head taller than the example minis.

At a guestimate using a grid overlay on the Joker, I think that mini (Joker) will be around 35-38mm.

Wow that's quite the size difference. If they're that much bigger than even the Pulp City figures I won't be able to use them at all. :S

Well, it was said on KM site back in the day before the game that Bats is "35 mm scale" so that stands to reason that he's a reasonably big guy even by today's scale creepy standards. What is the Pulp City declared scale?

Thanks HB; the translation has me scratching my head a little though, LOL.

I don't know ANY Spanish at all so had to rely on Google Translate.
I think people can still get the idea of what it says though

It sounds close enough to the KM game concept to be a very thinly veiled rip-off.

Anyone have Batman yet to do some comparison scale shots?

[tnjrp]

Supervike reportedly has two but he's not presented any pictorial evidence yet

It would be interesting to get some of those "new 28mm" = 32mm scale figs in the pix, as well as a HeroClix mini. Hint hint. Nudge nudge.

I'm up for this, sculpts are lovely.

It does come with a big load of minis but I hardly can think of any use for the board game components. Also, I'm not quite sure yet what to think of the fact that both BMG and GoC have essentially the same concept (tho of course a different mechanic). Obviously ideas aren't copyrightable but this still seems like Hollywood-scale coincidence AKA someone's copying someone's idea.

[supervike]

Yep, I certainly do have Batman.

I'll do some shots up tonight after work.

He towers of Hasslefree stuff. 

I'm excited for the line, It matters little to me that they won't scale up perfectly with most of my stuff.

[Hat Guy]

Ugh, I'll be taking the quality hit on the clix I think.

Thx. Looks to be one of them newfangled 32mm models at heart so I guess the declared 35mm scale is top-of-the-head.

The price is still a bit high tho. Must mull this over.
