Description
My crew and I made this from sheet PVC for the show, Super Fan Builds. It was done in a week for the show for a father and his kid who were both Batman fans. You can see the video of how it was made here:www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX7vZT…

Hey, Tim. It took me a while to find a way to contact you, and apparently this is the best way. I'm seriously inquiring about this build. How much would you charge to replicate this and ship to the east coast (Maryland)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jon, I've been asked about making another Batmoble stroller many times, I paid a crew of 5 people to assist me on that build working 10 to 12 hours a day for 7 days. The materials themselves were about also fairly high including the computer cutting of the sheets of plastic they were made from (a CNC machine is expensive to rent time on). I do still have the original cut files but you can see that building this kind of thing gets very expensive very fast. Working for a production company like I did for the SuperFan Builds made it much easier since they made their money back on their YouTube channel. Millions of views with paid advertising means they made a healthy profit from my work. I think I spent around $12,000 making that piece. Although many people, sometimes several a week, ask about producing something they saw on SuperFan Builds, but so far, when they find out what it actually costs to produce a one of a kind fabrication like that, not one has decided it was worth it to them. If you are still interested in one, I would be happy to make it for you, but the labor costs can get a bit too high for the average fan. It ends up, unfortunately, that only production companies or businesses can afford to have them made because they are set up for making their investment back in the advertising. Thank you for your interest in my work, best of luck, Tim Baker

You can nominate your son by sending a video to the SuperFan-builds page on Youtube. they choose from there. I did all the builds for the first two seasons, but I was injured by a car while walking and i'm just now getting well enough to get back to work. best of luck to you, Tim

Oh noo! I didn't know that you had gotten hurt. I'm glad to hear you're getting better, but I'm sorry it's taking so long! <3 (and really sorry to hear you couldn't keep the show because of it) I'm sure you will come up with something awesome though. With the kind of shit you make the next opportunity can't be too far off!
I'm still in Merced, will be for a couple more years. I don't have a ton of time for making between work and trying to get the hell out of Merced whenever possible, but I always at least have a couple projects going. Dude, I love that you get so much use out of that sporran, makes me really happy to hear

Thanks so much Tim, I tell ya, I loved designing and building all the SuperFan-builds but with such a low budget and tight schedule (one build a week for six weeks), It just wore me out. When I was injured by that can in a parking lot, the emergency room doc said I also clearly had extreme exhaustion... oh well, just getting too old for those kinds of hours anymore

I'd love to, but I could never afford the licensing fees... we got away with it on Super-Fan Builds because we gave the things away.

yeah, was hit by a car, in a parking lot, total hit and run. damaged my lungs, broke ribs and damaged my heart. I had to have open heart surgery and was down 18 months. I'm just now getting back on my feet. Emotionally and physically too. and thank you

I am so, so sorry to learn about that. What a horrible experience :/ I'm sorry I wasn't able to send you at least some kind of support, not knowing. Being someone who spent a good portion of life in hospitals myself, I know it must have been extremely hard experience... you're a true champion to go through it all. I'm just so glad you are getting better now and worse is behind you. Keep healing, my friend, I wish you all the luck and health possible! And if you wanna talk, note me anytime, I'll be happy.
