Owning the Corgi Batmobile once again!

[@scotttobekidding4611]

Holy reissue Batman!. Have to nab one myself!

[@davidcundell3491]

So many memories! I had the Batmobile and the DB5 when I was a kid in the 70s. Yet more of all the wonderful items I owned that ended up being thrown away in one of the great ‘you’re growing up now, you don’t need all these toys anyone’ purges. 😢

It's kind of futile, isn't it? I had a lot of stuff, comics and models, mainly, 'vanish' when I left home, and work was done in the loft. I spent a lot of time getting it all back. I guess it will all be slung out when I die. 😆😆😆

Corgi did re release the Green Hornet 'Black Beauty' several years ago. It came with a metal figure of The Green Hornet, but, for some reason, no figures in the car, despite there being a hole for The Green Hornet to fit into. So far as I remember, those are the instructions that came with the original model. That's a revised Batmobile, as the original did not have the tow hook for the Bat Boat.

Glad you said that Brian, as I was watching the video I was sure it was missing from ours.

[@stevesstuff1450]

The very first Batmobile release didn't have the tow hook, however, it was re-released - still with the gold Bat emblem wheels With the tow hook, and in the same style packaging seen with this new version. It also came with the BatBoat/trailer for those that wanted it. Corgi have also issued a new replica of the first 1960s release without tow-hook, and in the older style boxing with the fancy display plinth and solid card box, and with the original style red rockets...but Only through the Corgi Model Collector's Club.... Both of these new models are brand new toolings, scanned from an original sample model by Corgi (see the Workbench entries on their website), and are superbly accurate to the '60s release.

Bought one myself! When it arrives I'll shoot a comparison vid on my channel as well! I own a '78 (April) 267 in pristine condition. Me Gran bought it for me in June of '78. Great vid thanks for sharing!

Ta!

[@Nemo61]

Buaaa, que añoranza de la firma Gorgi, pero veo que este Batmovil esta bastante detallado. Gran adquisicion Sr. y gracias por indicarnos esta novedad.

[@stevenhearnden6103]

I remember having that and a silver DB5. Good times.😊

[@lordred4116]

I remember getting this as a kid in the 60s when Batman first came on our screens.

[@dirkboon3296]

Cool.. i got mine about the same time as you, still haven't unboxed it yet lol

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Well there were no pinstripes painted on the original Batmobile toy, also the instructions are correct from the original model. For the rocket launcher, you have to rotate the trigger forward not backwards!

[@stugreenhalgh6285]

I got one today and was most dissapointed that my instructions and rockets were absent from the box! The car is beautiful I just want to shoot a rocket 🤣 (hopefully the seller gets back with replacement rockets sharpish!)

[@totljag1]

They just made a reissue have u heard about this ? This was my favorite toy as a kid im 59

[@rafvanraevels]

Next one should be the Batboat

[@roybraithwaite9332]

This is overall "very impressive" But the faces on Batman and Robin are just like: made in Hong Kong, *CRAPP!!!!* 😱 Dear, dear, dear, dear. 💀

[@Spaceman719]

This is a remade later model with yellow rockets and tow hook as supposed to the remade earlier model with red rockets no tow hook and display box

[@MonstersOfTheUniverse]

I have the one with the display box and red rocket…. But mine is glossy and i heard they re-released a matte version first , is that right?

[@Spaceman719]

@ lucky!! I just missed out on that one but it’s all good! I don’t think they re-released the matte version but you’re correct on the first one as a matte version. At least I can put a bat boat on the back when that comes out 😆

[@mb751z]

The matte version is the corgi mode club members edition

[@mb751z]

I meant to say the model club

[@michel20088986]

Why are the rockets yellow?do you know….

[@leewhite2195]

Some versions had yellow rockets.There are 3 corgi re-releases.A first version matt black,only available to Corgi model club members.A second version gloss black,no towhook,red rockets,early non window box (same as #1 except gloss),available through the corgi model club site.And the one in the video,which is the 3rd version with towhook and later style window box,available from the main corgi site,and in shops as I understand. The one I had as a child was the late seventies whizz wheels (4th) version with plastic moulded silver wheels/tyres ,tow hook and static flame.That version hasn't been re-released and I suspect won't be as it's considered not as desirable (but would be to me).
