Batmobile is Back… Holy Recreations Corgi

CORGI Toys 267 Batmobile is back in the die cast range, it hasn’t had that accolade for forty years. Following success of recent classic re-releases including the Captain Scarlet (Classic) – Spectrum Pursuit VehicleStingray and Thunderbird 2, this Batmobile, based on the ride from the 1966 TV show has all the classic gadgets of the original – firing rockets, Batboat tow hook and a pop out chain slasher blade. It is out now, £40 of your hard-earned for the shelfworthy specimen that has Batman and Robin figures and the entire thing wrapped up in classic packaging.

Does this put a dent in the actual vintage market? Some collectors might have some words to say but those wanting a classic Batman ride at an affordable price will speak louder with their actions than the any purists as they grab one uttering *“With My Three-Seconds-Flat-Bat-Combination-Unscrambler, Commissioner.”
