107 - Bat Boat and Trailer


€40,95

Introduced into the Corgi range in 1967 – after the Bat Boat appeared in the previous year’s Batman movie – the problem of hitching the iconic boat to Corgi’s original 1966 Batmobile (which didn’t have a tow-hook) was solved by a small plastic sleeve that fitted neatly over the Batmobile’s turbo exhaust.

Based on Corgi’s existing Dolphin 20 Cabin Cruiser on a die-cast trailer (that was hitched to a Buick Riviera in Gift Set 31), the early Corgi Bat Boat can be distinguished from the later ‘Whizzwheels-era’ version by the graphics and Batman logo on the fin, flame graphics on the sides of the hull and a beacon cage between the Batman and Robin figures.

This Corgi Model Club edition of the Bat Boat replicates the much sought-after first issue – complete with the plastic sleeve coupler and the original’s iconic illustrated box.

The early edition Corgi Bat Boat was also available as part of a gift set together with the ‘tow-hook’ Batmobile.

Size: (including die-cast trailer): Length: 130mm x Width: 50mm x Height: 65mm

Really pleased that CMC have produced this as it is great to have it paired with my original batmobile as I never owned an original batboat.
The trailer seems a perfect replica of the 60's version and it looks great on display. The box art is fantastic too. Slightly disappointed that the "tin fin" is a sticker and not printed tin plate but that is not going to prevent me leaving 5 stars for this one!

Holly Bikini !

Merci Corgi ! Je suis de retour dans les années 60 de mon enfance, Fan de la série TV, de la Batmobile et du Batboat "première génération" avec son coupleur de remorque à la brève et donc rare existence que Corgi toys sortaient à l'époque et avec lesquels j'ai tellement joué. J'ai eu aussi la version suivante de la Batmobile avec son crochet fixe, certes plus pratique mais pour moi moins esthétique. Holly Bikini !

The last time I actually held one of these in my hands was over 50 years ago , I’m so happy to be a member of this amazing club that is Corgi , in a world full of problems it is so nice to be taken back to a childhood memory that was so long ago , and yet seems like yesterday when something like a Corgi model can make you feel so nostalgic, I love all your models and can’t wait to see what you have in store over the coming months and years , well done and thank you for bringing these beautiful toys back to life and in our lives again.

Not so 'Tin Fin'?

'Tin Fin' version? Looks like a plastic fin with a sticker on it to me.
