107 - Bat Boat and Trailer


£33.99

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

To the Batboat Robin

I got the Batmobile and Batboat as a set, as a child. I remember the gold chain slasher and tge gold tow hook
The Batboat that arrived the other was exactly the same as my childhood one many years ago. Outstanding CMC once again you've brought the past to me again. Exceptional details and the trailer will fit both old and new boats

A perfect model. It's like the original.

Batboat

Very nice copy of a fantastic Corgi toy! The only thing that lets this model down in my opinion, is the terrible silver stripe along the bottom of the fin - this should only run along the deck, but on mine & quite a few others Ive seen it runs way too high up onto the actual fin, which again in my opinion, does nothing for the model!
The original never had this stripe & looks so much better! I guess for those that hardly remember the original, this probably doesn’t affect you! A real shame, this & the fact that the fin is just a shiny sticker stop this model from being a true copy!!

Don't miss the (Bat) Boat

Never had this as a kid so glad to have one now. Some concerns about the observations of some other customers that the fin is a sticker over tin or plastic, though it's still a great looking model. However, if Corgi are going to claim that the 'over-spraying' on some models is to make them more authentic, shouldn't they then leave the casting lines on some models and not replace metal parts with plastic ones, as on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? Same goes for tin fins - leave them as tin instead of taking a cheaper option.
