Arrived yesterday at Castel Crivens, the reissue of Corgi Toys (singular on the box for some reason) first version of the Batboat And Trailer. I never had this as a kid, so it's good to add it to the collection almost 60 years later. It was supplied with an adaptor for the Batmobile exhaust as the 1966 BM didn't have a tow-hook, though one was added for later editions after the release of the Batboat.
Anyway, for those Crivvies who are into such things, here's a few photos to rekindle your memories if you had this toy back in the day. Feel free to share any reminiscences in the comments section.

I had a set of the Batmobile, the Batcopter and the Batboat. I think I bought it late 70s. I loved it. I sold them when I got married and moved house. The buyer claimed that Robin was missing when he received it and I know damn well that Batman and Robin were both in there but how can you prove something like that? Anyway, nice to see the Batboat again and it's in a great box.
ReplyDeleteI've got an original Batmobile and Bat-copter so it's good to now have all three, M. The Bat-copter was issued in, I think, 1976, though I didn't get mine 'til the early or mid-'90s. (I got my replacement Batmobile in 1991. In fact, I've got two.) I've also got several Corgi reissues of the Batmobile, including the matte version. I expect the Corgi Model Club will reissue the Bat-copter before too long.
