I'd love the one in the picture on this post, mainly for the box, as it's likely just a repackaged Mattel version (and I've got over a dozen of 'em) - unless it's a 'custom' one, that is.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-54609187754682363102019-08-21T11:21:36.066+01:002019-08-21T11:21:36.066+01:00Yeah it was a Matchbox Kid.

They're very similarly packaged to Matchbox cars as Mattel now own the Matchbox brand. (Or at least, they did the last time I looked.)<br /><br />Update: Just looked on Amazon and saw a Matchbox Batmobile (blue), but as you say, not the TV one.

It was approximately 4 inches long, but this one is a typical 'Matchbox' sized one, around 2 inches or so. If the one you had was 2 inches, then it was either a Husky (made by Corgi) or a Corgi Juniors one, which, initially, I understand were just rebranded Husky's. The Husky Batmobiles also had the Infantino Batman on the base, and I think the first Corgi Juniors had too, though not the later ones.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-9802734583971255732019-08-20T22:11:15.263+01:002019-08-20T22:11:15.263+01:00Kid, I actually had a Batmobile in the late 60'...Kid, I actually had a Batmobile in the late 60's, but I think Corgi might have made it. It's still somewhere in my parents' house. It had the "rocket fire" coming out of the exhaust in the back when you rolled it. On the underside of the body, there was a impression of Batman in Carmine Infantino's famous "hands on hips" pose.Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547751537787941998noreply@blogger.com
