Daily Selection｜ Other Products ｜Bat Boat and Trailer (107)

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
