Description: Here we offer the classic Sixties toy-- a genuine original Corgi Batmobile, along with a special collector's fantasy box, a set of missiles, and a great collection of ephemera. This is the second version of the model with gloss paint, mechanical pulsating jet exhaust, the red Bat-logo hubs, the mechanical chain slasher, triple missile launcher, and no tow hook yet. This Batmobile has not been repaired or touched-up. It is in good condition with some playwear (please see pics.) The antenna is missing and the Robin character is a very high-quality reproduction part.This classic Corgi originally came in an oversized box, stuffed with a plynth--a fanciful display stand that wilted over time. Many collectors have a particular affection for the traditional Corgi box, which the toy store owner would retrieve by referencing the number displayed on its end flap, removing it from a glass-doored cabinet that was stacked high with boxes. You'd open the end flap, and the heavy car would roll into your palm.That said, rather than including a faithful repro box, (which can be easily purchased cheaply on eBay,) I've included here a "fantasy" box in the style of the older Corgi boxes, without the ungainly plynth or plastic window, but using the Batmobile graphics --a very stylish accessory this addition to your collection deserves--and something you will only find here. This high-quality box is wide enough so that the Batmobile can display on top, with the main box graphics showing. All other Corgi Batmobile graphics for this model are included among the instructions.Also included with your purchase is a wonderful collection of ephemera to compliment your Corgi Batmobile: Batmobile instructions & envelope; Batmobile owner's badge (a paper peel-off sticker,) 2 different Corgi Batmobile promo cards, copy of the US patent for George Barris's classic Batmobile design, a corgi club offer plus miniature certificate, and, of course, 4 missiles--these are all repro or fantasy parts.This item will make a splendid addition to a classic Corgi collection or a very special gift for a very special boy (free laminated Batbookmark and signed snapshot of Batman and the Boy Wonder included!)Please click HERE to see our other great rare classic Corgis and our customized Batcopter!Please click HERE to see our full shelf of awesome antique and vintage toys!Please click HERE to see our other great comic-themed items.** Have you seen all the amazing first and rare editions of iconic books we offer?
