Original Corgi Batmobile from 1970's

[MIB41]

The Corgi Batmobile and Batboat gift set is one of my prized possessions. This particular example is an import. I can't even begin to count how many of the Corgi Batmobiles I went through as a kid. They tended to be something I got after I had caught the flu or some other illness that laid me up for a spell. They were certainly the right medicine for an aching body.

I have one in poor shape. I really should sell it on eBay one of these days.
I also have the gold finger Aston Martin which was reissued for GoldenEye.
Corgi used the same mold 30 years later.

No idea. I have a vintage Corgi catalog somewhere but no idea where at the moment.

Did'nt they also have a UFO Interceptor( from UFO TV show), a couple of the Thunder Birds, and Pink Panther car.
I use to try to look at these( at a store called Gothchalks as a kid in the 70's) but an ANGRY Toy dept lady used to make us leave if are parents were'nt with us

The Black Beauty is incredibly rare.

There was also a James Bond Aston Martin with working ejector seet and other neat gadgets. And a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with pop out wings.

I have the Batmobile, the Bond Car, and the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

I also have some of the early 2000s batmobiles by Corgi, and while they don't have as many gimmicks as the original, they're still good, and some DO have the figures.

As for why they don't reproduce it? Who knows. Originals can be had reasonably if you do some digging. But the better shape (and more complete) they are, the more expensive they get.

Why has no one reproduced the Corgi Batmobile from 1970's with mini figures of Batman and Robin. I also remember a
corgi vehicle with mini figures of Superman ,Aquaman, Batman ,and Robin all in one car with a Superfriends theme.
The more modern corgi Bat vehicles from 1990's were not as good and lacked the figures that fit into the vehicles.
There was also a Black Beauty with mini Green Hornet and Kato that I saw in a toy store display case( full of corgi's )as a kid
