1966 Mattel, Corgi sized BATMOBILE?

[The Bat]

I've been looking forever for the Mattel medium sized(1:50 scale?)TV Batmobile...has anyone heard anything about a release date?

Thanks, Dane

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's been out for about a year. There's a TV series Batmobile, TV series Batcylce (which is bigger than 1:50 scale, but still designated as such) the original animated series Batmobile, the current comic version, and the Tumbler from Batman Begins/Dark Knight. I finally found the Tumbler last week, it was pretty hard to come by.

At the San-Diego ComicCon, Mattel had an exclusive 3-pack that had the 60s Batmobile, Cycle, and the Batgirl Cycle. I hope they release it separately later.

Check Wal-Mart. That's where I found all of mine.

Yeah, it came out last spring/summer up here in Canada. It was short packed with the animated series Batmobile, Batcycle, and the comic Batmobile. Once in a blue moon the batcycle still pops up, and the animated Batmobile is a peg warmer.

I have one. The only time I ever saw it,.. it was at Fred Myers, up here..
I also have the Hotwheel's size one. The only one to my Knowledge that I am missing is the one with the price tag of 29.99 .

If you are talking about the Corgi one with the action features and removable figures, then the Mattel one that is bigger than the regular HW scale looks to be smaller. The cycle fits right in with my Corgi one. The Corgi I have won't even fit on the card for the HW Batcycle.

Are yoy sure You Guys aren't talking about Corgi's 60's Batmobile(I have that one too)? But I've been watching for the Mattel one since they got the rights...and have not seen in Stores, online, or on eBay????????

[The Bat]

Correction!! I just found a bunch of "66" 1:50 Batmobiles on eBay?????

How big exactly is 1/50th scale? Mattel did make all the Batmobiles mentioned already. Under the "Hot Wheels" name, Mattel has been making different versions of the Batmobile for a few years now. They are all about the same size of about 3 1/4 inches long. I have a few cardes ones and all are dated 2004. Mattel/HotWheels produced the '66 TV Batmobile in this smaller size in 2007. Also in 2007, Mattel/HotWheels produced a bigger size of Batmobiles. The line consists of four different cars and the '66 TV series Batcycle. The Dark Knight Tumbler is the smallest at about 3 1/2 inches long. The rest are all about 4 1/4 inches long and are the '66 TV series Batmobile, Animated Series version and Comic Book style versions.
After reading the back of the cards, looking for the date each card reads "This new Hot Wheels line pays homage to the history of the Batmobile with 5 different 1:50 scale vechicles, using models specific to the Batman movies, comic books animated series, and television show." Hope this helps, sorry I don't know how to post pictures yet.

I don't know what 1:50 scale is either...but I'm hoping it's the exact same size as the Corgi one.

Very funny Jason! But use to own the original Corgi Batmobile...so I remember what size it was! Anyway...I just scored one on evil-Bay...so I'll know soon enough if it's the same.

^^ I still own one, so I can do a pic for you with the HW Batcycle on the card if you want. Pretty sure the scale for the cycle is different than the other vehicles in that series from Mattel.

Yes, I have both of those as well. But what I really wanted most was a Corgi sized one...I really wish they had got the rights instead Mattel.
