Description: Here we offer the classic Sixties toy-- a genuine original Corgi Batmobile, along with a set of missiles and a great collection of ephemera.This is the fourth version of the model with silver wheel hubs, tow hook, stationary jet exhaust (does not move,) mechanical chain slasher, and mechanical triple missile launcher. All the mechanical functions work perfectly. This Batmobile is solid--it retains the original factory weld and has never been rebuilt. It has very little playwear and no paint touch-ups (please see close-up pics). The suspension is poor and the aerial is missing, which is common for this item, but the windshields are in good condition. The car rolls smoothly. Batman and the Boy Wonder are (very high-quality) repro parts.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, 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?
