I remember taking it in the back of the station wagon on the trips to Disneyland.<br /><br />We cleaned up my son's room recently (with his help) and found his Batmobile car from the more recent movies. He was going to toss it, and I scooped it for my collection.<br /><br />Also, if any of you have a Roku stick, you can stream the Batman 1967 classic series from the Roku channel. My wife hates it, but it's great to see all of that again.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821956309244395014.post-70612660901915915142021-11-22T15:26:29.554-08:002021-11-22T15:26:29.554-08:00True that...er...bat!True that...er...bat!Stu29573https://www.blogger.com/profile/11476618457938961470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821956309244395014.post-14808506267755189412021-11-19T21:01:48.131-08:002021-11-19T21:01:48.131-08:00The Johnny Lightning version is sweet!

...Corgi was truly the coolest toy car company EVER!<br />When my mom and grandmother drug me along shopping, I was sometmes rewarded with a Corgi bought from Sanger-Harris department store. I can still remember the display case clearly. A white masonite affair with a top with glass doors protecting car samples and sliding doors on the bottom that held the brightly colored boxes. Heaven. <br />I'm pretty sure my original Corgi Batmobile was VERY rough before I finally lost it. I do still have a few childhood Corgis, but not that one (or My Black Beauty).

My brother and I (both huge fans of the 1966 Batman show) had Corgi Batmobiles, and I always loved those things, from the flame that moved in and out, to the "chain chopper" (or whatever it was called), to the missiles that it could launch. Such a great toy, I wish we still had ours... mom probably got rid of them, but they would not be worth much because I'm sure we played with them HARD. I've been tempted to shell out the bucks to buy a vintage example in good condition, but... $$$. I also want a Corgi Yellow Submarine! And a "Black Beauty"! And the James Bond car!

Very cool!<br />Here's a side story- A collector bought one of the original Batmobiles and he needed to change the battery out due to it having sat so long. He couldn't open the hood. The only latch was a push button activated electric release.<br />True? I don't know, but I hope so!Stu29573https://www.blogger.com/profile/11476618457938961470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821956309244395014.post-65204291442610053262021-11-15T11:38:45.216-08:002021-11-15T11:38:45.216-08:00One of the coolest toys that I never had.

Fun memories of playing with that in his driveway…and rolling the car down to the street. The collector in me cringes, but the kid in me knows that it was made to be played with and provided many hours of entertainment for at least a couple of little boys.<br /><br />I surprised my girlfriend once by blindfolding her, driving her to the mall (while playing the Danny Elfman <i>Batman</i> score), leading her into the building, and then removing the blindfold while she was standing in front of one of the touring Batmobiles. I have a Polaroid of us sitting in it. She married me anyway. Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836717368846566211noreply@blogger.com
