As someone who has been hunting for this piece of childhood magic for years, I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes when I discovered the Corgi Authentic Re-issue Batmobile with Batman and Robin - Gloss Black Edition (267) was being reissued. I had been combing through eBay listings forever, trying to find an original in near-mint condition—only to see prices climb into the hundreds and even thousands of dollars. It felt like a grail that would always be just out of reach.
Then this reissue dropped… and wow.
Corgi absolutely nailed it. The attention to detail is outstanding—it’s a beautifully crafted facsimile of the original late-1960s release, right down to the classic styling and that iconic glossy black finish. Even better, it comes complete with its 1960s-era packaging, which is practically impossible to find intact these days. The box alone is a time machine.
The moment I held it, I was transported straight back to my childhood—Saturday afternoons, the excitement of that unmistakable silhouette, and the pure joy of imaginative play. The nostalgia factor here is off the charts, but beyond that, the quality truly stands on its own.
Being able to purchase this brand new, with authentic retro packaging, at such a reasonable price feels like a small miracle for collectors and fans alike. I was so thrilled I didn’t just buy one—I bought two.
If you’ve ever loved this classic, don’t hesitate. This reissue is everything you hoped it would be and more.
Exactly like I remembered, plus a couple things I forgot. Opening the package felt like being transported back in time.
