Bat Boat and Trailer (107)


$45.99

Introduced into the Corgi range in 1967 – after the Bat Boat appeared in the previous year’s Batman movie – the problem of hitching the iconic boat to Corgi’s original 1966 Batmobile (which didn’t have a tow-hook) was solved by a small plastic sleeve that fitted neatly over the Batmobile’s turbo exhaust.

Based on Corgi’s existing Dolphin 20 Cabin Cruiser on a die-cast trailer (that was hitched to a Buick Riviera in Gift Set 31), the early Corgi Bat Boat can be distinguished from the later ‘Whizzwheels-era’ version by the graphics and Batman logo on the fin, flame graphics on the sides of the hull and a beacon cage between the Batman and Robin figures.

This Corgi Model Club edition of the Bat Boat replicates the much sought-after first issue – complete with the plastic sleeve coupler and the original’s iconic illustrated box.

The early edition Corgi Bat Boat was also available as part of a gift set together with the ‘tow-hook’ Batmobile.

Size: (including die-cast trailer): Length: 130mm x Width: 50mm x Height: 65mm

Holy Batboat!!

My Batboat is are exactly just like the one I had in 1968! People are complaining that it is made of plastic but that is how the original was made.

Disappointing, Boat is made of plastic

Was really looking forward to this, ordered back in June. Finally arrived today and at first I thought the box may have been empty it was so light. Big miss on Corgi Model Club’s part. The trailer is die-cast but the entire boat is plastic. The decorations are peeling stickers. $3 Chinese toy not a $45 collectible. The Batmobile is a clear winner. Was hoping this would be the same. It’s not.

Not quite what I expected but probably my own fault

I received my Batboat today and thought immediately, gosh, this thing is light! I did not realize that the entire boat was plastic and that *only* the trailer was diecast. I really thought the vehicle (like every other Corgi vehicle I own) would be mostly metal, like the Batmobile (of which re-release was absolutely gorgeous and amazing!) it connects to. Not sure I would have sprung for it if I knew it was a full-plastic boat ahead of time, but again, I'm sure I just missed that detail somewhere.
