Introduced in time for Christmas 1967, this first issue of the GS3 gift set famously combined the second version of the Batmobile (featuring a tow hook) with the iconic ‘tin fin’ first edition of the Bat Boat.
Each model was presented with Batman and Robin figures – which when displayed together featured the unusual sight of Batman and Robin in both cockpits! To avoid that visual anomaly, this special Corgi Model Club edition has all four figures included separately, thus allowing you to position them as you wish.
Corgi collectors will know the 1967 GS3 box for its unique illustrated header card – which folded flat, allowed it be sent to retailers without damage. The box also included a yellow plastic insert to hold the models in position. Later versions of the GS3 set omitted both the illustrated header and the yellow insert.
Included with this model is the die-cast metal trailer, operating instructions, lapel sticker, 12 x yellow rockets, two sets of Batman and Robin figures and the all important individually numbered Corgi Model Club certificate of authenticity.
