TEXAS TOY MAN

Corgi-Batmobile-Number 0267

The “Corgi” name is a registered trademark of Playcraft Toys. Playcraft Toys began production in 1956 and are still in production today.

The 5-1/2 inch Batmobile pictured in this article was made in 1966 and in  several variations, all with very subtle differences, i.e. color, hub caps , cutter, etc.

The Corgi Rocket Firing Batmobile featured here has the following:

• Black color/red side logo
• Chain cutter
• Rocket tubes
• Springs suspension
• Batman embossed on chassis
• Red `bat hubs’
• Batman and Robin removable figures
• Made in Great Britain
• Blue windshield
• Jet exhaust-wheel activated
• Original box number 267
• Original operating guide

If you have any other variation of the Batmobile that is different from the one pictured in my blog please send me a picture of your Batmobile and I will be happy to include it in my next Corgi post.
