Eaglemoss Classic TV Batmobile



The second issue of Batman Automobilia features THE Classic TV Batmobile . It’s certainly the one I was looking forward to and it doesn’t disappoint.


The display case shows the car parked in the Batcave with a couple of control consoles and a reflector dish.  The 3D lenticular backing  card shows the atomic reactor .



I think it’s a cracking little model and really well detailed. The only downside, as was pointed in a previous post is the wheels don’t turn so no taking the model out and driving it across the carpet.


As a display model it’s great. The cockpit has a tiny bat phone, the bat chute release lever, an accurate steering wheel and dashboard. The seats are even detailed with red piping and bat logos.


Under the turbine afterburner is a detailed number plate.


Well worth the six quid I spent on it.

Next time - The Tumbler from Batman Begins!

Beautiful!
I'm looking forward to purchase the Corgi model from the 60s. Bet this one is much better detailed and 10 times cheaper.

Hmmm..!

Now that's the one I wouldn't mind having. I wonder if Waterstones in Sprout City would stock that...
Fingers crossed -- Paul
