Re: Corgi Club confirms Batmobile reissue in 2024

You must get a deal if you sign up as a member (FREE) because I just looked at my order history from Corgi USA and I paid $32 for a Silver Bond Car and $38 for a Gold One over the course of a few months. Personally I don't care what the price is, to be able to get a MINT in box one for under $100? S...

Re: Updated 1966 Batman cowl by HS

Yours is a million times better, Randy-- but I still dislike the concept.
I'm with Lou-- no more rubber suited black batmen!

Re: Updated 1966 Batman cowl by HS

Jan Kemp looked at the serials when he did Adam's cowl-- and it's as functional as it is beautiful. The modern choice to go rubber was to match the fake muscles in the Keaton suit. Totally impractical and clumsy. It seems like the go-to choice for an entire generation. It is important to note that I...

Re: Updated 1966 Batman cowl by HS

Is HS a company or a customizer? I'm not too fond of the idea of of taking one of the best cowl designs and implementing one of the worst elements of the modern designs (rubber) and putting them together-- even though it doesn't look like Adam's cowl (ears are all wrong, face is all wrong) it does l...

Re: Corgi Club confirms Batmobile reissue in 2024

I agree with all of your sentiments-- cynical forces are at work in some publishing quarters- but like the old Gershwin song, "They can't take that away from me!" for a lot of us-- the classic heroes will always have a place. Whether it be in reprints, vintage books or just our memories, t...

Re: Corgi Club confirms Batmobile reissue in 2024

They've been reissuing for a number of years, and the Bond Car has been very popular. They have well over two dozen re-releases in the Corgi Club-- and this is my kind of club--no membership dues and no obligations to buy anything-- you just get emails saying what's out. I've been buying quite a few...

Re: The Latest Batman Item You've Acquired?

Yeah me too-- the older the better. I just picked up a pair of Auburn Toys rubber Indian Motorcycle policemen, made sometime between 1936-1954. One of the best things about going to Japan is hitting up the thrift shops that sell stuff from the 60s- some real magic in there!

Re: The Latest Batman Item You've Acquired?

Major score! I loved all of the 70s banks-- just got a Galen and Dr Zauis with great colors. I don't think I ever saw any of the Mego Banks back in the day because I would have definitely wanted a Batman if I'd known about it. Amazing to think there was a time before the internet where we didn't kno...

Re: Corgi Club confirms Batmobile reissue in 2024

Yay to the flaws and all-- while I'd rather see a red wheel version over a Batboat I'm just happy they'll be doing it in the first place. I have a couple of their silver 007 Aston Martin's and they are so close to the original I just ordered the Gold One and got it in record time. Be great to make a...

Re: Corgi Club confirms Batmobile reissue in 2024

Neat-O! I would hope they'd use the old molds so that it has all the flaws of the original Corgi-- since we already have screen accurate Hot Wheels and Jada versions a plenty.
Great news either way.

Always liked the Mego banks-- The Joker is rare-- I haven't seen many in the wild either.

Re: The Latest Batman Item You've Acquired?

I had mentioned to Mrs Fish how much I liked Slot Car Race sets when I was but a wee lad-- and she surprised me with a great one-- Scooby Doo Vs Batman! And it's the classic 60s Batman complete with my favorite logo. SCOOBY RACE SET 1.jpeg It's got the great cartoon version of my favorite Batmobile-...

Re: McFarlane Toys doing Batman 66 figures?

Todd is a touch OCD so I can't imagine him not making a Mad Hatter after making the Pink Cowl variant.
