Some recent '66 Batmobile finds from Hot Wheels.

Gold with purple windshield & stripes

Dark blue with clear blue windshield & blue flames. I believe this is part of Walmart exclusive Batman series.

Amazing that Hot Wheels is still making these. How long have they been doing them? They got the license in what, 2004?

2006, but still! They’re getting every penny out of scanning the #1 car.

New one found in the wild. It's another shrunken or "tooned" model, burnt orange metal flake paint, orange windshield, orange stripes. Not one of my favourites.

I love that little Batmobile. Wish the would do a model of the intro car of the 66 show.

Something like these rare German made Batmobiles. Photo by John Pennyworth

I wonder if you could modify an old Avon Batmobile to look like the intro car?

Yet another color variant BATMOBILE that I will buy over and over. lol
I wish Hotwheels would add 66 based sets to these countless versions of the car. Backdrops or stands of some such.
