Corgi Gift Set 3
Corgi Gift Set 3 Batmobile & Batboat Set. Most sought-after 1st version. Very, very near mint - mint/boxed, with over-sleeve. With full Secret Instruction Packet. From The Old School Collection.
Notes
A most desirable scarce Corgi set and a difficult find in any condition.
Particularly susceptible to damage is the very attractive large colourful window box with a winged header card. This colourfully-illustrated 1st issue has plenty of atmospheric artwork (with absolutely no sunfading!) on the complete and crisp, intact header card. All end flaps are present and firmly attached, although note there is a small repaired tear emanating from one end flap. Small corner edge ruffle. Original cellophane has a very small tear. . Colours have lost none of their vibrancy. and the card has a silky, barely handled feel.
Lots of information on the box reverse.
This set comprises:
1) Corgi 267 Batmobile with both original seated figures of Batman and Robin. This is the tow hook version (correct for this set). Intact blue screens. Suspension on ‘Bat wheels’. Appears never to have been removed from the box. Bright Bat logos on the wheels and complete and bright Bat logos at both sides of the Batmobile. Original aerial intact.
2) Corgi 107 Batboat. Early issue with the attractive tin fin, sitting on a cast-wheeled gold trailer. Complete paper labels on both sides of the boat. Both original seated figures, still banded in place. Small marking to tow ring.
Both items sit in a yellow plastic inner, which is notably intact. Extremely difficult to find this good.
Complete with an original complete, clean and fresh Instruction Packet, unused, so a complete sprue of fluorescent red missiles, clean, pristine Batmobile Instructions, pristine Features Leaflet, pristine badge.
Also included is the original plain buff over-sleeve (which has a stain in one area. ).
