Notes
This is the first, more desirable issue (1967-70) Batboat with a tinplate fin (later issues had a plastic fin). In very near mint condition.
This Batboat on Trailer is a hard to find variation with very pale blue screens. With bright and fresh complete paper labels on both sides, both seated figures of Batman and Robin and an attractive, beautifully detailed tinplate fin (later issues were plastic). Completedashboard chrome. Bright gold trailer with detailed cast wheels.
This item comes complete with the black towing hook accessory piece which could be used to attach it to the first issue Batmobile (without tow hook).
The card box with atmospheric graphics, is a work of art in itself! Very nice showing very light wear only.
Note that this box issue has ‘National Periodical Publications inc. 1966’ printed, no Spare Tyre information printed on an end flap and no ‘Colour of contents may differ…’
