Corgi Batbike "C268" : 1978 - 1983

Third version - with black fairing and black wheels

 

 

The Batbike was a Corgi #268.

Boxes included 12 yellow missiles and no instruction sheet, etc.

The "1983" box was predominately black, yellow and red, this box was intended to have a header card attached to it.

 

The Batboat wasn't a very good seller, especially the later version. There wasn't any features on it like the Batmobile, and given the choice most children went for the Batmobile. The Batboat was cancelled in 1981, along with the Batcopter, which wasn't a good seller and looked nothing like the tv series one. For me personally, whilst i own the Batcopter and the Batbike, they aren't my favourites. Corgi tried to expand its batman range in 76 with the penguinmobile and the jokermobile, but these didn't sell well either
