Batman gets Dick Van Dyke To Replace Robin in The Batmobile.
This is a toy Corgi car from my childhood. Oh the joy of firing the rear mortars and 'cutting' 'chains; with that front metal cutter! I think the scale is 1/48 (Warhammer scale). Unfortunately Robin has long since gone AWOL.
Recently I obtained a Dick Van Dyke - thanks Brian - as well as another Batman for a different vehicle. I don't remember the character's name but he was the driver of Chittychittybangbang. As I don't have the car if anyone has a Robin to swap for him please let me know. The new pal is a little big for the vehicle anyway.

ReplyDeleteHis name was Caractacus Potts - interestingly the original book was written by Ian Fleming. I had the Batmobile toy car as a child too.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been in a ‘real’ Batmobile! In the distant 1970s a Ford dealer in Scotland built it on a Mk3 Cortina platform. No firing rockets though.....
ReplyDeleteThose gizmo cars are very cool and how wonderful to have life size ones to travel in! Another one I liked was the Munsters vehicle.
DeleteThanks for the info.
