Corgi renovation Batmobile No. 267. Toy model cast.

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- The Mittoy company, the owner of the Corgi brand, started the production of a very complex Batmobile cast model in 1966. This model had five versions and was still produced in the 1970s. It was very technologically advanced. He had a chainsaw in the front of the hood, rockets behind the car and active suspension.
To display the subtitles in your language in the movie, please press C on the computer or the three dots on the mobile phone in the movie.
Very carefully made figures of Batman and Robin additionally increased the interest in this model among children. My copy was in a residual condition. The metal of the front of the body was broken. I rebuilt the missing part with liquid metal. I also cast Batman and Robin figures out of polyurethane resin. I made new wheels because the old ones were very damaged.
I was able to do all of this thanks to my friends who sent me copy parts for my model. The Batmobile box was very advanced, it had a display insert and a user manual, a club card for young fans of the Batman series and an iron-on t-shirt with the Batman logo. Thank you for watching the movie, I publish videos with the repair of cars on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

"Holy restoration, Batman!"
Thank you very much
That's Hilarious, great comment!!!
WINNER
POW!
B:huh? R: Holy…because its full of holes. B: Oh
At 14:28, as the characters were slowly covered in pink goo, all I could hear was William Dozier saying, "Will the dynamic duo escape in time? Tune in next week for 'No Ooze is Good Ooze,' same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!"
Holy goo, Batman!
What about commissioner Gooden?
Cool restoration. Ironically my mother worked at the Corgi factory in Swansea in the 1960s and assembled that Bat Mobile. 🙂
Thank you very much . Cool
I have one not twenty feet away from me in the garage. Thanks Cymru-am-byth's mum! Sorry I bashed it up so badly
i could be wrong but does anyone else remember there being 3 red pellets that could be fired from the rocket launchers behind the cockpit ?
Yes and if memory serves me right, no spares.. Soon lost forever..
i had one of these when i was a kid, brings back memories, you could put matches in the launcher and LAUNCH EM!
Cool
Great work but no cigar...missing the day glow red pinstripes and red bat- symbol of correct style. Why go to such pains to only miss on such trivial points? The box and everything else is a work of art.
Exaaaactly! I was wondering the same thing. The Corgi never had the red pin stripes (at least not the ones I owned from the late 1960's and the one I still own from '78) but the red side bat logos are still made and can be purchased.
The bat emblem on the door is wrong. It is a red-orange bat that is supposed to match the pinstripes on the car. I had an original Corgi Batmobile when I was young. And it had rubber tires and with pot metal wheels that also had orange bats on them.
The one in the video is the later edition without bat logo on the wheels. Neither that one or the earlier one had the red pinstripes on like the actual Batmobile. This really annoyed me as a child so I painted some on it which, although a bit DIY certainly brought it to life. Still got it, perished tyres and all.
was supposed to be a red bat on the door to match the original, no?
OMG!!!! i had that Batmobile when i was a kid!!! I remember the little flame shooting in and out when you moved the car forward and the little rockest that shot up with the metal wheel on the back! what great memories!
memories are the most important. Best wishes
I had it as well!
Well yes, but how about a _demonstration_ of the "rocket launcher" or the "bumper cleaver" or the "exhaust flame" features..?? I mean, that's what was _cool_ about this model. Firing lit matches from the rocket launcher. Those were the days.
Hah yeah, house full of "smokers" and wool rugs so even the worst burn was just overlooked as "smurf bites". 😉The little red(?) plastic rice like 'rockets' got lost pretty fast, so after that it was a natural progression to the most dangerous thing you could ping out of there, occasionally if you got the placement right, you could set off a paper cap and fire a pin out of it. Yup, back when the only cure for boredom was finding new ways to permanently disable yourself with the most innocuous of items. 🤣
Those were the reasons I watched. I had one of these cars as a kid and I was waiting to see it's mechanical features demonstrated on this video.
Another stunning restoration paul absolutely beautiful I remember my brother owning this model one of the Corgi greats brings back so many childhood memories once again thank u for sharing your amazing skills
Thank you very much
14:29 - the point of the video where the announcer says "Will Batman and Robin survive the vile vats of goo?? Has this villain beat our dynamic duo once and for all!??!?!!?!? Find out tomorrow, same bat time same bat channel!!!"
I read that in the announcers voice
Cool
@Powerflinch Someone beat ME to it months ago! :D
@@alteredstateskustom !!YES!!
Great job! That was a ton of work. It looks a bit incomplete without the red trim, though.
Thank you very much Antonio
Boa Noite Paul !
Que Restauração Trabalhosa Mas Em Compensação Ficou Magnífico .
Muito obrigado
Wow... I had that toy as a kid and felt this in my soul. Serious nostalgia.
I had one of these when I was a kid. Literally can't believe you even did the box. Mine was from "Santa" and it made a home in my Batman Lunch box.
Cool
Great restoration, except no red lines and wrong Bat symbol.
Thank you very much
Wrong Bat sign on the door. It's the Burton's Batman sign but car is Adam West's. Actual sign is the red one.
I still have this exact one. To be honest it is my sons now
you could hook the bat boat on to the back of it.
Exactly, I just don't have it yet
This is so great! I still have mine with the figurines, got it in the early 70s - but the tires on mine are red. Paint is very worn from them but the blade still pops down! Don't have the rockets anymore thought. I have the boat as well. I really admire the amount of skill & detailed work you put into this project, great job!
Thank you very much Scott
Holy shite....These algorithms have access to parts of my childhood that I'd completely forgotten about...!!!
Cool
Wow, I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid. I had the American version, which came with the Batboat on a trailer, which is why there's a hook on the back of the Batmobile.
The german version, too.
I was completely with you until you changed the color of the bat symbol
Cool
Fantastic job restoring an iconic Batmobile 👍
I remember having one of these as a kid in the 80s. The rockets had been lost, of course, but replaced with matchsticks
Thank you very much
I can hear boy wonder saying “ Holy crap Batman lm drowning in this silicone bath “
What car doesn’t look cool in shiny black paint!
Great Resto job
Merry Christmas
Thank you very much John
I had that toy, mint in box. Came with little yellow missiles, Batman and Robin!
My mother gave it to my nephew who destroyed it no time!!
oh, that's a pity
14:25 Looked like the ending of a Batman episode. "Are the caped crusaders doomed? Tune in next week, saaame bat-time, saaame bat-channel!"
Yep!
I had this as a kid, I remember the rockets. Nice work
So did I; if I recall correctly, I also had the Green Hornet's car.
Thank you very much
wow this guy got the hands of a surgeon , great restoration and this is harder than he makes it look .
Thank you very much
You're restoration was amazing, but the most impressive part was you were able to find the full packaging and instructions to repro. That blew my mind!
Thank you very much
Why no red paint?
Yes! the two I have are painted red & black,clever restoration though & he found the original box.
I bought an old brass floor lamp at a yard sale years ago, and just this morning I laid it on its side to polish it. One of these batmobile toys is lodged sideways into a little groove in the underside of the base. I can't imagine how some kid managed to get it in there so tightly...I've tried hard to dislodge it, and it's not coming out.
I love your comment man haha :D! Everybody discovered things like this when we buy used stuff
このバットモービルが レトロみたいな感じで カッコいいです 良くこの状態で 持ちましたね
見事に修復成功ですねΣ(￣ロ￣lll)
どうもありがとうございます。
Holy cast In plaster Batman ! Can batman and Robin survive ? Stay Tuned , same Bat time Same Bat channel ....
Cool
Awesome restoration, but where are the rockets, the first thing every kid looses, lol😊
Thank you very much
Yep lost mine in about 30 mins 1966 😂
I had the same car toy when I was little
Oh yes, I remember it myself however got it as new in the early 1980s.
Oh yeah! I have this exact toy from my father and I've been thinking about restoring it, but had no clue what to do so this is precious!
Cool
I had one of these when I was young. That brings memories. Things were much better then.
Cool
hey, you forget to put the matchsticks in the mortar launcher! its not complete without the matchsticks
I actually had one of these when I was a little kid.
Cool
On the sides are the incorrect logo's. The logo's are of the 1989 Batman movie.
WOW i had one forgot about till now
Cool
I've been restoring these for almost twenty years. You can get replacement parts from Steve Flowers in the UK.
Cool
*Failed to demonstrate the mechanism.*
I used to own this as a kid. I also had the Bat Boat on a trailer and the Bat Helicopter.
Cool
I had this toy
Cool
No offense, but you missed out on a golden opportunity. You could've made it a stock Lincoln Futura.
Thank you very much
All the parts you included ended up with no function at all?! Batman now looks like he is molten cheese. why not repaint the original figures?
give it a thumbs up bish boi!
I had this as a kid. Used to use matchsticks as rockets.
That was the 80s, so it had already notched a few years up by then. Think it's still around somewhere.
Cool
I'd forgotten the box and suddenly I was 7 again.
Wow!
Cool
Ah, the famous Batmobile. Every boy in school wanted one.
Cool
Nice to see someone take their time and special care in their work. It shouldn’t matter to anyone else that it takes away the originality or a decal was different. It’s YOUR car.
Had one of them in 77 had the trailer speed boat and helicopter
Cool
I had this one when I was a kid. Nice job.
Cool. Thank you very much
"Holy forgot to do the 3 missiles, Batman"
I used to have one similar...I think it was Corgi...you pushed a button on the back and Batman and Robin would pop up alternatively and shoot...loved it
Cool
Wow, truly Expert Level restoration. Very impressive. I've loved the 267 since 1970, when I was 5 years old and my neighbor had one. I was so taken with it that when eBay became a thing it was one of the first things I bought. Let me know if you ever take on outside work. Again, great job, it was fascinating to watch.
Thank you very much
Legendarny samochód...
(Właściwie dwa, ponieważ Batmobil z serialu telewizyjnego był kiedyś przerobionym Lincolnem Futurą z '55 roku, ale był też Chev Impala z '58 roku, który został przerobiony na Batmobil).
A teraz jest Batmobil autorstwa Paula👍🏼😁.
Świetna robota, jestem zachwycony.
Nawet brakująca część podwozia nie stanowi problemu😎👍🏼.
A "ekipa" powstała w tym samym czasie...😁
Ja też miałam ten model jako dziecko (tylko bez Batmana i Robina... jakoś obaj "zniknęli"🤔🙄).
Dziękuję za podzielenie się, drogi Pawle, zdecydowane kciuki w górę ode mnie 👍🏼
(Miło jest znów zobaczyć wspomnienia z dzieciństwa).
Życzę Tobie i Twojej rodzinie miłego weekendu i pozostańcie bezpieczni i zdrowi.
Pozdrowienia z miejsca, gdzie stoi mała latarnia morska, a morze łączy się z Łabą.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
A legendary car...
(Actually two, because the Batmobile of the TV series was once a converted 55 Lincoln Futura but there was also a 58 Chev Impala that was converted into a Batmobile).
And now there is a Batmobile by Paul👍🏼😁.
Great work, I'm thrilled.
Even a missing chassis part is no problem😎👍🏼.
And the "crew" was made at the same time...😁
I also had the model as a child (only without Batman and Robin... somehow they both "disappeared"🤔🙄).
Thanks for sharing my dear Paul, definitely a thumbs up from me for this 👍🏼
(It's nice to see memories from childhood again).
Have a great weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound.
Greetings from where the little lighthouse stands and the sea merges with the Elbe river.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Ein legendäres Auto...
(Eigentlich zwei, denn das Batmobil der Fernsehserie war einmal ein umgebauter 55er Lincoln Futura aber es gab auch einen 58er Chev Impala der zum Batmobil umgebaut wurde)
Und nun gibt es ein Batmobil von Paul👍🏼😁
Tolle Arbeit, ich bin begeistert.
Selbst ein fehlendes Chassisteil ist kein Problem😎👍🏼
Und die "Besatzung" wurde gleich mit angefertigt...😁
Ich hatte das Modell als Kind auch (nur ohne Batman und Robin... irgendwie sind die Beiden "verschwunden"🤔🙄)
Vielen Dank fürs teilen mein lieber Paul, von mir ganz klar ein Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼
(Es ist schön, Erinnerungen aus der Kindheit wiederzusehen)
Dir und deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund und munter.
Gruß von dort wo der kleine Leuchtturm steht und das Meer in die Elbe übergeht.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Vielen Dank Paul
14:26 You'll never get away with your dastardly deed Joker!
Cool
I had a Corgi Batmobile back in the day. Loved it!
Cool
Same bat time, same bat channel.
Excellent. That made me chuckle and I had to repeat in the accent of the day!
Very nice restoration. This version had the towing hook extension on the turbine exhaust for the Bat Boat on a trailer, which could be bought separately or a combined boxed set. Models without the hook had the exhaust flame connected to a crank on the rear axle that pulsed the flame in and out of the exhaust as the car moved.
Thank you very much
I've got a smaller version of that in a Hot Wheels case up in my attic. When my nephew comes to visit, I let him play with them.
Cool
I have this batman car when i was 7 years old. Now I am 62
me too!
Dinky and corgi cars are the best during the 60s and early 70s. I missed those years when i was a boy and my parent used to buy for me all this wonderful cars.
Even the paper work. Wow that wonderful
Thank you very much James
Hey Paul I Also like how Redid the Original Batmobile Also.
The only thing missing is the packet of red rockets.
I had one of those as a child, brings back memories of the good old days from the early 80s when life seemed so innocent and fun, how I miss those days!
Cool
I had this toy. I also had the plastic Bat-boat and trailer that it pulled. Sadly they're long gone.
Cool
I actually had one of those when I was a kid.
Thanks for the memory. 👍
Cool
Mixing the red pinstripes , but great job
Thank you very much
If u ever do another batmobile, u could put the original decals red on it. From the sledgemaster
I had one 😊
Cool
Should be red Bat symbol and red pinstripes . Lots of replacement. As opposed to restoration . But lots of effort put into the job. Nice.
Thank you very much
`anyone else remember having this exact "car" but flying it around the house as though it was a spaceship?
me.. are they worth anything today"
While of course chanting
"Danna Danna - Danna Danna
Danna Danna - Danna Danna
Batman - Batman - BATMAN!"
InSane how you can do that tiny detail paint work on the figurines. I was holding my breath watching you put the buttons on Robin.
I'd have been tempted to add the red-orange pinstripe edging
Cool
I used to have this model, Kinda remember it shoots matchsticks out
Exactly - at least mine did
the saw on front was menacing. i had the small and the bigger version of this corgi classic. recall being able to launch matchsticks out of the back of one of them
Cool
I fired one and it went in my older brother's ear. He had to go to the doctor to get it removed.
@@PaulRestorer
Cool.
Watching his work is like Zen meditation 😉.I'm just wondering, why did you remake the tires and such , and not just give them a new paint ?
thank you very much. Maybe it wasn't very noticeable. But those tires were badly damaged except for the one I copied
@@PaulRestorer Yes that makes sense. Thanks for explaining.
Yeah... [sigh...] I had a Corgi Batmobile, it ended-up in much the same state... But at least the Dynamic Duo kept all the bad villains under control in our house and garden. If the odds seemed stacked against them, they often called in reinforcements from Spectrum (SPV/FPV), or S.H.A.D.O (Mobile/Interceptor). and keeping tabs were always; HM Secret Service (Bond in his Gold Aston Martin). If things got even tougher, then Greenhornet and International Rescue (FAB One) would show up and when it seemed like there was no hope for the Caped Crusader and his athletic assistant, then there was always Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang and The Pink Panther (in his pink 'Trimobile') to finally bring the baddies to justice.
.
Meanwhile.... On the other side of the world (garden), hundreds of Airfix 1:72 German soldiers are dug-in, on the top of 'Hill Foxtrot' (the rockery), in well fortified bunkers, with 88mm AA and numerous mg nests and dug-in Panzers. Down slope, advanced units of various Allied detachments are getting into position to storm 'Hill Foxtrot'.... As they set-up forward operations, a flotilla of reinforcing landing craft are approaching across the vast green sea (lawn), this is the main invasion force, of US marines, British Commandos, French Resistance and Russian Cossacks.... (Always good for fight Cossacks, even when everyone else is running around the battlefield in armoured vehicles...). Overhead, full air superiority is maintained by squadrons of Spitfires, Hurricanes, Moscquitos, P38, P47, P51, a Yak, a Lavochkin and a DC3 carrying a stick of the 1st Paras.
.
Alone.... Way out over the vast green sea, a lone Sunderland FB patrols for marauding U-boots. Whilst on the patio air-base, several allied heavy bombers await scramble.
.
Meanwhile..... Hidden in his own dug-out F.O.P sat motionless, in full camouflage, his steely-grey eye focussing down a telescopic sight at the Lilliputian battle scene unfolding around the neighbouring rockery, with indifferent curoisity. Idly, he (Action Man) swivels his sniper rifle, as something has caught his eye, further afield. He adjusts focus and gulps... Oops, things are going to get hot... Here comes the family cat! I'm off....
very nice comment right now I'm working on Black Beauty
Still have this toy to this day alot better shape tho. But wow looks good now great job
Thank you very much
All that work for what, a Lacking representation, the bat emblems on the doors Should Have Been Red.
He's very talented but what is it for, people who collect those things are purists and wouldn't want 50% real and 50% replica. Or am I wrong?
no red lines?
Could have gotten cheap replica stickers and antenna, the whole thing doesn't look like an original. I'm looking at one right now.
Had this one as a kid!
Cool
I had that one when i was kid after we went back in 77 to see the famous cars of movie from herbie thelove bug to elvis presley and the batmobile and all had toy car version i had this exact replica it probably is very expensive now
Cool
I had the one in the 1970's, fired red bombs from the rear
Cool
Yep- me too...
Between this and the Smokey and the bandit trans am and the ertil ? General lee…
Most kids from the 70s- early 80s dream cars!
👏🏻😂
Very masterfully done. I don't want to seem picky but the windshield Glass was not tinted blue. I religiously watched the series as a kid in black and white as well as color.
In the TV series no, the Corgi car, yes. I've still got mine and the glass is blue, ish
I'm confirming this
Yes
My Corgi has blue glass
One is broken, need another and I lost Robin
Blue on mine as well and on the boat!
There were many versions..one did have clear glass,I still have it. Bat insignia on wheel hubs on earlier model and I think they painted the figures differently too.. I think there was a budget version with no figures but might be wrong..
omg I had 1 in the 70s
Same here 👍
Im glad you got a hold of this Batmobile. It finally got the TLC it deserves. Thanks for videoing your work. This is the first time Ive had the opportunity to see inside a Corgi Batmobile.
Thank you very much
Hi. Sad story: my little cousin was murdered back in 1999. Clearing out his stuff, we found an old Batmobile, just like this, that I had played with and then had given him when he was little - back in the 70s. It's in similar - rough - shape. It had been stepped on and beaten up and Batman and Robin were missing, etc.
Do you have some kind of contact that I might inquire about having the Batmobile restored? I'd like to, someday, give it to the newest member of our family - a little guy born to my niece in January. Please let me know.
Thanks.
@Smokey Mcb
Condolences, Smokey. It sucks when it happens to anyone but when they're young, it REALLY sucks. Tom's mother lived for another 20 years but it was a life of misery and despair and nobody could help her.
Wrong i have an original corgi 66 batmoblie the wheels on this one are wrong they should have red bats on the center the bats on the doors should be red its missing the orange stripes nice try though next time if your going to RESTORE somethng get it right
Dude chill it's a toy car.
For heavens sake, relax dude. Oh, and I think your mom's calling you in for dinner.
@@Zephyrdaze1819 do it right or dont do it at all and FYI my mom died 21yrs ago if that makes you feel better
@@jameshankssr466 Well, you fooled all of us by writing a run-on sentence that lacked basic structure and even punctuation. A 9-year-old writes better than you do. I've no idea if your mom would be proud of that. Since you're such a stickler for getting it right, better manage yourself first. The work on this model was done in the spirit of fun and craft. There are no Corgi Restoration Olympic competitions. Grow up.
Rubber tyres too with Goodyear branding.
A classic restoration that could even make George Barris proud !!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much
WOW! Amazing job. I was a five year old in 66 when the series premiered. Or a few days or weeks from being five. Loved the original Batmobile. I never would think a toy this damaged could be repaired like this. Beautiful job. The instructions/display work is awesome!
Thank you very much Hugo
Holy 1970s Christmas 🎅
Had this with the bat 🦇 boat (including bat 🦇 tow trailer) and bat 🦇 copter 🚁
Only needed one Bat 🦇 person 😃 and Robin (non binary) figures , just needed to swap them between the bat 🦇 vehicles
Cool
Fantastic job, I have fond childhood memories of this car, didn't realise it was supposed to have Robin it too😄
Thank you very much Rik
What a crime that it was as damaged as it was. Mine is like new and probably 45 years old and only has dust on it
Cool
