Hi Rob mate ‘ I’m glad you finally got the courage to do this one and a job well done buddy !
You’ll find the more of these you do, the easier it’ll get! Thanks for the mention Rob😉👍
Thanks again Bob
How were the Batman and Robin figures made?
I had the exact same Batmobile back in the early 70's...
I did too - one of the first toy cars I remember having!
I had this Exact Batmobile, with the Batboat and Trailer!!!!!!! You can find them in original box for $650 USD! LOL
Had this and the Green Hornet mobile, and James Bond 007 Austin Martin!
@@timandshannon03 Me too, I had one in the UK pretty sure with the trailer and boat in the late 60s bought by my auntie Winnie when I was about three or four.
Holy Restorations, Batman! Look what Rob has done to our car; it has an awesome new paint job. The citizens of Gotham City thank you, Rob!
I sometimes do, begin to wonder who would impersonate the former Soviet communist dictator Brezhnev? The Clock King/Temple Fugit looked just like the former Soviet communist dictator Brezhnev back in 1966. The Batman TV series casting director William P. D'Angelo judged Brezhnev by what his career was, not just by his outward appearance. He never judged him by what's in his heart.
This is one I did have, it came in a set with the Batboat and trailer. The boat was plastic and didn't last as long but the Batmobile lasted for many years. Yes those missiles got lost almost immediately so I'd use some of the old man's spent matches as missiles instead, they worked just fine.
Rob, I really miss your episodes. You have one of the best resto channels!
Also, try to remember when I once portrayed Simon Cowell as the notorious Lord Dread, who's also a cyborg. That's Lord Dread from Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future.
Cool batmobile. ! My son and me were at a car show in Michigan, and one of the original batmobile cars was there ! Had signatures of George Barris, Adam West & Burt Ward on the hood.! We got a chance to have our pictures taken in the car, and got to go to his shop & see the rest of his collection of batman stuff. ! That was a great experience for us !! Love the Batmobile!
Did you also bet on that I was going to portray the actress Amy Poehler as the DC Comic book villain named Harley/Swier Durcholz? I never kept that a secret. 🤔
Amazing that these parts can be found.
I had that very same model. Twice. The first as a child. That should have been around the middle of the 70’s. The second as a collectible along with the batcopter and the batboat. I loved the tiny Batman and Robin figures.
I just bought a batmobil yesterday. Not this one that you restored but a smaller one (not the 1/64. I think it’s a 1/32). Loved the video and the memories! Thanks!
I just checked. It’s a 1/43
Tires do look better than the old ones. Great job. Rest good
Great Job Rob! 😎
In my opinion this original Batmobile is the best looking one.
Wow. Memories right there. Had that and also the Bat Boat that was on a trailer you could attach behind. I remember the little red plastic rockets 🚀 that fired out of the back when you turned that wheel.
Hello 267 Fan Club! Did a restoration myself a year ago for my son. Had one when I was a kid, circa 1970-ish. It was THE coolest toy at the time, and I wish that I'd had the foresight to hang on to it (I've no memory of what happened to mine). Found one on ebay from California (mostly intact), sourced a windshield from Australia, button-head screws from China, and figures from the UK (which I had to paint myself). Great project, and a wonderful way to create NEW memories to go along with the old ones. :)
Now that's an awesome restored Batmobile! Batman will be proud of you
I had one when I was a kid. Enjoyed playing with it.
Still have my original Batmobile from the 70's got it one Xmas lovely restoration
I portrayed the actress Rachel Dratch as Mini Mess/Feroj Shimizu, who's supposed to be the 1952 17 year old female gang banger who's also supposed to be Batman's enemy. She's supposed to be one of 8 Ball's henchmen. She's not a funny joke compared to Bob the Goon, that's what. 😤
Good looking restoration. Bigger tires look much better on it. Thanks for sharing.
I had the car and the Boat on the trailer, all In one box. It was In my mom's display cabinet with my Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. And My brother sold the lot when I was away. At least I still have all My Gerry Anderson Models still like new In the Box's. Nice Restoration.
The Corgi Batmobile is so complex! Beautiful job on the restoration Rob!
What a job! Batman thanks 👍👏👏👏👏
The original 1960's one, which I had, and played with ad infinitum, had no tow hook, and indeed, flames that went in and out as the car was rolled along. It also had rubber tyred wheels with the Bat symbol on the hubs. Nice to see that the Batphone is still in situ on yours - this was a detail that fascinated me as a kid, along with the fire extinguisher - details like that never appeared on other cars. Likewise, the 'Bat Fast Turn' lever, that hung down underneath the beacon. Great stuff. I remember my dad buying it for me from a newsagent opposite the pier at Felixstowe (it was still there, last time I went). He came out of the shop, and gave it to me -I was four or five, and didn't know the thing existed. Best. Corgi. Ever. I don't actually have one at the moment. I have a similar scale Hot Wheels one - nice, but not a patch on the Corgi one.
That grass dart - we used to call them 'Flea darts' when we were kids, in the mistaken belief that, if hit by a thrown one, it would give you fleas. Yes, really.🤔
Yours looks wonderful. It's the sort of toy that just wills you to play with it.
I had this car as a kid, ,born in 1962.I soon lost the rocket's as victims to my mum's vacuum cleaner. .I bought one from ebay but am afraid i will muck it up.Thank's for this video,it will help.
Great job as always Rob. You certainly need a rest for a job well done.
Your right Rob. The Korgi BatMobile in my collection, the exhaust undgulates back and force as the car goes forward. It also has a blade that comes down from the center hood; which is activated from the gold button in front of the windshield. It also has orange/red missiles that shoot out of the tubes behind the center cockpit. This also came with a Bat Boat and trailer as well. Thanks Rob & Bob. Great detail!!!
My favorite batmobile TV séries 1966 Excellent Restoration Very Nice 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I had this casting for a long time but ended up giving it to someone else. Didn't know if I can find parts I needed or not. That was very nice of Bob to send you the parts. Turned out perfect Rob. Take care and stay safe.
Wow.... I've never even seen one of these...great job
I had one of these too back in the 60's? Used to watch Batman on tv back then.
That blade that popped out the front of the car was a cable cutter.
Great restoration video Rob! That Batmobile looks stunning.👌👍💯 I"m also a BIG fan of Bob Willis' artwork♥️.
Awesome job rob 👍
Great job on a classic, iconic car.
sweet glad to see the batmobile restored
Great job as always Rob and it looks great with the larger wheels! Have a great weekend
BEAUTIFUL WORK! I collect a lot of Batman toys, myself. Always tough to find a good Batmobile.
I do love the Batmobile, I was parked in front of the T.V. for the very first episode. Rob old son, you have done an extra nice build on a difficult casting. As for the wheels, they should have been this way all along. Thanks for bringing back some very fond memories.
I used to have this one. Yes, the flames used to reciprocate back and forth as it drove. The Bat-cable cutter at the front was always my favorite; it would operate with a terrific “snap,” enough to get the caped crusaders out of a bind, every time!
I loved Corgi! I had that, the Black Beauty and the Monkey Mobile!! Even had some of the Space 1999 ships. Very good time for toys!!
Brilliant job. Years ago I watched a restoration of one of these where they turned a later Batmobile into the original 1966 version with the moving flame 🔥- no tow bar. The 1966 version I had as a kid in the 70’s. had no tow bar and rubber tyres. This changed to hard plastic wheels in 1973. So glad to have had an original. Rob you did a great job. I would love to see a conversion of a Corgi batmobile into a Lincoln Futura which is the original concept car George Barris used as a basis for the Batmobile
Absolutely Beautiful!!! I've been a fan of Batman since I was 4, and I wish I had one of these!! Great job!!!!!!!!!🦇
Good video - loved my Batmobile as a small boy!
Ever had the pleasure of restoring a Corgi Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? That was a beloved toy of my childhood....
Another fine restoration Rob. I appreciate the time energy and skill you put into your work. You are a true artist.
Beautiful work as always!
I remember as a kid back in the sixties I had a few Corgi larger size cars. Of course the Batmobile was one, James Bond Astin Martin, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang are a few I had.
Rob this is the 1974 version of the casting. Didn't even realise the original missile was still there. So good to see it looking it's best again. I would also thank Bob Willis for help bring this back to life. Great job again pal.
Thanks again Mark 😊
One of favourite toys as a kid, also had the big mego one which was brilliant
Holy Hot Dog Jar, Batman! I had that car as a child. Those missiles were easily lost. Mine had the moving flame in the exhaust. Great to see one restored...
Good morning, good night.
My favorite Batmobile, nice job!
The people who designed the Lincoln Futura in 1954 probably never could have imagined the route their creation would take to immortality...
Hope you are well Ben
Oh mate I was hoping to see the assembly of this. Impressive outcome! Nice one
Holy awesome restoration
Nice one Rob. Nailed it.
Stilen the the bat theme. Is like to se you do this hotwheels one,but bring it back to the consept car it once was. Nice wheels,Nice showroom paint job.
Thanx for the late nights, takes me back!
Nice example of a great toy. Excellent job Rob looks mint
Thanks Juan, hope you are keeping well mate
A real winner! Well done!
Awesome job! Well Done! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That is just beautiful.
I received a new one when I was a kid for my birthday many years ago. Lots it over the many years.
I know nobody in Ireland, that does this type of work you do.
iv never found a large batmobie at any bootsales but me and the boy did find 2 corgi jr batmobiles
Nice ! I remember playing with a bat mobile the same size but was a tint of red for some reason
Beautiful job Rob. A real classic. Don't know how many kids had these and destroyed them in sandpits and mud. Lol! Quite right about gouging gits on the internet. 20 quid for a tin of spray paint!!? Some of those characters on Ebay need to be dangled off a bridge.
Nice job. It is certainly a big improvement. Cheers
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na, Batman!👍🏻😎 Looks great, Rob
Or: what did Batman's mother call out when it was time to come and get something to eat?
"Dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner, Batman!"
Was there ever a tv series that caught our attention quite like that one?
Nice work rob on the batmobil
It's crime fighting time!! Great work!!
Looks great, Rob.👍
You did a great job. You should line up the green hornet, man from uncle and the batmobile for a glamor shot
Great job Rob 👍👍👍👍
Someday the RUclips algorithm will choose this channel and every video will hit 2000 likes.
Looks great as always, Looking for
ward to the next one, same bat time same bat channel...
Nice job of restoration
Nice! I don't know about moving flames in this size version, but the small Husky batmobile had this feature.
Great job Rob...I’ve got one to do...my son gave it to me for Christmas along with the boat as well...I also have the batcopter that was my late brothers...and have watched the master Bobs videos...and like you , have to get the courage up to get them done..good on you to get it done...cheers mate...🇨🇦
Couple of friends had one back when I was a kid.
I had that when i was younger..loved it 😊
Cool casting.
Been awaiting one of you to tackle the 267 for a while, thing I most wanted to see tho was the assembling of the mechanics, great resto regardless
Fantastic result Rob and very gracious of Bob to offer the support he did. What a great diecast community this is. 🤩🥇👏💯🥰 as always peace, respect and stay safe, Ben
The tabs on the missile launcher is the same as the very old music machines that played by way or a roller going around with points all over it and they passed and picked a flat metal tab that was tuned to a certain note. When it all went round and they all did what they were supposed to do...beautiful music played. That would be the same in the music boxes or musical jewelry boxes.
that looks nice as all get out, i like the clear plastic instead of the blue, and the larger tires do a perfect job of hiding the interior plastic.
Beautiful job
my friend had one of those batmobiles that we played with, I was always jealous and thought one day I will have my own - but they were expensive even back then
gorgeous resto. turned out amazing
Wonderful job!!!
Wow, that's not bad man. It's great! Batman and ROBin can go chase the villains again. KAPOW!!!!! BLAP!!!!! ZOK!!!!! 🦇
That's the post 1969 version with the towbar for the Bat-Boat. Previous models didn't have the towbar fitted.
Shout out to Bob Willis, i used his video when i did my batmobile.
Great vid, great result 👍🏼
I just need to fix the boat and helicopter now
Fantastic job!
Can’t f**kin believe it! I had this model as a kid in the ‘70s! It was one of my prised possessions. I lost the figurines on my grandparents back lawn and then sure enough everything went to custard!
👍🇦🇺
I have to say this is a very different build, I didn’t know this casting existed well I knew the car existed but I didn’t think it was made this big it’s super cool I left out turned out!
Those new wheels definitely look a lot better and give it a bit more of a realistic look
Nice restoration! You should have painted the arch over the cabin in black though, it looks more accurate to the real one. Nice though!
Awesome batmobile
Rob Great job with your Restoring of The Batmobile from Corgi Toys . It looks brand new . I was lucky enough to see the Batmobile from the TV show what a great vehicle . Have a red old school phone inside and deferent buttons for the rockets and smoke screen and old slick .
Love this car... and the memories!
Great job! I had one years ago and actually still miss it.
Funny that I always thought Bob Willis was a cricket player not a diecast car restorer 🤣
I got bored with cricket ! Ha! Ha!
Turned out really great Rob. What a jigsaw puzzle the bits and pieces are on this model.
Beautifully done🔥🔥🔥🔥
