Hot Wheels 1:50 TV Batboat
From my post on the 1966 Batmobile website from 5/14/08:
I am exploring this a little with some detective work. Eric said originally:
“For Comic-Con 2008, Hot Wheels will have an exclusive Bat-vehicle like they did last year. I’m sworn to secrecy of which one it will be, but I can tell you it is a ‘66 Batman related item and it does have wheels & probably 1:50th scale!!” So -
1. I am guessing if it was a vehicle we’ve already seen he might have worded it a little differently. That leads to the boat, copter or batgirl cycle.
2. And we’ve already seen that HW was quick to do the Batcycle which is NOT a Barris design so they only have to pay licensing to TW for that. Which still leaves the copter, batgirl cycle and boat which are all non-barris owned designs.
3. AND my suspicion that they either directly used or at least piggy-backed on to the Polar Lights patterns for the batcycle then leads me to think the copter and the batgirl bike are out.
Leaving - the Batboat.
Okay maybe its me, but this post says it will have wheels? ummm ‘cuse me but ummm the batboat doesnt have wheels unless someone is going to add a trailer… pretty cool though, Im IN for 3 of them! we need the Camo Tumbler and the 1990 Missle car too! 1:50th scale figures too??
Where did the picture come from?

Comic Con 2008? BatBoat?
I went to Comic Con NYC in April 2008, no HWs Batboat there, unless I missed it or they’re talking about Comic Con 2008 in the west of U.S.A.

Kevin - I created the picture in photoshop.
Spartanwolf - It’s the San Diego Con they’re talking about. That’s the BIG con.
