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.

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.
would it be sell on amazon???
i’m from indonesia,maybe there wouldn’t be any batboat on toy strore or toy fair in indosia
so if there would be batboat in indonesia.well,maybe would be the luckyest man in my country…
[...] said, they did such a nice job with the Batcycle and Batboat that I’m personally stoked about it. Polar Lights has also hinted that they are not ruling [...]
