Mattel just recently released the "prototype blueprints" for the soon-to-be-released 1966 BAT-BOAT WITH TRAILER. Now of course they will also be releasing about 12 new 1:50 Scale Batman Batmobile Cars too, including the boat. One of them will be a re-release of the 1966 Batmobile but it will have a special trailer hitch on the back to haul the Batboat. Personally, I can't wait because these are just really great collectibles! ( Click the above image for a larger photo ).
The Official Hot Wheels Collectors website has just released information about their line of Batman 1:50 Scale Vehicles for 2009. It looks like they are gonna have a really great variety again this time too. The list includes:- 1966 BATBOAT™ ( with trailer ) (SKU# N8016)

It's just been announced but Mattel will be making a special 1:50 Scale Hot Wheels 1966 BAT-BOAT with Trailer! They are also gonna release another 1/50th Scale 1966 Batmobile Car that has a trailer hitch to hook it up to since the previous one didn't have one ( Yes, they're tricking us into buy ANOTHER Batmobile, ha ha! ). The boat looks amazing & the details will probably be a little better since this photo is a prototype. It's suppose to be released sometime in January 2009, which is just a few months away. Be sure to stay tuned with the Bat-Blog because we'll be featuring more news in the future on this very cool collectible...I can't wait!
OK, in the new wave of 1:50 Scale Batmobile Hot Wheels Cars by Mattel I still need to find the "Comic Book" version & this one, the Dark Knight Tumbler! These are really great & the fact that they're only around 6 or 7 dollars is awesome! The detailing is really sharp & even the packaging is cool. I like that they all have Batman logos that are correct for each vehicle. Now, if you don't wanna spend a lot of gas money trying to hunt them down then I suggest Amazon. They have great service. But you might wait awhile until the "scalpers" are done ripping people off ( selling them for $29, shame, shame! ) & get them for about $7.00. I'm still gonna try to find them at the store because I love "the hunt" but if I don't find them soon I'll just order me a set. Here's a link:
Out in stores right now but extremely hard-to-find is this brand-new COMIC BOOK BATMOBILE Car by Hot Wheels. It's 1:50th Scale so if you remember the old Corgi Cars it's about that size. I love that they used the modern day comic book logo for the header card. Actually, I still need this one for my collection. I also need the Dark Knight TUMBLER Car too. In 20+ years of collecting I have learned to be patient & it will pop-up. They have these at Amazon for $7.99 which is only about a dollar more than regular retail. The savings in gas cost alone makes it worth it, I might get it there.
