San Diego Comic Con Hot Wheels 1966 Batmobile George Barris

I wanted to follow up my first review with a photo of one of my son’s most prized Batmobiles. This is one Batmobile my son doesn’t get to play with. Not yet anyway. It’s a 1/64th scale version of the 1966 Batmobile made popular by the television series of the same year.

The diecast was made by Hot Wheels and sold only at the 2007 San Diego Comic Con. George Barris, the original designer of that Batmobile attended the Comic Con on one of the days and I was fortunate to get his autograph on the case of the Batmobile.

The car is incredibly detailed for being so small. Hot Wheels released a much less detailed version into their main line which most collectors snagged for less than a buck.

This piece was definately my favorite item from the convention last year. I can’t wait to see what Hot Wheels has instore for us at this year’s comic con.
