I have no idea if Husky had a license from Corgi to produce Corgi stuff under their own imprint or what... seems to me to be the only possible reason they produced this Batmobile and Batboat that looks to be from the same era as the Corgi ones!
Husky was another line from the same company that owned Corgi. You'll note they're both dog names, after all! According to their Wikipedia entry, the Husky line was later renamed Corgi Junior.
The daily blog featuring photos of Batman-related merchandise going up through the 1970s, with a few 1980s items thrown in here and there! Your comments are welcomed!
Please note that I do not have any of these items for sale, and the vast majority of them are items I do not own at all. The photos were collected from eBay auctions over the years, and I wanted to share them with you all!
If you're interested in tracking down any of these items, I wish you luck, and hope that these posts help give you the information you need to find them offered on eBay! If you do purchase any of these items as a result of these posts, I'd love to hear about them -- and if you have better photos of anything I post here, I'd love to see them, too, and share them with my readers! You can email photos to me at waffyjon at comcast dot net. And if you link to a Batcave Trophy Room post, please let me know, and I'll add your blog to the blogroll!
