Recently, I added a '57 Corvette, associated with Batgirl, to my Corvette collection. The car was marketed by Jada Toys and came with a figure, just like almost all my batmobiles.
Batgirl, Batman, not a million miles apart, eh?
It turns out that this model car is part of a Jada Toys set of six 'DC Bombshells', each associated with a character from the Batman universe.
You see where this is going ...
Neither the 'Batgirl' Corvette nor the other five can be considered 'batmobiles', not least because the cars never appear in the movies as driven by the characters. Their only association with the characters is in the minds of the people at Jada Toys. But, still, I consider it an additional dimension to the Batmobile collection; watch this space!
