Lot Description:MASUDAYA / MODERN TOYS BATMOBILE.
This circa 1960s Batmobile is tinplate litho, with rubber, friction driven wheels and a vinyl Batman driving with his vinyl cape flapping in the wind behind him. Length: 32cm (12.5”). -
Notes:The streamlined and futuristic style of this superb toy makes it one of the most sought-after of the many Batman toys produced, given further impetus by the success of the live-action television series in the mid-1960s. The Batman movie franchise has created a whole new generation of fans who are also keen on the early comics which introduced Batman to the world just as World War Two was starting. The character first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (cover dated May 1939). Batman proved to be so popular that a self-titled ongoing comic book series began publication with a cover date of Spring 1940. It was first advertised in early April 1940, one month after the first appearance of his new sidekick, Robin, the Boy Wonder.
