Found on eBay: More Batman Stuff!

batman_batcavemodel

Some enterprising eBay seller has been selling these kits, that I think are scaled for the Hot Wheels Batmobile.

batman_batcopteritaly.jpg

This Batcopter toy hails from Italy... I have no idea why Superman's on the card art!

batman_batcycle

I'm afraid I've forgotten where this Batcycle comes from... kind of neat in a funky way, isn't it?

batman_batcycleremote

Here's another Batcycle, which is remote-controlled, but doesn't seem to have a Batman figure!

batman_batgirlcost

I'm guessing that this Batgirl costume was one of the first Batgirl items available, and I'm guessing it came out between the Ideal "Super Queens" Batgirl doll and the Mego Batgirl!

batman_batgirlmarx.JPG

This foreign Batgirl knock-off toy was supposedly manufactured by Marx, according to the seller!

batman_batgrenade.JPG

OK, so here's the Bat-Grenade toy... but what's really interesting about this is that on the card, Batman's got his name on his insignia!

batman_batjet.JPG

This Batjet is very cool, isn't it? (Amazing how many Batman items I've featured that you've never heard of before, eh?)

batman_batmobile1-6a

Check out this Batmobile, which was a custom piece... it's 1/6th scale, and it's absolutely dazzling!

batman_batmobile1-6b

The detailing on this is just amazing... then again, so was the starting bid, if I recall!

batman_batmobile1-6c

This last pic really shows you how freakin' big the thing is, too!

batman_batmobile_1-8scale

Compare the above Batmobile to this 1/8 scale Batmobile here.

batman_batmobile_battery

Quite a few more Batmobiles to share with you today! This blue one is battery-powered, and I think I had a different pic of it that I shared maybe six months back or so!

batman_batmobile_choppperm

Want to know something weird? The name I have on this is "batmobile_choppperm" and I have no idea what that was supposed to mean now.

batman_batmobile_coinop1

When I came across this Batmobile on eBay a while back, I was so, so tempted to put a bid on it... it's a coin-operated ride, like you used to always see in front of Kmart...

batman_batmobile_coinop2

...aside from figuring I'd probably be way outbid, the seller required an in-person pick-up of it. I tell you, if I'd won the lottery, though, I would have so bought it!

batman_batmobile_corgicard

Of all the companies that have made Batmobile toys, I think AHI's made the most, and Corgi is a very close second! Mattel or Kenner would probably be #3.

batman_batmobile_duncan

This Batmobile, on the other hand, was made by Duncan (the Yo-Yo company? Could be, I'm not sure).

batman_batmobile_friction

This Batmobile is friction-powered!

batman_batmobile_jlthunder

This is a Johnny Lightning Batmobile... amazing how many different toys were based on the 1966 Batmobile, isn't it?

batman_batmobile_keychain

This Batmobile is the current one from Hot Wheels, but someone's made it into a Keychain!

batman_batmobile_slotcar

For many Batman collectors, this slot-car racer Batmobile is the "Holy Grail" of collecting... and I used to have one of them when I was kid!

batman_batmobileavon

This is the Avon Batmobile shampoo or bubble bath bottle! Cool, isn't it?

batman_batmobilebattery

Another battery-powered Batmobile here... looks like it's lost a tire, though!

batman_batmobilebronzecor

A couple of non-66 Batmobile toys here, I think by Corgi!

More Batmobiles and other Bat-items in the next "Found on eBay" entry!
