Hello Everyone,

I have for sale an ultra-rare and highly sought after Batman item I thought someone here might be interested in. It's a mint on card and 100% original Ideal Batman Figure Set from 1966. As you can see in the first picture, the set includes Robin, Batman, and Joker. Talk about beautiful graphics!!! The card is in great shape, and the bubble sealed all the way around with a couple of minor dents. Some of these figures were supplied unpainted, the second picture below showing what they could be painted to be look like (photo borrowed from Chip Kidd's wonderful "Batman Collected" book!).

I'd like $185 for this set shipped anywhere in North America. Of course, I'll ship it international for whatever the extra postage costs.

By comparison, here are a couple currently on ebay:

Identical One:

One with a repro/custom card (proving yet again that we Mego-heads aren't the only ones who do this!!):

Thanks and Happy New Year to Everyone!!

Thanks Guys! I do love this incredibly unique piece, and would keep it if I were made of money :grin: But, I've decided to increase my collecting focus and part with it and a few other things as a result...
