What's your favorite vintage Batman toy?

[Mr.Marion]

This includes Batmobiles, vehicles, villains, etc.

I gotta go with this, mainly because it took over 5 years of searching to get a good deal on one.

[LardLad]

The Husky brand 1966 Batmobile.

[Hedji]

I can't pick just one.

Corgi Batmobile - One of those toys my parents told me was important and to "take care of it". So I did, and it remains intact to this day.


SIMMS Batmobile - So cheap, so disposable. Yet so indelible. I must've gone through at least 5 of these. An all-purpose, cheap, sandbox Batmobile.


AHI Parachutist - Again, these were my lifeblood. Tangled with two tosses into the air. Destroyed shortly after. I went through these like nothing.


Superbaby Batman - Because Batman was once a child? I just loved this little guy.


Mego Batman - I never knew of the removable cowl Batman's existence until Holcomb's book. This toy is every Batman you want, rolled into one. 66 West/Comics/Superfriends... he somehow manages to be all of them, yet transcend them.

Type 1 RC 8" Mego Batman...forever & ever. Hands down.

Super Powers Batman...the sculpt, the paint, the power action. He is toy perfection.

Mego Penguin. I might have picked Super Powers Pengy had his hat and jacket been black.

I'd forgotten how good the AHI parachutist looks, Andy.

[newlyknighted]

I cannot choose one. The Mego Batmobile with both Caped Crusaders. Pow! Bif! I could not get enough of those 3 items of toy greatness as a kid. I still love them.

[hedrap]

...Probably the Pocket Heroes Batcave.

[TrekStar]

No doubt type 1 RC Batman, RM Robin too, just so much happiness remembered.

I guess the Mego Pocket Heroes Batmobile set with Batman and Robin. However, it’s a tough choice. I carried around the WGSH Batman and Robin, a lot! A few years later, when I was 10, came the Super Powers Batman, Robin and that Batmobile. Then there was the Corgi Batmobile that I played with for hours and hours and hours. Loved it! All of that and then the AHI Bat stuff along with a Batcycle I had that had a Batman figure on it.

^ Yeah the AHI Batcycle was a hoot.

[Bruce Banner]

[powersthatbe]

for me the 12" mego magnetic batman.

[Hedji]

^ That $0.58 price tag on the Comic Action Heroes Batman is giving me heart pains.

Type 1 RC 8" Mego Batman...forever & ever. Hands down.

Yes. With Corgi Batmobile a close second.
