    ULTRA RARE 1960s BATMAN KO EXPERTS NEEDED

    Need help identifying this ultra rare Batman KO from the 1960s made by Redbox that I found. Can't remeber it's original name, BAT? I am told this is listed in a Batman collectors book? Can anybody tell me more? Any help would be much apprecaited. I think this cameout during Batman craze in 60s

    Redbox was one of the best KO 1/6 scale figure makers in the 1960s making awesome Deep Sea Diver and a 1/6 Matt Mason/Gijoe KO figures

    Wow, that is very interesting! I've never seen it before, and I have tons of references to 60s Batman stuff.

    His suit looks to be made similarly to Ideal's Captain Action suits. And of course his face looks like GI Joe with a new swept-back hair line. His hands seem to be lifted from Joe, too.

    Well, we have to get to the bottom of this (and I'm sure it will happen)! Very interesting and plain terrific!

    Interesting. Looks like a cross between the 40's movie serial Batman and one of the Rocketmen from the same era. Kind of foreshadows the Kingdom Come Batman as well.

    What really hit me is I had a figure on a knockoff Joe body with that same head. He was wearing a blue coverall suit similar to Hasbros flight coveralls of the era. The toy was a hand me down from my older cousins. I always hated the thing because the body was so loose and floppy it couldnt stand...or do much of anything else. He became the local drunk/crazyman that Johnny West or Gi Joe would kick the crap out of for kicks (hey, I was 3, maybe 4....beating up wierdos was funny then).
