    What's the going rate for RC Batman?

    I have a chance to get one. As far as I can tell, he's all original. His emblem has kind of a cloth texture, not paper. I'm pretty confident about the gloves too. He's not in perfect shape, but the clothes will clean up.

    Is he a stir up suit or regular suit?

    About $300.00 or so depending on which version.

      It's a regular suit, with nylon trunks. I'll get pics later. The one thing that I noticed is that according to the accessory check, RC Bats should have a paper emblem and not the cloth version. However, I don't think I'm going to let that bother me, because a)a lot of figures came out of the factory with parts that were not necessarily correct and b) this is someone's childhood toy. It's possible that he put a different Bat-suit on his RC Batman at some point. It's priced way less than $300, and is a slightly better deal than some of the ended auctions I found on eBay. I was piecing one together, so I might end up swapping out some of the parts, if I have some that are nicer than others.

        clean footie version at the 100 and (nearby) above area. From what you have described, I wouldn't go over a Franklin for it as long as the cape, suit, cowl, and head were nice looking.

        stirrups add a bit and skinny boots/waffly gloves top the list.

        Biggest difficulty is the original emblem. If it is cloth, then it is not original to that figure as you stated. Those paper emblems are boogers to get.

          A clean (non blueing) Wayne head adds a lot to the value, cloth emblem is definitely the wrong period. If your talking loose then $75-100 tops, perhaps less with a non stir-up suit.

            Yeah. That's definitely a pieced together figure, which means you should not pay for him like he is "original" or "complete". He's not as it applies to a RC Batman. And if that latter edition suit is not even clean, I would go down even further in price. RC Batman's, with a variety of original Mego pieces (but not figure specific), are fairly common on Ebay. Is he on a T-1 body? I would also like to see the head as well. What condition is that in? The true value of RC Batman's are if the original pieces are all there. Right now, I would not pay anything over $75.00. And at that price, the head, body, and cowl would have to be in excellent shape.
