Re: The Latest Batman Item You've Acquired?
This past week:
Mattel 6" Batman and Robing figures
Funko 5" bendable Batman and Robin
Funko Batmobile with 3.75 figures
NECA 7" Batman
JADA 1:32 Batmobile
NJ Croce 10" Batmobile with Bendable Figures
Explanation: 4 yrs ago I became disabled and it took 3 yrs to be approved for SSDI. During that time I was living on $400 month state retirement and had to sell ALL of my toy collections (Batman, GIjOE, Star Wars/Trek, ect). I am just now in a position to rebuild my Batman collection but this time it's strictly our beloved '66 version. I was able to snag all the above items at REALLY good prices via ebay. I saw the Funko 3.73 Batmobile at FYE, but couldn't even consider the $50 price tag. Snagged it on ebay DELIVERED for $32.
Hoping to scoop up another great deal later today. WISH ME LUCK!!!!

Re: The Latest Batman Item You've Acquired?
Me too, but the chest emblem is wrong as the yellow oval was added in Detective Comics issue #327 in May '64 and this issue came out in the summer of '66. Any idea why the old emblem was used on this cover?

My understanding was that it was a clue to readers that this Batman is not the real Batman.

Received the Batmobile Cuckoo clock from Bradford Exchange today.
For anyone purchasing, make sure you open outside, this is packaged with the very soft Styrofoam that sticks to everything and get all over, also the certificate is taped to bottom so you might miss it which I did at first.
Haven't had a lot of time to look at it, and have not installed batteries to test lights and such.
Will need a good cleaning to remove Styrofoam dust.The early concern would be the slanted front end and only front glass, which are mounted at an angle,one corner lines up with front door edge and drivers side is 1/4" towards rear.
My initial thought is that it really feels like something from Hobby Lobby other than being much heavier than what they usually carry.You can tell it is thick resin.Will not sit flat without rocking slightly from side to side due to the saw tooth hanger on the back for wall mounting, it touches before rear wheels, which is fine.Would I buy again?
Unless this thing wows me with some really neat lights and sound's, no.I think the front end slant was meant so it still would be seen with the lights on when hanging from a wall.As far as proportionally accurate, no way.
Way too fat, reminds me of a single size bed design. from a Christmas catalog from the 60"s.
Much better deal if price was half.Curious what lies ahead with the other items , and yes , I do have those ordered also.not getting hopes up too high anymore.
