1966 Batman inflatable toys

[hiflyman]

Hi,

I'm a new member and looking for information from collectors of 1966 batman memorabilia about an item i've had since a child.

It's an inflatable Batman distributed by Linda U.K made in Hong Kong according to the information stamped on the back vinyl of Batman's costume, manufactured in 1966. Stands about 12 inches tall when blown-up.

Any information appreciated, as I've searched the web and found no similar items listed on other collectors page, lists of 1966 manufactured Batman promotional toys, auction houses and ebay.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hello and welcome to the board.
I'm not sure if you can post a picture yet as you're new, but if you can't, please describe it as best you can. I know there were lots of inflatable Batmans in the 60's and many were unlicensed carnival prizes that originally hung on sticks. There were yellow costumed ones, red costumed ones and traditional blue and gray ones. Also silver ones. I had a green one in 1966. I posted a a few examples from Google I came across.
Good luck with getting us a photo. One our mods such as Ben or Scott could help I'm sure, their schedules allowing.

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply.

Not sure if it was a carnival prize, but my dad in his late eighties cannot remember, bless him. Mine's a traditional costume and NPP Inc product according to the labeling, which seems to indicate official licensed product if the web blurb i have read up on is accurate.

Tried to attach images but to no avail. Do we have to self host images, or is there a gallery facility to upload to somewhere?

Thanks again.

There was also a 1966 "bop bag", but comic book art rather than from the TV series.
