Classic Plastick Marx Batman Adam (Johnny) West

Not my auction but Wes' Classic Plastick was making killer Captain Action Batman stuff back in the day and this is pretty neat.

eBay Auction

I just bought a Walther PPK 9mm handgun (James Bond's gun) for my collection and everyday carry-- and it wasn't cheap so I'm on a spending freeze for a while, but this would be a BIN for me.

LOVED my Classic Plastick Batman!!! Back before Sideshow & Mattel it was the closest I could get to a figure resembling Adam. Wes was always a pleasure to deal with. A reminder of a time when the merchandise was not so abundant ….

What year PPK?
I have a Hungarian knockoff FEG MkII
Plays the 007 them on superfast violins (you need to be Hungarian to get it - Alex will know).

There's an old thread on the old website where Wes sold me some parts and I built a Batman with his guidance. Anthony Durso made the display box for me! Sweet!

Wow talk about irony-I also own a Hungarian knockoff PPK from 1986. I have two Walther Ppks one is stainless steel from 2006 and the other is black and brand new.

I can completely understand why Ian Fleming was recommended to have Bond switch from his Beretta 25 caliber to the PPK-- it's got great sites and it's extremely accurate for a small gun. It matches my full size Beretta 92 almost to the point on the range-- and that's saying something. For you non-gun fans-- a smaller barrel generally affects the accuracy of the firearm, but a long barrel is harder to carry concealed. The PPK is half the size of my 92 but has about 2/3 the stopping power.

The Hungarian is actually a pretty solid choice too- it's well put together and nearly as accurate as the PPK. Walther finally resolved import duties in the US so they are going to be more readily available.
