DC Batboat (811-100) Model Kit AFA 85 ** POP 1, 2nd Highest Grade, Only 1 Higher ** (Aurora, 1967). Released at the height of Batman's 1960s popularity, Aurora's Batboat model kit brought the Caped Crusader's sleek seafaring vehicle from screen to shelf in classic comic-book style. Capitalizing on the mania of the Adam West TV era, the kit captured Gotham's most iconic crimefighter in mid-wave pursuit, complete with vibrant box art and Aurora's signature flair for action-packed presentation. For fans and modelers alike, it remains one of the most striking superhero kits of its decade. Graded NM+ 85 by AFA, this example ranks as the POP 1, second-highest grade known, with only one piece graded higher. Its exceptional preservation makes it a true time capsule of 1960s pop culture craftsmanship and licensing ambition. An apex example from Aurora's legendary DC Comics lineup, the Batboat stands as a gleaming tribute to Batman's golden age of camp and color. A museum-worthy survivor, it's a must-have centerpiece for any collector chasing the highest standards in vintage superhero history.
