Batman Hot-Line Batphone (Marx, 1966)....

Description

Batman Hot-Line Batphone (Marx, 1966). Channel the spirit of Gotham's golden age with this dynamic vintage Batman lot, showcasing the Hot-Line Batphone released by Marx Toys in 1966. Crafted in vivid red plastic with a black knitted elastic cord, this nostalgic piece retains its original paper stickers on both the handset and base. The Batphone remains secure in its original box alongside the instruction insert, with surface scuffing, scratches, and light fraying on the cord. While the battery compartment is clean and largely free of wear, the item remains untested and is offered without a guarantee of functionality. The phone displays handling wear including scratching and scuffing throughout, with noticeable sticker wear including fading and age, with a small amount of fraying on the knitted elastic cord. The original packaging reveals the marks of decades past, with wear along edges and corners, minor discoloration, corner tears, and surface chipping, especially along the top front panel. Folded sides and additional wear on the bottom complete the authentic vintage presentation. A true collector's gem, this piece brings the unmistakable pulse of 1960s Batman into the present-vibrant, iconic, and ready to command attention in any vintage showcase.
