Batman Puppet Theatre with Puppets B (Ideal, 1966)....

Description

Batman Puppet Theatre with Puppets B (Ideal, 1966). This incredibly rare Batman Puppet Theater was produced by Ideal in 1966 and was sold at Sears Roebuck and Co. stores exclusively. The theater comes in four large cardboard pieces that can be assembled into a theater where a child could put on shows with their Batman, Robin, and Joker puppets, all of which are included. The cardboard theatre is in lightly used condition and the cardboard shows some yellowing from age. There are a few small creases and a small tear that was repaired on the edge of the black stage base. The Puppets are used and the Batman puppet has a cloth body rather than the vinyl version that originally came with this set. The Robin head has good paint whole the Batman and Joker heads have some marks and wear. Their cloth bodies are also worn with the Joker's a bit dirty. No instructions are included with the set.
