Description

Batman '89 Ornament Retail Display (Bully, 1989). A striking throwback to Gotham's cinematic rebirth, this Batman contains a rare 1989 retail display showcasing classic Bully Batman figures released at the height of Batman '89 mania. Produced by German toy company Bully to ride the tidal wave of excitement surrounding Tim Burton's blockbuster film starring Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as The Joker, this countertop display houses 24 figures dressed in the now-iconic black suit with yellow oval bat emblem. Each compact plastic figure captures the Dark Knight's brooding silhouette in a slightly stylized form (though a few capes have become detached), designed to hang or clip as ornaments or backpack accessories. The cardboard display itself bursts with bold yellowish-golden background, making it a visually impactful piece once found at toy counters across Europe. The rare display exhibits handling wear along the edges and corners, with corner bends, creasing, surface scratching, and scuffing wear throughout. A vivid piece of 1989's global Bat-phenomenon, this set remains a must-have for collectors chasing the darker, cinematic edge of the Caped Crusader's legacy.
