Batman & Robin Airplane Control Marionettes Group of 2 with Stands (Hazelle, 1966)....

Description

Batman & Robin Airplane Control Marionettes Group of 2 with Stands (Hazelle, 1966). Swinging in from the campy heights of 1960s Bat-mania, this charming set of Batman and Robin Hazelle Marionettes, released in 1966, brings the Dynamic Duo to life with a nostalgic, handcrafted flair. Each figure features a combination of fabric, felt, and plastic elements, suspended from a wooden airplane marked "Batman and Robin Characters, copyright 1966, National Periodical Publications Inc." The marionettes are impressively styled for the era, with bright costumes, molded plastic heads, and character-accurate details. While the original box is not included, both figures come with individual black display stands, each showing signs of age with surface scuffing and scratches. The plastic components of the marionettes show light wear, including scuffing and scratches, the strings are tangled, and the wooden airplane controllers exhibit label tears and handling marks. Despite the wear, this rare pair retains a unique vintage charm and offers a playful tribute to Batman's swinging sixties heyday.
