Description

DC Batplane (487-98) Model Kit AFA 85 ** POP 2, 2nd Highest Grade, Only 2 Higher ** (Aurora, 1966). Aurora's Batplane model kit took flight in 1966, soaring on the wings of the Batman television phenomenon that had swept across pop culture. Sleek, blue, and unmistakably heroic, the Batplane captured the show's gleeful mix of action and imagination, inviting fans to build their own airborne extension of the Dynamic Duo's arsenal. The vivid box art and crisp sculpting embody the charm and color of Aurora's mid-'60s superhero era-equal parts toy and time capsule. This NM+ 85 example has been graded by AFA as the POP 2, 2nd Highest Grade, Only 2 Higher, distinguishing it among the finest surviving specimens of this classic kit. Its preservation underscores the enduring allure of Aurora's DC lineup, where comic-book fantasy met Cold War-era cool. A must for collectors of vintage Batman memorabilia and Aurora model history alike, the Batplane remains a shining emblem of Gotham's Silver Age glory. High-flying, high-grade, and wholly iconic-this one's ready to take its place in the stratosphere of superhero collecting.
