Batman Batscope Dart Launcher (Tarco, 1966)....

Description

Batman Batscope Dart Launcher (Tarco, 1966). A true gem from the golden age of Batman rack toys, this official 1966 Batman Batscope Dart Launcher by Tarco delivers vintage action straight from the shelves of yesteryear. Designed to shoot darts up to 50 feet, the Batscope combines the look of binoculars with a dart launcher cleverly built into the center, perfect for young crimefighters of the era. The blue plastic body features the original Batman Batscope sticker proudly displayed at the front and comes equipped with a matching blue neck rope and three black suction-cup darts. The original unpunched card remains intact, though warped with age, and displays handling wear including edge and corner wear, along with creasing in the lower left and upper right corners. The bubble has slightly lifted in the lower left, with visible cracking beneath and above the launcher. The back of the card features an "Honorary Fiend Fighter" cut-out card and vibrant comic-style artwork of Batman and Robin squaring off with their foes, though additional creasing is present. While the packaging shows its age, this piece is notoriously tough to track down in any condition-making it a standout survivor from Batmania's peak.
