Description

Batman Japanese Tin Dump Truck with Original Box (Aoshin, 1966). This red tin Batman dump truck was produced by Aoshin for the Japanese market in 1966. Measuring 4.25" wide and 10" long, it is friction-powered and has black plastic wheels with a lithographed body and dump. It has great artwork of Batman and Robin running with a cityscape behind them in the back and has "Batman" and Japanese writing on the sides. A paper sticker with the Batman logo is present on the lip of the dump. The truck is in excellent condition with some light scratches and looks to be unused. It has great vivid colors and no rust or significant wear to the bottom. The latch works well to release the dump and relatch it. The box cover has great color, but heavy wear and tears at the two top short side corners. There are bends, creases, and wear to top and bottom of the box. The truck has not been tested and no guarantee can be made of its working condition.
