Twistable Batman Figure in package (Marx, 1966)....

Description

Twistable Batman Figure in package (Marx, 1966). One of the two original Batman action figures, the rare Twistable Batman was produced by Marx in 1966 at the same time as the bendy carded Batman figure. This version uses a rubber body with wire inside and comes with a cloth costume and cape. He has blue plastic boots, gloves and head, and a yellow plastic belt. A bat logo sticker is centered on his chest and a black plastic Batarang is in his right hand. The paint on Batman's head was not applied well, as is common with this type of figure. It is marked "National Periodical Publications, Inc. 1966". The bag is sealed and firmly attached to the card. The card has a bend but no creases and there is writing in the white circles on both sides of the card.
