Batman Saxhorn & Craigie Chinese Model Kits (Chang Mad, 1977)....

Description

Batman Saxhorn & Craigie Chinese Model Kits (Chang Mad, 1977). Uncover a pair of rare international curiosities with this fascinating Batman lot showcasing two vintage model kits-Saxhorn and Craigie-released by Chang Mad in 1977. Produced in Hong Kong as part of a small, eccentric line that also included Dickens and Copperfield, these kits offered a wildly imaginative take on the Caped Crusader, far removed from the standard comic book depiction. Both Saxhorn and Craigie showcase stylized, almost surreal interpretations of Batman, complete with bold, non-traditional color schemes and exaggerated sculpts that reflect the creative liberties embraced by Chang Mad's designers. Each model kit remains factory sealed in its original packaging with unused contents, preserving the bold box art and quirky charm that define these elusive collectibles. The packaging displays handling wear along the edges and corners, including corner bends, surface scratching, and scuffing wear throughout. A seldom-seen offering, this duo captures the global reach and reinterpretation of Batman through the lens of 1970s pop culture experimentation.
