Description

DC Batman (467-149) Model Kit AFA 85+ ** POP 1, Highest Grade ** (Aurora, 1966). Aurora's Batman model kit (#467‑149), released during the height of Silver Age Batman mania, presents the Caped Crusader in a dramatic leaping pose-vaulting from a tree branch with cape billowing behind him, rather than settling into a static stance. The lively, comic-inspired artwork evokes the kinetic energy of the era and remains one of Aurora's most visually potent superhero kits. This particular kit, graded AFA 85+ NM+, holds the distinction of being the only item graded at this level, with no higher grades recorded. That makes it the pop‑1, highest-graded Batman kit known-an extraordinarily rare and pristine example for high-end collectors of licensed model kits, vintage DC memorabilia, or Aurora's influential toy-era art. A standout piece from the golden age of action-figure and model memorabilia-rare, remarkably preserved, and ready to become the crown jewel of any collector's shelf.
