Description

Batman Walkie Talkie Set in Original Box (Lone Star, 1966) UK Market Exclusive. Tune into crime-fighting action with this vintage Batman Walkie Talkie set, released by Lone Star in 1966, a rare find from the height of Batmania. Housed in its original die-cut display box, this unused set showcases bold, colorful artwork of Batman and Robin communicating with their devices, while the inside flaps feature black-and-white illustrations of classic villains including the Riddler, Joker, and Penguin. The box is cleverly designed to fold open for display, revealing cutouts that securely hold the walkie talkies in place, with the original wire tucked neatly behind a Batman pin. The walkie talkies themselves remain clean and unused, free from stains or damage. The box presents beautifully with light corner wear, though the front panel is folded down, and the bottom panel displays some crushing wear, with dried tape residue and bowing along the side panels. Additionally, there is a white square sticker next to Robin's head on the display backer. A charming and elusive piece from Batman's 1960s merchandise legacy, showcasing the Caped Crusader's high-tech flair-just as kids imagined it.
