Description

DC Batman Batcycle (810-100) Model Kit AFA 90+ ** POP 1, Highest Grade ** (Aurora, 1967). As the Batman television series soared to pop-culture dominance in the mid-1960s, Aurora Plastics capitalized on the craze with some of the most stylish and imaginative model kits ever produced. Among the rarest and most visually dynamic was the 1967 Batcycle (810-100), inspired by the sleek vehicle that debuted in the 1966 Batman movie. Its futuristic contours, dual sidecar, and vivid box art by Bob Powell captured the boundless optimism and design flair of the Silver Age - when Batman and Robin ruled not just Gotham, but American toy aisles. Graded AFA 90+ NM+/MT, this pristine example ranks as the highest-graded copy on record (POP 1), a museum-quality survivor from Aurora's original DC Comics licensing run. A crown jewel of 1960s DC memorabilia, the Batcycle remains an icon of atomic-age design - equal parts television nostalgia and model kit artistry. For collectors of Aurora, Batman, or vintage pop-culture ephemera, this top-tier example is a definitive piece of Gotham history, frozen in near mint perfection.
