Batman Japanese Tin Plate Wind-up Tricycle (Masuyada, 1966)....

Description

Batman Japanese Tin Plate Wind-up Tricycle (Masuyada, 1966). This incredibly rare key-in wind up Batman tricycle was produced by Masuyada in 1966 for the Japanese market. It features a red-cowled Batman riding on a yellow plastic tricycle with lithographed tin plate wheels and bell on the back. The small stubby Batman has a flesh-colored body and large head with a blue cape behind him. The box included is a reproduction and has a photo of the cover of the original box. The figure and bike are in excellent condition for their age with a hint of fading. The cape is a bright blue with a few faded spots. The tin lithographed parts show very little scratches or wear and have vibrant colors. The key has not been wound, so no guarantee can be made of the toy's working condition. The box is in poor condition.
