Batman Red Bat Copter (Tudor Rose, 1966)....

Description

Batman Red Bat Copter (Tudor Rose, 1966). This very rare red Batman Batcopter was produced in the UK by Tudor Rose and may be the only complete boxed sample in existence. Based on the Sikorsky helicopter S-51 Dragonfly, it is made of red plastic and has yellow paper Batman stickers on the side. The box art features a batman leaping with a cityscape behind him while the sides have him leaning out of the copter toward a running criminal. The top of the box has artwork of Batman running with the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance while Robin pilots the Batcopter from above. The box also bears the Tudor Rose logo and is marked National Periodical Publications Inc. 1966. The box is still wrapped in cellophane, however it has ton on the front window on the left and right sides. The top and bottom of the box have been pulled toward each other, likely from cellophane shrinkage. The graphics are still bright and retain good color.
