Description

Battery-operated Batman Robot with Original Box (Bandai, 1960's). This rare Batman robot wears a classic light blue costume with a yellow utility belt and dark blue accessories. He stands at 10.5" tall and was released by Bandai in the 1960's. The body is lithographed with shading and bright blue colors, the yellow belt with 'Batman' printed on the buckle. The head is painted vinyl and the cape is dyed fabric. Battery-operated, the robot walks forward with his arms swinging when activated with the switch on his back. Even rarer than the robot itself is the Japanese writing box which is in excellent condition for its fifty plus years. The robot is very clean with minimal scratches and nicks. It has deep blue and gray colors and a clean vinyl head. The cape is faded from the original blue and has a few small brown spots. The box is solid with no tears and has bright rich colors. Beautiful overall, the box top has some small bends and creases while the box bottom has a few small dents. The robot has not been tested and no guarantee can be made of its working condition.
