Official Batman Utility Belt with Original Box (Ideal, 1966). One of the most sought-after Batman toys, the Official Batman Utility Belt was released by Ideal in 1966. The box is an Australian early version original which is not stamped with "Hollis, 23, NY" and did not come with a cellophane window. The box also contains the original backer card. Included in the set are the all original Utility Belt with Bat-storage pouch and dummy transmitter, Batarang, Batcuffs, Batrope and Grappling Hook, Batgun Launcher, metal Batsignal Flash, Batrocket Grenade, and Batman Message Sender (top only). Missing from the set are the stem to the message sender and the top of the flashlight. The belt itself is in great shape and is uncracked. The Batrocket red stem is slightly bent and the Batarang has some scratches but is uncracked. The sticker on the belt has a wrinkle and the stem of the message sender is broken off. The staple is still present in the belt but has come separated from the backer card. The box cover has good color but edge wear. There are creases at the four corners and there are tears at three corners of the die cut window. Overall, the set is near complete and will display well in your collection.
