Battery Operated Batman

[aburabusimbutu]

In the spirit of an earlier thread titled, "What's your favorite Bat-Toy" I thought I'd share a few of my favorite battery operated Batman toys I have recently re-discovered I had as I poked around through the boxes in my basement. I really love these toys a lot, I guess because they are trying so hard not to be accurate with their loud colors and naive toy designs. The last one has Batman on a horse and it cracks me up because it is so goofy with the whole concept and the red cape! It is a knock-off actually, the box called him "Silver Bat"! The horse gallops really well!

Wow!! Like you say some of the kookiest toys are somehow sometimes the best. Thanks for sharing mate. The bike and side car and really cool and the Batmobile of course. To quote Mr Freeze in the TV show "W-I-I-I-L-L-D!".

Very cool!

Kevin, nice pics broh! .
I too have the Batcycle & sidecar, goofy Batman expression but still very cool.
I havent seen the Horse batman before excellent piece.
The batmobile there has been on my want list for many years. There is also a Red one, Gold one and a hard to find Black version of these cars.

Thanks for showing these toys to us. ;D

I love all three of these! The BAT-Bike and side car is just the greatest. I love BATMAN's face.I've never quite seen him looking like that before.I'm guessing these are all from the 1960's to the early 70's from the looks of them.

Is that the original horse that came with the SILVER-BAT? It looks like it could have gone with any number of toys.

Real cool stuff. Thanks for the show and tell.

That red and gold Batmobiles have been on my wish list forever too but they are muy expensive $$$$. I'm not familiar with the black one but I'll bet it's a beaut!

That is the original horse that the Silver Bat came on and I think it is the most modern of the three toys- circa 1980's. My guess would be that the company that made it probably did use that same horse to stick whatever knock-off character they thought was popular on it. Robocop on a horse, Spider-Man on a horse, Power Ranger on a horse, Mr. T on a horse, ALF on a horse?
It would have been a little extra icing on the cake if they'd spent just a bit more effort to give him a Bat-horse!

They are so cool!There's something special about all these old Bat-Toys that i can't get enough of.They fetch far too high a price for me to be in the running though.But i'll be happy to drool at yours instead.
