RARE TOY : 1966 Batman SWITCH-N-GO Mattel


Here's an awesome picture of the super-RARE "Batman SWITCH-N-GO" made by Mattel in 1966!! Look at that beautiful Batmobile Toy! I also love the graphics on the BOX. This toy is one of the holy grails of Bat-Collecting. I have only seen it one time in 20 years of hardcore hunting! I have gone to tons of local collectible toy shows here in Oklahoma, Kansas, Chicago, Texas, etc...I mean, the toy show I used to go to in Chicago was an international show that brought all the millionaire collectors from all over the world! That's where I saw it. A guy practically had a whole booth dedicated to just this one item, a total ego trip if you ask me, because he was asking an extremely high price! I think he knew no one would pay his stupid inflated price & I think he just wanted to show it off plus torture collectors with it. Those kinda "dealers" make me sick! I deal toys for a living & it's hard. Especially in today's world where every retired person, soccer mom, & anyone with a computer is an eBay "dealer"! To set-up at a show just to display stuff to torture people is kinda twisted! Needless to say, after the show, he took it home, happy to have crushed alot of people's dreams. Whew! Sorry to go off on a rant but it makes me mad thinkin' about it! ( As always, Click the Small Pic for a Bigger One! )
