Wacky Batmobile Toys & Other Vintage Batman Vehicles!





While checking out my Bat-Photo database ( ha ha ) I noticed a nice set of photos that would make a good post so here we go! Here's a nice assortment of Vintage Batman Toys, all Batmobile-related. The 1st photo is one of my personal favorites. It's a Vintage 1960's Japan Batmobile made by The Japanese LEGO Toy Company. Not to be confused with the Lego Brick toys this car is actually a very cool Trinket Box you can use to store your pencils in. I think it's a beautiful piece of ART! The next item is pretty cool too. It's also a little weird. This is a Bat-Jeep "BATIJEEP" Batman Car from Argentina. Shown here with original magazine ad. It's really bizarre & the fact that Batman & Robin's heads are here, but no bodies, ha ha, is kinda strange! The last 2 photos are a really RARE Batman Diecast Car ( 1:43 Scale ) from Great Britain. Made by a UK Toy Company called Oxford Diecast. The name of it is the "Mini-Ice Cream Van, Batman Special". I love the vintage graphics on this baby, check it out!
