Notes
This early issue, gloss black Batmobile has such an attractive high gloss finish. Intact vivid light blue tinted glass. Intact aerial. Brightest bat logos on the wheels, bright gold surround on the wheels and complete and bright Bat logos at both sides of the Batmobile. Suspension on all four wheels notably. Original tyres are well-shaped.
In very close to mint condition!
All functions operate well; chain cutter, rocket launcher and pulsating flame.
Bright intact chrome at cockpit.
Inner card plinth is complete, with lots of atmospheric artwork. A little age wear with a tear or two at a couple of wheel slots.
Lots of information on the plinth reverse:
The Secret Instruction Packet has been opened (small top section missing) and inside are the Secret Instructions and most of the original missiles (some off the sprue and just one missing). Backing for the badge and the original instruction notice which would have been above the badge. No badge however.
The outer box has lots of vivid atmospheric artwork. Some age/handling wear includes a couple of small end flap tears.
