I think you've given a great personal saluted to a (super) hero of our generation... an actor who made a massive impact to Batfans and collectors alike. Yep, of course I'll take a couple of snaps of the AHI Batplane... be a pleasure. Never had the talking Batmobile, but it sounds fab :)Tony Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-2806332112897583702017-06-18T18:56:55.053+01:002017-06-18T18:56:55.053+01:00Thanks Tone.

That AHI Batplane sounds brilliant. Any chance of a snap? I once bought a short stubby plastic friction Batplane, which I enjoyed having until I sold it and somewhere in the attic is the vintage Talking batmobile in a bag in bits, another unfinished project from my toy stall days. Maybe its time that small record inside it was played once again, it may even be Adam's actual voice! Holy Vinyl!WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-29526418326267079562017-06-18T18:50:54.560+01:002017-06-18T18:50:54.560+01:00You had the lot Kid!

Yep, those Corgi's were classics and I could out-riddle the Riddler about the different features of the die-cast Batmobile: the small red phone, the rear missiles and that uber-cool wire-cutter saw at the front. I recall the Hsky version but for some reason I'm getting it mixed up with Corgi Juniors version in my head. All I can see of the Husky is the plastic silver chromed base. And yes, the Plastoid badge. I still have that somewhere! I shall read you bat wellies post tonight over a cold beer whilst hanging upside down from the ceiling.WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-31701423402922953062017-06-16T17:24:46.625+01:002017-06-16T17:24:46.625+01:00Great to see this well deserved tribute to Adam We...Great to see this well deserved tribute to Adam West, Woodsy. Yep, his Batman enthralled me as a nipper, and still captures my imagination to this day. I've a few Batman items which mean a great deal to me, including a 1977 AHI battery operated blue plastic Batplane and a few other bits and pieces. By the way, I really like your JLA set pictured above and Kid's Marx twisty Batman... both are brilliant vintage Batman treasures in my opinion.

(See my post 'When Batman Wore Wellington Boots' - if you haven't already.) Got the Corgi Batmobile and Batcopter, the Husky Batmobile, the Aurora Batman kit, the Marx Twisty Batman, a Plastoid Batman badge, the Topps cards, '60s colouring books, comics, books, etc., and others I've forgotten for the moment. Happy days.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.com
