I remembered seeing this gorgeous batcycle on Ed Kelly's Batman toys list.
Its number 72 on Ed's rarest 100 toys.
I had thought it was Tudor Rose but it turns out its an Italian make, Il Giocattolo, made in Hong Kong.
Anyway, I've found this similar non-Bats version of the bike online!
I wonder if its easier to find this one?
Made in Hong Kong, this old Hakes listing suggests its by Telsalda but the E logo on the box front suggests otherwise, although I don't recognise the E. Do you?
Is it possible that they are more or less the same two motorcycles?

ReplyDeleteThey certainly look very similar, Woodsy. It seems that in those days everyone tried to jump on the Bat-wagon by adjusting their already existing toys. The Lincoln Catamaran / Batamaran being another example of the phenomenon.
