BATMAN'S COCKPIT

I saw this ultra cool Lincoln Batamaran cockpit on auction and instantly thought of my ......


.... the Project SWORD Dyna Soar cockpit!

Are they the same shape?

Here's the Batamaran toy in all its bat-tastic glory. What a beautiful toy!




and here's a Dyna Soar, staple classic of Moonbase.


Have you got either or both?

    An interesting comparison, Woodsy. I've got both toys but in different places so I'll check upon that at some point. By the looks of it, the curve of the cockpit seems a bit different between them.

    There is also a wonderful Lincoln Catamaran toy from which the Batamaran is a derivation.

    I've never seen the Batman toy before, Woodsy. It looks fantastic... although not surprised Arto has one in his collection :)
    Wonder what year it was released?

      Not sure Tone. Late Sixties I guess. DC's finest hour getting hold of Batman. Or is Superman their best property i wonder?

      I agree Mark. Bats makes any egg a souffle! He's the best comic character I reckon!
