I remember buying a loose Remco Batman from 1978 at an evening toy fair in the late 1990's. Normanton I think. It was an exciting find as I'd only just read about these 'action figures'.
Made of a similar hard plastic to my beloved Captain Laser by Mattel, Remco's energized toys combined great DC looks - Batman, Spider-Man and Superman, with that universally fascinating device, the winch.
These 12 inch figures could go up and down on a nylon line and I was thrilled to find that my own car boot find actually worked. I was sad to sell it a few years later.
Here's the 1979 TV ad for the uber-cool Remco energised Spidey.
Have you got a Remco energised DC figure?
