Hi
I just found this on Amazon (listed on both UK and US). A Kindle book called Rack Toys - Cheap, Crazed Playthings, Brian Heiler, 2017. There does not look to be a print edition.
If you click on Look Inside, you get to see a few pages. There is a plastic Batman Seaplane from the 1960s. I actually had a non-Batman version of that plane in the 1970s.
At least I think it is the same toy. A Grumman amphibian from the 1940s, so it would be the right period for the early Batman. Looks like a fun read.

That's a great looking book Paul. I love rack toys. I especially did as a kid.
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff, it reminded me that in the early 70s, I had one of those Clark Kent polythene figures. I also had one of him breaking a chain and best of all, one of Clark in glasses and business suit, pulling open his shirt to reveal the S logo!
ReplyDeleteThere is a print edition and it's had a second print run, about a year ago!
