Thanks for looking at my listing.
For sale, I have a great Nomura Batman robot with his original box.Please let me know if you'd like to see any other photos of this cool old toy. I'm happy to provide.
This old treasure is complete and in great shape - it dates to 1968 and was made in Japan.What I thought were paint chips or defects above his switch are actually tab touch ups that were done in production. Most versions with this switch will have a similar l...ook.
Aside from slight play related wear here and there, his biggest issue is that at some point, someone left batteries in his compartment (typical). However, they seem to have caught the mistake quickly and removed them before they heavily affected the old toy. The inside of the battery door shows the most damage - I have not treated or repaired this. I'll leave it for the next owner. Please see photos for a better understanding.His cape and commonly lost yellow bat-clip are intact and in great shape.
He runs as he should, although his stride isn't so strong due to some flattening of his wheels.His head lights up ad glows as it should.
Here is a link to him in action - https://youtu.be/p8vARZjmxRo - cut and paste that into your browser.
**NOTE** like alot of vintage toys, his balance is not the best. When running on today's heavy alkaline D cell batteries, he wobbles and is liable to fall backwards.In this video, he is running on a pair of lighter, lithium rechargeable batts. I prefer to use these when I (infrequently) run my vintage toys.
His harder to find box is in fair shape considering... The graphics are fun and campy - who doesn't think of Batman packing a six-shooter! lol.Even without restoration, this completes a fun and hard to put together display.
There is wear and fading - see pics for better info.Please let me know if there are any other views or images that you'd like to see - I filled all of the photo blocks for ebay, but I can message you more if interested.
Here's your chance to get a great, uncommon set to add to your collection.This toy has been a favorite and a solid centerpiece to many collections.
