Item Description
Original plastic bag w/4.5x4.75" die-cut header card (perforations at top edge indicate header card may not be complete) that features Batman and Spanish "New!" text. Most likely made in Argentina, c. 1966. Bag contains 10.5" long hard plastic boat that has battery-powered propeller and moving rudder w/on/off switch on top of motor in front of cockpit. Generic boat toy was re-purposed as a Batman toy to capitalize on Batmania craze and features batsymbol decal on front and separate painted hard plastic Batman head in cockpit w/vinyl cape w/small batsymbol sticker. Cape shows wear and underside of boat has 1" streak/melt mark, but toy works. Fine/VF. Bag shows moderate wear/dust soiling. Header card has hole punched at top center (not as produced) and some handling wear. Both are VG. Rare and first we've seen.
