Group of 12 vintage DC Comics Superman and Batman toys and memorabilia. Includes five Azrak-Hamway 1974 "Official Batcycle" pull-strap toys; two Ideal Toy 1965 hand puppets; one Cosmec "Superman Telecomandato" (remote controlled) plastic figure made in Italy; one Acme 1965 "Superman Movie Viewer" with film strips; one Hope 1991 Superman quartz watch; one Arjon 1987 "Fridge-Sitters" magnet; and a small plush Superman figure in a poly bag. Largest 12" x 8 1/2".

Condition: The collection shows varying degrees of age-related wear consistent with vintage toys. The original packaging exhibits creasing to the cardbacks, minor tears and staple wear to the puppet headers, and typical yellowing or light scuffing to the clear plastic blisters and poly bags. The AHI Batcycles remain factory-sealed on cards. The Cosmec Superman box shows some shelf wear and corner blunting. All mechanical and electronic components, including the remote-control Superman, the pull-strap cycles, and the quartz watch, are untested and sold as-is. The fabric components of the puppets and plush show minor fading but remain intact.

Notice to bidders: The absence of a condition report does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition. Photos are considered part of the condition report. Complete condition information is available by request, please request no later than 24 hours prior to the auction. All lots are offered and sold "as is", and Willow Auctions will not provide refunds based on condition. Timepiece movements, lighting and electrics have not been tested, and art has not been examined out of the frame unless otherwise stated. We have our own in-house shipping program.  Please request in-house shipping, if needed.


All items remain in their original, unopened factory packaging. The figures themselves appear to be in unplayed-with, mint condition. The cardbacks and plastic blisters exhibit varying degrees of age-related shelf wear, including corner dings, edge wear, surface creasing, and original retail price stickers. Several plastic blisters show typical UV-related yellowing or light crushing. One cardback (Mighty Crusaders) shows a significant horizontal crease and some separation. Overall, the collection is well-preserved for display.
