VINTAGE 1989 TOYBIZ BATMAN COLLECTION

BATMOBILE WITH COCOON

Year Released - 1989
Status - Rare
eBay SOLD Price - USD124.97 + USD88.65 Shipping on June 2024. Condition: Complete with box.

I've bought and sold about 5 sets of these Batmobiles. They are highly sought after. There are two versions of this - One with the cocoon shield (1st release) and one without (2nd release). The cocoon is made of flimsy plastic, which easily tears. Obviously the 1st release with the cocoon is more valuable. I have two sets of these Batmobile with cocoon, one is mint and new in box and another one is used but complete with box. The second one is use for loose display.

Play Features: Cocoon Shell, Firing missiles (2 included), opening back hatch and Rolling 'turbine' sound.



BATWING

Year Released : 1989
Status: Rare
eBay SOLD Price: USD199 + USD99 shipping on June 2024. Condition - New in box.

I've also bought and sold 3 sets of Batwing. They are quickly snapped up if they are mint and complete. The Batwing I am keeping is new and mint (pic below).

Play Features: opening cockpit, firing missiles (6 included) with trigger handle & villain crunching action!



BATCAVE

Year Released : 1989
Status : Rare 
eBay Sold Price : USD349.99 + USD49.53 on June 2024. Condition : New & sealed.

This set comes with a lot of parts and accessories. Finding a set that is complete is quite hard in the secondary market. Luckily I managed to get one that is new and complete.

Play Features - Batcave with bat computer, trap doors, jail cell, falling boulder and winch.




BATMAN, JOKER AND BOB THE JOKER'S GOON FIGURES

Year Released : 1989
Status : Rare
eBay SOLD Price : 

Batman - USD29.96 + USD27.50 shipping on June 2024. Condition - mint on card
Joker - USD29.90 + USD25.07 shipping on June 2024. Condition - mint on card. 
Bob - USD27.99 + 28.72 shipping on June 2024. Condition - mint on card.

There are variations to the Batman figure like square jaw and round jaw. 

Many years ago, I traded some toys for a Spanish version of Batman, made by Star Toys. This version is SUPER RARE with a asking price of EURO 320 + EURO 35 shipping on eBay. Pic below are my regular Toybiz version figures. My Star Toy version is kept in storage, quite troublesome to dig it up for photography.

Batcycle - Drop down Batwings & Kick Stand
Joker Cycle - Launching Side Car

Year Released : 1989

eBay SOLD Prices: 
Batman Cycle - USD88 + USD59.23 shipping on Apr 2024. Condition - Mint in box

eBay SOLD Price : USD22.99 + USD63.70 shipping. Condition: Mint in Box.



There's one more Toybiz vehicle to complete my "wish-list" and that is the Joker's Van. This is pretty hard to come by and quite pricy.

Clover was the first company that sponsored the anime and made Gundam toys. However due to low sales of the toys and ratings, the Gundam anime was cut short.

The relatively short period where Clover had the Gundam license made Clover Gundam toys highly sought after and collectible. These are my Clover Gundam collection. GUNDAM COMBINATION SET.  This toy is reviewed in detail in my old blog here:  1970s VINTAGE CLOVER GOKIN GATTAI GUNDAM COMBINATION SET . My specimen is complete.

These gashapon toys from 2002-2003, are already considered vintage as there are over 25 years old. I reviewed the Popy Gashapon Chogokins in my previous blog. Check them out here: BANDAI GASHAPON - POPY CHOGOKIN COLLECTION PART 1 BANDAI GASHAPON - POPY CHOGOKIN COLLECTION PART 2 BANDAI GASHAPON - POPY CHOGOKIN COLLECTION PART 3 These Popy Gashapons are getting rarer and expensive to get the set above.  There are no data on eBay on SOLD price for the entire set. But just the Grendizer/Goldorak Spazer set alone was sold for USD172.20 + USD18.37 Shipping on Apr 22, 2025. So you can imagine the price for the complete sets.  **************************************************************************** Bandai also made Popynica Gashapon toys. I didn't get them earlier because I wasn't into vehicles and ships. Only later did I realize there were mini ships that combined to form Voltes 5 and Combattra in these sets. The price for these had skyrocketed and they are probably the top thre...
