Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

From the collection: Marx Batman Pinball Game

One of my absolute favorite items is this vintage Batman pinball game. It’s about two feet tall and looks great hanging on the wall. It was produced by Marx in 1966 and they’re not easy to come by, but if you ever find one, I would strongly recommend pouncing on it. I lucked out on eBay for this one a while ago and paid around $50 for it, but a few year’s back, one sold at Hake’s in its original box for over $800!

The graphics on this game board perfectly summarize the 1960’s era Batman. You remember Fox, Vulture, and Shark, don’t you?

Pow! Down goes Blockbuster!

1966 was a magical year for Batman, and in my opinion, this Batman pinball game is one of the best toys produced.

    Fantastic! Just an exceptional item. I am jealous…
    I passed on MIB Mego James Bond figures today, cause the price seemed a little high. I can’t stand how thrift shops look stuff up on ebay to price items, but they only look at the highest “buy it now” prices, which in no way reflect what people will actually pay.
    But still, I was sad to let the badly sculpted likeness of Roger Moore pass me by.
    I have no else I can tell these things to.

      I’ll always listen! 😉

      What were they asking for them? I can’t believe you saw Mego toys at a thrift store! Sometimes you can negotiate, they’re in the business to make money.

    That has some of the best graphics on a Batman toy to be sure. It’s funny that Penguin is on the small side with room around him, but the rest of the thing is crammed. I have an issue of Detective with Fox, Vulture and Shark on it, so weird and no Joker?
