RIGHT, ALTOGETHER NOW - "DAH-DAH-DAH-DAH-DAH-DAH-DAH - BATMAN!"

 Another big Television hit of the '60s was BATMAN, which - much like THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. - resulted in a wealth of merchandising. Released in 1965 - some months before the TV show hit the airwaves - the AURORA plastic model kit of the Caped Crusader no doubt benefitted from a boost in sales due to the popularity of the programme when it aired in 1966.

Just thought you might like to see it. And it's all mine. Oh, and here's the box, too.
