    Utility belts was quite the toy theme phenomena, while some (Batman / Zorro maybe Captain America) made allot of sense, others not so much.
    Not that it ever needed to, what made sense or not must have been a kind of a crapshoot to a kid navigating the utility belt isle? LOL!






    Also I imagine these would be re-imagined today as specifically only ever having been grapple-firing "guns".

    Also had a Star Trek - http://www.plaidstallions.com/remco/rem6.jpg

    Again not mine: This ^ surprised me, I've seen the 1939 Superman wooden figure, I believe the first ever made.
    I did not know, there was also a Batman, (unless it's a custom?) that is a golden-age treasure.

    I would track the image to get the details, If I knew how to navigate printerest which has coopted my image searching.
    If it's real i wonder if there was a Wonder Woman too.

    I only had one. My parents were very strict because of their religious beliefs. But they loosened up about Batman a couple times and I got this toy.

    That one came in a couple of sizes too.
    The larger Corgi had a more detailed Superman inside, and the fists fired!

    Then it was re-imagined heavily stylized for the Super-Powers line, the krypto-rams somewhat represented the fists.


    And just in case from the "DC TOYS THAT JUST DON'T MAKE SENSE!" thread

    Supposed to mimic his flight, invulnerability, speed, ability to punch ...etc. Just think of it more as armor he's wearing, but it's in the form of a ship.

    I had a Batcopter but I've never been able to find a photo of it.

    It was blue and had a clear plastic 'windshield' that would snap open. The cockpit was rather large - my 8 inch action figures of Batman, Robin, and Batgirl could all fit in the cockpit. It also had large blue propellers.

    Of course, it had several Batman stickers on the outside base. It was pretty nice and I loved that it was large enough for the action figures.

    Likely the Empire brand Helicopter, which sold rescue Copters and Vans to compete with and compliment the 8" Mego scale figures to 12", (catalog even used Mego figures in the adverts) their Batcopter was much better than the lame Mego one. They also made one for Spidey, and the Hulk (cause that is a guy you want flying the choper!

    That Batmobile was Mego's who also had a VW camper van which became a Joker Mobile and Mobile Bat-Lab



    Although like the Rescue Copter, Empire Toys did also have their own competing Rescue Van...
    Again showcasing Spider-man and the Hulk:



    That Spider-Man Red and Yellow themed Crime Lab , actually would have made more sense as a
    Barry Allen / (secret)Flash Mobile Crime-Lab.

    Ideal: batman "Equipment Set" - Utility-Belt, Cowl, Cape and display.




    The Batman page from the 1977 Heroes World catalog- with another piece of Kubert art!

    The iconic Batman NES game by Sunsoft. It's hard as balls, but fun. I still haven't beaten it to this day.
