I had the batman and Robin mego figures for Christmas many years ago. That same Christmas I had the evil knievel toy figure and stunt bike. That sticks in my mind as my favourite Christmas day ever. Wonderful.
Remember having a fight with my brother many, many years ago over his Corgi bat mobile. Think I was trying to get it off him and while we were fighting he had it in his hand and whacked me with it. The rear near side quarter with the pointy bat wing went straight into the palm of my hand. Blood everywhere and I’ve still got the scar to this day almost 50 years later. Happy, happy memories.
Don’t have vintage Batman toys, but in recent years I’ve collected vehicles made by Hot Wheels. Have the beautiful 1:18 scale 1966 and 1989 live action Batmobiles. 1:50 scale 1966 Batboat, Batcopter and my favorite, the Batcycle. Also have a 1:64 ‘66 TV Batmobile. The 1:50 Tumbler and 4” ‘66 Batman action figure from DC Multiverse. He’s very muscular. Not really supposed to look like Adam West. Just has the same suit and he’s really from the Arkham Night video game. But looks superb.
LOVE your list! My first Batman figure was the CA Batman but what changed my life was the day I saw the brand new Mego Batman with RC hanging out of a solid box on a spin rack next to a checkout lane. Pure heaven on earth!! Mego Batmans and Corgi Batmobiles compiled such a huge part of my life. I will never forget them and of course keep plenty in my collection today! Excellent review! I must add your taste is impeccable!!
Never knew Stan Weston was behind Capt. Action. Killer toy!! Ideal Toys and Aurora Plastics were local toy companies to where I used to live. Capt. Action was revived twice by the same company. In late 90s by Playing Mantis. It looked like the old Ideal. Only had a few costumes like Flash Gordon, Lone Ranger and Green Hornet Then more recently under it's New name Round2 LLC, it came back with an all new sculpt and body, and licensing of Marvel. All costumes were like Capt. America, Iron Man, etc. Collect all "Deluxe" costumes, you'd get to have Hawkeye costume.
Gorgi Batmobile at No 1 for me only because I had it and it's playability was immense. I had a rubber latex batman mask/hood from Hamleys in around 1971, that was purely amazing although it would sadly probably be mistaken for a gimps mask today.
Glad to see DC Comics and Warner Bros are finally giving Bill Finger credit as Batman's co-creator. Bob Kane came up with the idea of a guy dressed as a bat, fighting crime, but it was Bill Finger who literally created everything else that was memorable. Batman's look, Robin, the bat mobile, the Bacave, the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler, Commissioner Gordon, Gotham City - all of those things came from the mind of Bill Finger. Great video anyway. Informative and fun as ever.
I don't care for the captain action or the bat belt personally... I really did like the iron winch batman in 1989... I do completely agree with your worst
Honestly, Corgi Batmobile and Mego Batman will always fight it out for the #1 spot in my mind. Corgi nailed everything in that vehicle, and it was the ultimate vehicle toy of it's era, even better then their Aston Martin Bond car. I'm always thrown for a loop when the word 'vintage' is used in these lists...I have no idea when the World becomes vintage instead of contemporary anymore!!!!!!!!!
I bought the Superpowers Batman action figure (4), from the local Shell gas station in 1988. For some reason, the station was carrying limited numbers of these figures. I was twenty and bought Batman because he had been my favourite character as a child. I went back that day and purchased others and managed to get the complete set over the following weeks. I was blown away by these figures, as they were exactly like the DC Comics at the time. Your #3 pick, the Corgi Batmobile should be number one in my opinion, along with the Batboat and the Batcopter, they were absolutely amazing!!!
Geography in Action They were! I remember my set. I lost it. Recently I picked up a diecast set of batmobiles. One was almost the same like the old one just a bit bigger.
I remember seeing TV commercials for the Wayne Foundation, and my Corgi Batmobile, Batcopter and Batboat (with trailer) may be hidden somewhere in my parents' attic.
The sad part for me is that i had all those toys when i was growing up! Now i wish i have them again! I would be making a fortune! One other Batman toy that people or hardly know or you hardly find or see anymore, are the fun things Batman jiggler from 1966, i used to love those! Now They're very hard to find or get! In the period of 15 year's i have found 6 of them, and one is robin, robin is the hardest and rarer to find. I also found the bootleg ones, but i had to pay premium dollars for all of them. Indeed all of those mentioned are some of the best collection. Great video!✌😎👍
I would've added the 1966 Marx Magnetic Gotham City, the 1966 Marx Batman Flashy Flickers filmstrip projector, (It was shaped like a laser rifle), & the 1966 Emenee Batman Electric Drawing Set, (It was a plastic lightbox with stencils for tracing so you could create your own comics scenes). But overall, I do agree with most of your choices!!!! There was SOOOOOOOOO MUCH Batman stuff produced over the years, (ESPECIALLY in 1966 ALONE!!!!!) it would be almost IMPOSSIBLE to list em all!!!!! (LOL)
Great video sir! How the Batman squirt gun ever made it onto the market was beyond me! Hilarious and disturbing at the same time! Great list..I did have the utility belt , I was 5 years old.. It did not stand the test of time.. My brother and I played the Hell out of that thing! We had the costumes as well..fun times.
Loved the 1960s Batman cartoon & live action Adam West TV series. The 1989 Batman & 1995 Batman Forever movies and the 1992 Batman : The Animated Series were the best takes on the character.
That was a neat list, but personally might switch the mego and super powers figures' places. Megos were more articulated but had a bit more trouble standing up on their own and a goofier look. It could be bias from having a super powers Batman as a kid though.
I had the Mego Wayne Foundation. The reason it’s highly sought after is that it was a poorly constructed cardboard piece of junk. Five year old me broke it within months. I still have the Batcomputer, Chair and elevator though. The Mego figures were great though.
Thank you for your informative and very interesting videos. As a child of the 70’s, I whole heartedly agree with your list, Batman is my favorite superhero character, and I loved the 66 TV show and cartoons. The 8” Mego Batman, especially the removable cowl version, would also top my list.
Thanks again for another great video, Mr. Analog Toys. I also consider myself an analog person in a digital world. I have practically every item Mego produced for the 8 inch Batman figures, with the exception of the Wayne Foundation, that I doubt I could ever afford. I'm very happy to again own the Jokermobile and Mobile Bat Lab. I even have the Fist-fighting and removable cowl versions of Batman. It took awhile, but I managed to find the very rare 9 inch Robin on Ebay. And I agree that the Magnetic Batman and Robin are among the best Batman toys. I have two of each. The Remco Batman figures are good too.
I had MEGO Batman Robin Joker n Penguin as a kid along with the Bat Mobile from the JcPenny catalog...wish I had the water gun though LMBO stellar review!
Another great video, many thanks Tony. Still have the Corgi Batmobile, with pull trailer and the Batboat,....in the box . It was and is the coolest. Had the Captain Action, and really wanted that Utility Belt,...but it wasn't meant to be in the 60's. Too bad a child didn't have the funds to buy his own toys. I suppose that is why they are so sought after as was become older,....a bit of our youth to hold on to. Good memories,...thank you for your site and content.
Your content is great pal, really informative and nostalgic. I've lost count of the amount of incredible toys you've made me aware of. Nice one fella, keep the vibe alive.
Everyone had the Bat mobile with firing rockets and front mounted chain cutter. Very disappointment not to see my fav. toy growing up...... The exploding bridge!
I had the Batman figure, but in New Zealand, also quite popular (at least when i was a kid) was the Batman flashlight. It was shaped like a Batman figure, but the very top of his head was a flashlight that projected the bat signal onto a wall. [edit] I think this is a photo of it on Pinterest. - imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/angfrog/batman.jpg
I had the Corgi batmobile in Canada i I think it shot torpedoes out if the back Canons and the front had a metal cutter the figures were small and could be removed I still have the Robin that’s about it .. played the hell out of that thing while watching the live action show
Great video! 1 - The Wayne Foundation, like the Mego Catwoman costume, was an oddity from a brief period of the 1970's. Dick went off to college, and Bruce was inspired to move closer to the city he protected, and so started living in the penthouse of the WF Tower, and having a smaller Bat-lair within. Back then, 'bold changes' took a while before they got reset to status quo. Probably happened about the same time Green K came back in Superman and Diana got her powers back. 2 - Honorable Mention to what is, IMHO, the BEST plastic Batmobile ever, the Kenner Super Powers made for scale with your # 5 entry. As Cameo Man used to put it, Nuff Said. 3 - I lamented the lack of Bat-merch from his very earliest period, since he started in 1939 and the two noted tinplate toy makers we kind of went to war with. By the time hostilities ended, Batman was a different character. So I took a tin repro Bugatti T-35 and made it into a car the 1939 Batman might have used, complete with turning the driver into a big-eared old-school Batman. I'd love to see a pro take on the job.
There is a great meme out there on the Wayne Foundation Playset: "Because the most fun part of playing Batman is making grants to deserving 501c3 organizations."
@@nerdcraftercoley7305 Oh, I had that also. Simple but effective toy, nice cape, too. But really clashed with my 90s Batman (Animated Series) Action Figures
Hey Tony. I thought I'd save the best for last. Batman is my number one all time favorite Super Hero and Robin (Dick Grayson version) is my number 2. I definitely agree with number one on your list. Batman was the first Mego figure I ever got back in 1977 and oddly enough, my second Mego was Robin. I also love #9 on your list. I love the Mego Magnetic Batman & Robin, I had them as a kid and I proudly have them now. And I have the crown jewel of the Mego Collection. As a kid, I got the Mego Wayne Foundation Playset, and to this day, I still have it It's nice to have a collectible ite m in the thousand dollar price range in terms of value and worth. And I love the Kenner Super Powers Batman figure as well as Robin, the Joker, and the Penguin. What really influences me on collecting Batman figures, is that with the blue & grey costumed version, I prefer the matching blue trunks, henceforth one of the reasons I love the Super Powers Batman so much. That comes from being a huge fan of both Batman cartoons by Filmation and the long running SuperFriends series by Hanna Barbera. For my favorite list, I personally love the Batman AHI Parachutist figurine for that same reason, Blue trunks, plus the transparent plastic cape and the Bat Emblem sticker. I always wanted a Robin Parachutist figurine, but I never found him as a kid. It wasn't until years later that I found just a loose figurine, but no cape, emblem, or parachute, but I have him now with a custom made cape and emblem. I also love the Remco Energized Batman and his transparent plastic cape, If I ever get one, I will paint the black trunks blue. I only wish there could have been an Energized Robin as well. And I also love the Ben Cooper rubber Batman figure. I wish they could have made Robin as well. But those are my favorites. Thanks again for these great video reviews. :)
Thanks Tiny. Love you channel. I still have my Corgi Batmobile. Not mint but in good condition. Goes with my James Bond Astom martin DB5 and my Gerry Anderson Dinky die casts.....
No mention of the 1966 Ideal Batman Playset or Batman JLA Playset of which on three complete sets are known to exist? Agreed on the quirt gun for the worst toy, but that makes it even more wanted by Batman collectors.
If you own one, could you make a video on the Corgi Batmobile? My nephew had one, but it was all battered up and had no accessories. I'd like to see it in all its "glory", with the accessories.
I love your channel man! You and Retro Blasting are my 2 favorite vintage toys channels you were the first vintage toy channel I discovered on UA-cam! keep up the awesome work!
My brother had the 13" magnectic Batman and the 8" mego. I had the "Six Million Dollar Man" and the Long Ranger we also had various Mego figures Superman, Star Trek figures, 13" Hulk, Big Jim and his motorcycle. And lots of Tonka vehicles. Some of broke and yes they were tossed oops. He still has 3" GI Joe HQ and figures along with vehicles from early 1980s. Original RD2D2, Han Solo, and various Star Wars from the first 2 movies. Don't remind me of also trowing away our shoe box full of Star Wars card. What did we know!!!
I remember laughing hysterically to this video five years ago...”with reloads fed straight into his Ass”.....I had to find it again. As a Batman collector I still die laughing!! I have an old comment in here I can’t find but...Great job on this video Tony....it’s now a classic!! 👍👍
i've been a fan of your work for quit some time now. It would mean very much to me if you could tell me your opinion about the nostalgic stuff i make. Anyways i'll continue being a Big fan of your work:))
Great Video! My only slight objection is I think the Super Powers Batmobile should have been in there somewhere. That thing was incredible and is probably still the best action figure compatible Batmobile ever made. But great job! I love all your videos.
I was astonished at how well the one I purchased has held up; it is the finest plastic Batmobile ever. I wish Eaglemoss had made an exact duplicate for their collection.
re batman/Spiderman and possibly superman toys, can anyone remember magnetic figures of them that you could take the limbs and heads off and swap them around, so you could have like Batman's head and superman's legs on Spiderman's body? I'm sure I had them, would be the early 80's.
What about the mego Batman exploding bridge set? I still have what’s left of my original one, plus bought a second complete one. I also question a lunch box as a toy. Growing up in the 70’s, I had a lot of lunch boxes, but never played with them.
In the mid ninties..it cost me 250$ for a mint captain action. 200$ for a mint in box gilbert sean Connery 007 ....150$ for both man from uncle mib..150$ for honey west with ocelot.
1st. I love your videos. The chance to see all these great thing I had as a kid, and some I didnt, like Action Force and so on.. 2nd, I am looking for a BatMan and Robin figure I had as a kid. Only 5 P.O.A, with hard plastic capes that would break off if I bent them to get the figures to fit in a black BatMobile with Silver hubcaps and a red bat logo in them. Any idea what these may have been?
Ouch. That water pistol! Hey, is Kenner Super Powers Batman considered vintage? I consider the demise of MEGO in 1982 the end of the vintage action figure age. What year do you think that action figures became modern? This top 10 was a great treat and thank you for sharing.
Hey John Wild, you're probably right about the Kenner Super Powers Batman since eighties toys are more retro than vintage. I used one simple rule when selecting the Top 10 vintage Batman Toys and that was anything made before the 1989 Tim Burton Batman movie.
a little late of a comment, but in 'star wars' collecting i think vintage applies up to about 1985, a few years after 'jedi,' but not until the figures for the 'droids' cartoon were out of production. in that sense, i'd call that toy vintage, especially considering kenner doesn't exist anymore. i guess we all have our own definitions that will vary slightly, eh?
I use to love batman with Adam west TV series it was my favourite show. I had a batman action figure. Good memory's.
I had the batman and Robin mego figures for Christmas many years ago. That same Christmas I had the evil knievel toy figure and stunt bike. That sticks in my mind as my favourite Christmas day ever. Wonderful.
I've never seen one of those Batman water pistols, but it looks like it would be great for a laugh.
Remember having a fight with my brother many, many years ago over his Corgi bat mobile. Think I was trying to get it off him and while we were fighting he had it in his hand and whacked me with it. The rear near side quarter with the pointy bat wing went straight into the palm of my hand. Blood everywhere and I’ve still got the scar to this day almost 50 years later. Happy, happy memories.

That water pistol is just ridiculous. Thanks for sharing.
I realize it's kinda off topic but does anyone know a good website to watch new tv shows online ?
@Cameron James i would suggest FlixZone. Just google for it :)
@Emmett Francis yup, been using flixzone for months myself :D
@Emmett Francis Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it!
@Cameron James no problem =)

Geography in Action
They were! I remember my set. I lost it. Recently I picked up a diecast set of batmobiles. One was almost the same like the old one just a bit bigger.
I had the mego Batman action figure and the tin plated Batmobile which I both wrecked. Always teach your kids toys might be Priceless someday.
I remember seeing TV commercials for the Wayne Foundation, and my Corgi Batmobile, Batcopter and Batboat (with trailer) may be hidden somewhere in my parents' attic.

My friends and I played with that Corgi Batman car every chance we had
The water pistol. Never seen that before. Hope I never see it again.
I could never know these toys and I am so amazed that you have some of them.
Great video sir! How the Batman squirt gun ever made it onto the market was beyond me! Hilarious and disturbing at the same time! Great list..I did have the utility belt , I was 5 years old.. It did not stand the test of time.. My brother and I played the Hell out of that thing! We had the costumes as well..fun times.

Awesome video thank you for sharing had a lot of the toys Special Batman& robin 1960’s action figure
Corgi Batmobile is number 1 in my book.
On my list the Mego pocket superheroes would be on there. Those were my first action figures as a child.
I do really like the Mego Pocket Superheroes
That was a neat list, but personally might switch the mego and super powers figures' places. Megos were more articulated but had a bit more trouble standing up on their own and a goofier look. It could be bias from having a super powers Batman as a kid though.
I had the Mego Wayne Foundation. The reason it’s highly sought after is that it was a poorly constructed cardboard piece of junk. Five year old me broke it within months. I still have the Batcomputer, Chair and elevator though. The Mego figures were great though.
Thank you for your informative and very interesting videos. As a child of the 70’s, I whole heartedly agree with your list, Batman is my favorite superhero character, and I loved the 66 TV show and cartoons. The 8” Mego Batman, especially the removable cowl version, would also top my list.

It would mean very much to me if you could tell me your opinion about the nostalgic stuff i make.
Whelp...I know a water gun I'm definitely looking for now...hilarious 😂😂😂
The MEGO Batcave was brilliant too
I remember having a bunch of different 8 inch Mego's as a kid. I only had one 12 inch it was the Superman
Thanks again for another great video, Mr. Analog Toys. I also consider myself an analog person in a digital world.
I have practically every item Mego produced for the 8 inch Batman figures, with the exception of the Wayne Foundation, that I doubt I could ever afford. I'm very happy to again own the Jokermobile and Mobile Bat Lab. I even have the Fist-fighting and removable cowl versions of Batman.
It took awhile, but I managed to find the very rare 9 inch Robin on Ebay.
And I agree that the Magnetic Batman and Robin are among the best Batman toys. I have two of each. The Remco Batman figures are good too.
Very nice list. I would have put the Corgi Batmobile at one for authenticity. You left out that Corgi had the Batboat available also.
Great list, for me personally the Super Powers Batman takes the no.1 spot with the standard Mego 12" Batman a close second
I had MEGO Batman Robin Joker n Penguin as a kid along with the Bat Mobile from the JcPenny catalog...wish I had the water gun though LMBO stellar review!

Great videos! It's a shame your not a few yrs younger and did 90s toys too kuz that's my childhood lol 😊
Everyone had the Bat mobile with firing rockets and front mounted chain cutter. Very disappointment not to see my fav. toy growing up...... The exploding bridge!
Me go too... I had 3 of the toys just mentioned moc and mib.
I have#1 with both Batman and Robin also with the car, but don't know how much it would sell for

My favorite growing up in the 80s was Michael Keaton bat man figure with the pull out belt.
I know its more retro then vintage but still my favorite
@@nerdcraftercoley7305 Oh, I had that also. Simple but effective toy, nice cape, too. But really clashed with my 90s Batman (Animated Series) Action Figures
I remember that batmobile at my nans in the 70s, must have been my uncles.

had 2 batmobiles, I think one was plastic and one was something like a funky diecast toy
Thanks Tiny. Love you channel. I still have my Corgi Batmobile. Not mint but in good condition. Goes with my James Bond Astom martin DB5 and my Gerry Anderson Dinky die casts.....
i absolutely love your vintage toy videos. its so much fun to look at where toys originated from and you do a fantastic Job showing them
Thanks so much!
@@AnalogToys anytime :)
Only came across this channel a few days ago and I must say this is a great channel absolutely love it
Loved Video and List.
No mention of the 1966 Ideal Batman Playset or Batman JLA Playset of which on three complete sets are known to exist? Agreed on the quirt gun for the worst toy, but that makes it even more wanted by Batman collectors.
If you own one, could you make a video on the Corgi Batmobile? My nephew had one, but it was all battered up and had no accessories. I'd like to see it in all its "glory", with the accessories.
Agreed Mego 8" Batman is #1. I still have my Robin but I only have Batman's head for some reason. Great Review Tony
Anthony Whitehead yeah it's such a classic toy, it had to be number 1
I love your channel man! You and Retro Blasting are my 2 favorite vintage toys channels you were the first vintage toy channel I discovered on UA-cam! keep up the awesome work!
My brother had the 13" magnectic Batman and the 8" mego. I had the "Six Million Dollar Man" and the Long Ranger we also had various Mego figures Superman, Star Trek figures, 13" Hulk, Big Jim and his motorcycle. And lots of Tonka vehicles. Some of broke and yes they were tossed oops. He still has 3" GI Joe HQ and figures along with vehicles from early 1980s. Original RD2D2, Han Solo, and various Star Wars from the first 2 movies. Don't remind me of also trowing away our shoe box full of Star Wars card. What did we know!!!
hahaha loved the WTF trophy
I love the hat - awesome 👍
I have to say that water gun is amazing. I have a Popeye version .
Great Video, agreed with most. The magnetic hands and feet would by my number 1, but dangerous for current electronics. Thanks for such great content.
That water pistol, ha ha ha!!! That’s freaking insane. WTF!? !
I remember laughing hysterically to this video five years ago...”with reloads fed straight into his Ass”.....I had to find it again. As a Batman collector I still die laughing!! I have an old comment in here I can’t find but...Great job on this video Tony....it’s now a classic!! 👍👍
I would have had the Batman Helmet and Cape Boxed Toy Set (Ideal, 1966) on the list.
Still have my magnetic Batman !
Not entirely a toy but Batman alarm clock deserves honorable mention
Great work guys but Corgi's Batmobile will always be No 1 for me!
Your #9 pick should've been in the top 3
Ideal Batman utility belt
Loving your work. The water pistol made me howl.
Great video. Those are all awesome toys. I have some of those myself. Just found your channel and subbed you.
Subscribing now. Very informative channel, love the nostalgia.
Really appreciate the support. I hope you enjoy the content!
"holy mega merchandising batman!"
good stuff.. now video the kinda new funko size batmobile with batman and robin
i've been a fan of your work for quit some time now. It would mean very much to me if you could tell me your opinion about the nostalgic stuff i make. Anyways i'll continue being a Big fan of your work:))
The 1939/ 1940 composite superman was the first action figure made for boys and the 1966 marx figure was the first batman figure
Great stuff! Batman is my favorite DC hero!
Excellent video.
Great Video! My only slight objection is I think the Super Powers Batmobile should have been in there somewhere. That thing was incredible and is probably still the best action figure compatible Batmobile ever made. But great job! I love all your videos.
We obviously have similar taste my friend, the Super Powers Batmobile very nearly made the list, it was very cool!
I was astonished at how well the one I purchased has held up; it is the finest plastic Batmobile ever. I wish Eaglemoss had made an exact duplicate for their collection.
re batman/Spiderman and possibly superman toys, can anyone remember magnetic figures of them that you could take the limbs and heads off and swap them around, so you could have like Batman's head and superman's legs on Spiderman's body? I'm sure I had them, would be the early 80's.
Magnetic Batman 12” should # 2
Nice vid, my collection is all new batman every thing from a batman kinder egg to full scale statues. Maybe 1 day it will be worth something
Great video as always, 👍
What about the mego Batman exploding bridge set? I still have what’s left of my original one, plus bought a second complete one. I also question a lunch box as a toy. Growing up in the 70’s, I had a lot of lunch boxes, but never played with them.
They are actually very popular nowadays. Especially if they still have the thermos. I love the artwork on some of them
That Japanese Batman stuff looks wayyu better than things released here in the U.S.
I remember in the late 80s my granny giving me a 12 inch mego batman had him for years played with him till he fell apart
I'm glad my video brought back such good memories for you!
Analog Toys thanks keep up the great videos, by the way you've a serious action man collection
Thanks so much
They had the Corgi Batmobile but did they have the ultra rare Green Hornet's Black Beauty car?
Terrific review, had a lot of these
Great video
I hope that Joker did not get damaged when it fell!
best toys of all time batman water pistol
keep up the good work
Cool....
In the mid ninties..it cost me 250$ for a mint captain action. 200$ for a mint in box gilbert sean Connery 007 ....150$ for both man from uncle mib..150$ for honey west with ocelot.
1st. I love your videos. The chance to see all these great thing I had as a kid, and some I didnt, like Action Force and so on..
2nd, I am looking for a BatMan and Robin figure I had as a kid. Only 5 P.O.A, with hard plastic capes that would break off if I bent them to get the figures to fit in a black BatMobile with Silver hubcaps and a red bat logo in them.
Any idea what these may have been?
You forgot the batman playset big over the head helmet and Cape belt
Ouch. That water pistol! Hey, is Kenner Super Powers Batman considered vintage? I consider the demise of MEGO in 1982 the end of the vintage action figure age. What year do you think that action figures became modern? This top 10 was a great treat and thank you for sharing.
Hey John Wild, you're probably right about the Kenner Super Powers Batman since eighties toys are more retro than vintage. I used one simple rule when selecting the Top 10 vintage Batman Toys and that was anything made before the 1989 Tim Burton Batman movie.
a little late of a comment, but in 'star wars' collecting i think vintage applies up to about 1985, a few years after 'jedi,' but not until the figures for the 'droids' cartoon were out of production. in that sense, i'd call that toy vintage, especially considering kenner doesn't exist anymore. i guess we all have our own definitions that will vary slightly, eh?
The mego joker was used in robot chicken
