    Yep, mainly Bristol and surrounding areas.
    These were a nice random surprise, its unusual to find bootlegs like this still on the card.

    Haha, i have a spare room filling-up with boxes and bags full of toys and books!

    Here's a fun one from the same seller i got the Warriors of the Zodiac,
    i'm guessing 80's but could be wrong:

    Anyone know what these are called? . . . . the makers stamp is hard to read.
    I think it says 'colorific'. Nothing relevant is coming up on a search using that . . .

    Found this one in a vintage arcade . . . . Batmobile by Tomy 1977.
    Distributed by Palitoy in the UK.
    9" Long.

    Originally you'd push the button on the top and various phrases by the dynamic duo would be heard.
    This one is not working. I think there is a piece missing inside the battery compartment . . . . but, for a fiver i'm not complaining.

    For a fiver I wouldn't complain either. Nice find. I thought this version had stickers of the Dynamic Duo on the side windows, but there have been so many Batmobiles produced i'm probably remembering a different one.

    ^^ As far as i can see on the internet it originally came with a set of stickers but they were all red bat-symbols like the one on the door.
    Kids could stick them wherever they wanted . . . there were a few cut-out ones you could stick on the wheels too.

    Looks like if you want one working with the original box you have to pay silly money!

    Very interesting...thanks for the clarification. I rather like your version with understated application of stickers versus the one pictured above.

    It's empty but I can still smell some of it.
