You've done an immaculate job on painting the Batman Aurora kit there, Kid (as well as the Superboy kit you posted on another blog entry). I also had the 1970s reissue of the Batman kit, but have to confess that I was very disappointed with the level of realism in the detail of the figure, having first had the Penguin kit which was clearly modeled on Burgess Meredith. Did you have the Penguin kit or the Robin kit?
ReplyDeleteFunny you should say that, because I always felt that the Batman figure wasn't quite as good as the Superman one (which is on the blog somewhere if you want a look at it), or the Monster kits; Bats looked a bit 'stiff', didn't he? Never had the Penguin or Robin figures, but they didn't really appeal to me for some reason. Having said that, apart from tiny representations of them among a whole load of other Aurora models in an ad on the back cover of a DC mag, I probably never saw them at the time.
ReplyDeleteJust took a look at the two versions of the Superman kits on your blog....very nice. A much more dynamic pose than the Batman kit
ReplyDeleteYes, it's one of Aurora's better models, B. Have you seen the Monster kits on my blog?
