This first edition, collector's item comes in its original factory box, which is in very good condition. The hinged canopy opens to reveal an 18-inch ship with scissor and working villain cruncher mechanisms.

The black plastic ship is meticulously designed with a 1:18 scale and features Batman and villain action figures. The set is vintage and an original licensed reproduction from China. It's a must-have for fans of the franchise and the TV, movie, and video games theme. π¨βοΈ actual Batman batwing villain cruncher 99% complete and working βοΈπ¨ π¨Professional Inspection Report π¨ This is the famous Batman batwing villain cruncher. I have tested all of the mechanisms and all of the mechanisms appear to be in good working order scissor mechanism and the dart mechanism. There is no figure included with this package. The plastic clear canopy is faded and yellow from age. The two top plastic fins are removed or broken. One of them is included, but the other one is missing. Iβm sure that every other car you find for sale has the same exact problem, but it could be easily remedied with a little superglue. I donβt get into the actual restoration because collectors are very particular about how, their items are restored, and there is a lot of controversy about restoration method. I stay out of that but a tiny bit of superglue would stick the one back on and you will have to locate another fin to complete the project as well as the Styrofoam missiles and two screws that hold the trigger mechanism in place. The trigger mechanism was obviously removed for storage purposes of being able to put the item back in the factory box. I love it how they did that, but they misplaced the two little screws that connect the mechanism. I held the mechanism in place and tested it. There are photos of me testing it and all of them mechanism works correctly. Please verify that in the photos. Please carefully look at all of the photos. There is a lot of extra parts as in extra figures that are included in this auction. I am in absolute disbelief that I even found this item due to the rarity of it. But pictures are everything. I documented everything carefully for you to make an educated bid so I expect you to carefully inspect every photo. This box was opened, but it appears to me that this kit is 99% complete. It is only missing one of the top fins, both missles and 2 screws that connect the trigger handle to the plane. The factory box does have some slight flaws, but I donβt believe thereβs another factory box in the world as nice as this box. It is a absolute miracle that it survived all of these years in such good condition. But once again, I remind you look at the photos carefully and email me For any more pictures that you need. It is your responsibility to make an educated decision in the bids of this rare item so we are putting the responsibility on you to carefully inspect the photos. π¦ The shipping is going to be high on this because the actual box used to ship it is going to need to be 18 x 18 x 8 I believe. That is just the cost of collecting very valuable toys and keeping them in perfect condition when shipping., but you will only pay actual shipping so whatever we do to make the shipping cheaper, you will be reimbursed for. π¦. π¦ This item will be packaged very carefully, and all of the individual parts will be wrapped in bubble wrap. Absolute care will go into the packaging of this item and it will probably take at least a couple hours just to build a custom box and package secure. No shortcuts will be taken in the packing of this rare collectible.π¦ Iβve got tons of other Batman stuff and collectibles for multimillionaire estate that I am going through an auction off right now. Iβve Got over 1300 items on eBay at this moment. We ship the very same day as payment if possible and we package our items very very carefully. We do not make money off of shipping and if we are able to save you extra money on shipping as long as it is more than four dollars we will always reimburse you. We do not hold you hostage for feedback as many other sellers do. As soon as you make payment, you receive a very positive affirming feedback from us notifying the entire eBay community that you are good representative of somebody that they want to do business with. Thereβs no reason for a seller to wait to leave feedback until the seller receives feedback and that is very corrupt of them. We have a little surprise at the end of the auction where we like to send our customers a 20% off coupon towards further purchases. We donβt always do this, but you can look at it as a gift of gratitude if you receive one from us.
