Classic TV Series Batmobile by Jada

I've decided that it is Bat-week here at the blog, and am starting it off by showcasing Jada's 1/24 scale Classic TV Batmobile. This is Jada # 98259. These were on the shelves of the big box stores about a year ago, and you can still see them sometimes in Walmarts or Meijers. At under $20, it's not a bad deal.

Louis Marx and Company Toys - Confederate Ambulance

With the COVID-19 restrictions and the resulting shelter-in-place orders now in place in much of the U.S., I find myself with time to cull through my collection and resume posting. I recently got the recast of the Civil War ambulance originally released by the Louis Marx and Company as part of the "Giant Blue and Gray Battle Set sold by Montgomery Ward in 1961". Not sure when the re-casts were made, but I got mine from Amazon from a 3rd party seller.

I was a kid in the early seventies, which was kind of the tail end for the Marx playsets. I don't remember having any of the Marx playsets as a kid, but I remember my friend across the street had the Guns of Navarone playset and the Comanche Pass playset. What I remember clearly was the detail in the castings, and the number of parts that came with the playset that added realism.
