Within a year of his introduction in 1938's Action Comics #1, Superman was featured in a variety of toys. When Batman debuted, he quickly joined his World's Finest partner in being featured on some licensed products. However, it wasn't until the 1960s that the perfect storm occurred. Toy production had become more and more sophisticated and prolific by the 1960s, so when you combined it with the staggering popularity of the 1966 Batman TV series, an avalanche of Batman-related toys were released in the 1960s.

In the next 50 years, Batman continued to be a prominent representative on the toy aisles in stores, but when it comes to rare and valuable Batman toys, the 1960s are still the top era. Here, we will count down the most collectible Batman toys of all-time ( "collectibility" generally means the most expensive, but sometimes it means items that are very popular on the back market ). Do note that we're not talking about stuff like rare statues that cost hundreds of dollars right from the get go or special prototypes that were never officially released. We're talking about actual toys featuring Batman that kids could have purchased that are now worth a lot.
