1981 Duncan Catalog- Yo-Yo’s- Batmobile

May 25, 2021 By Mantooth In toy catalogs No Comments

Most people know Duncan from their Yo-Yo products which they still sell to this day but their 1981 catalog shows a company branching out into different things, mostly toy cars and trucks but also licensed items like the Batmobile.

Yo-yo’s and trucks are a weird combination..

Ah vans with rainbowy things painted on them, a big holdover from the late 70s..

I always forget that Duncan also made a Batmobile, that TV series design got a lot of mileage…

Licensed Superhero Yo-Yo product, this is likely still being done today….
