Batman 1966 Shakespeare Bust Bank – Unveiling the Classic Treasure
Welcome to our comprehensive review of the Batman 1966 Shakespeare Bust Bank! In this article, we’ll delve into the details of this iconic piece, examining its design, features, and overall appeal. Join us as we explore the world of Batman collectibles and discover if this bust is truly a treasure worthy of the Dark Knight himself.
A Marvelous Reproduction
Diamond Select has captured the essence of the classic 1966 Batman TV series with their meticulous reproduction of the bronze Shakespeare bust. Standing at an impressive 20 inches tall, this replica, sculpted by the talented Paul Harding, is a sight to behold. However, it’s worth noting that our measurements indicate a height closer to 18 inches, with a shoulder width of approximately one foot. Nevertheless, this remarkable piece remains faithful to the original design featured on the show.
Unveiling the Intricate Details
One of the standout qualities of the Batman 1966 Shakespeare Bust Bank is its attention to detail. Every aspect of the bust has been meticulously recreated to mirror its on-screen counterpart. From the proportion of the base to the precise angle of the shirt collar, the placement of buttons on the shirt, and the expression on Shakespeare’s face, this piece captures the essence of the original sculpture. It’s important to mention that the coloration is reminiscent of clean bronze rather than the patina finish seen on the show. Nonetheless, the satin finish lends it an elegant touch, absorbing just enough light to create an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Secrets Unveiled
Tilting the head of the bust reveals a hidden compartment, which adds an element of surprise and intrigue. Inside, you’ll find a dial, a button, and a coin slot. Although the hollowness of the head initially left us wanting more, further investigation revealed that it accurately represents the original prop from the show. This attention to detail truly sets this reproduction apart as a faithful tribute to the iconic series.
