About this item
Tiger Electronics' Batman LCD handheld (1989) was released to capitalize on Tim Burton's blockbuster Batman film. Players controlled the Dark Knight through a side-scrolling LCD adventure, fighting goons and eventually facing the Joker. It was one of Tiger's biggest sellers that year, riding the massive Batmania wave that swept through every toy aisle.
The 1989 Batman film is a cultural landmark, and licensed merchandise from that era is highly collectible across the board. This Tiger handheld sits at the intersection of retro gaming and Batman memorabilia — two very active collector markets. The distinctive bat-shaped case design makes it one of the most visually appealing Tiger handhelds ever made.
Inspect the battery compartment for corrosion — 35-year-old batteries do ugly things. The LCD screen should be clear with no dead segments. The bat-wing case design has thin points that can crack, so check for stress marks or repairs. Boxed examples with the Tim Burton movie artwork on the packaging are especially desirable. Working loose units are affordable; complete-in-box is where the real value sits.
