Lot #19: George Barris Personal Collection 1995 Kenner Batman Forever Blast Cape Figure w/ COA

Exceptional Batman collectible with documented provenance from the personal collection of legendary automotive customizer George Barris (1925–2015), creator of the iconic 1960s television Batmobile. This is a 1995 Kenner Batman Forever Blast Cape Batman action figure, model #64149, featuring Assault Blades and a Launching Attack Cape. The figure remains in its original retail packaging. Most importantly, this piece includes an original Barris Garage Sale Certificate of Authenticity specifically identifying the item as “Batman Action Figure.” The certificate states that the item belonged to George Barris, remained in the possession of the Barris family following his death, and was released from his personal collection through the Barris Kustom Garage Sale. Certificate is signed and dated 8/12/18. A rare opportunity to own Batman memorabilia with a direct connection to George Barris and the history of the Batmobile.
