Anyone seen the likes of these two before. They are probably from the 70's as they are a childhood toy, but have no idea of their origins or why they are pink. There's no make or logo marking on them.
Can anyone shed any light?
An odd and genuine "loft/attic find". Also came across my inflatable E.T. bop bag. Any E.T collectors out there.

I'm searching but can't find anything on these so far. It's driving me crazy because the Robin seems to ring a bell with that pose.

I had a look too but no joy. They look like they're part of a play-set or had stands. What size are they?

I did a search on unpainted classic batman and robin and these popped up:
Seems to possibly be made by Charbens.

I didn't dig too deep but that's a start I guess.
cheers!

Nice work Jay. I like the horror set they made. PMSL at the Queen and Phil

Super, that's them. Nice detective work.
They aren't much bigger than a SW figure. About 4.5 inch but made out of a non flexible solid plastic.
Next question is are they worth anything.
Have found a painted charbens Superman on Ebay for £25 BIN. Looks like they came with a base which is why they have pegs.
