Are the Batman toys really going to be worth a lot later?

Question

My nephew just got some Batman toys for his birthday. He got Batman, some Clown guy and the Joker from the new movie comming out this summer. Should he keep them in the boxes or can he play with them. He is 6 and asked me because his friends were telling him he should not open them. If they are, are they only valuable now or will they be valuable in the future? Thanks.

Answer 1

I don't think the clown and Batman will be worth much but there are rumors that the Joker could be a collector's item. Its because it symbolizes Heath Ledger as the character and with his passing, it probably means a lot more to people. I would say open it so he can play with it and if you find another Joker in stores (which is pretty impossible, I've been trying), get it and keep that one in its packaging.

Answer 2

nope

Answer 3

It's really hard to say, but since Batman is so big and has been for a long time, then its a good possibility that it will be. You could always go to e-bay and search batman toys to see what there going for and then decide if you he should play with them or put them away.

Answer 4

No.  Too many people are saving toys these days for them to be worth anything in the future.

In the future the only toys that will be worth a bit are variants, exclusives or the toy lines collected only by little children and that are opened and played with(and those you will need to wait until the kids grow up and get nostalgic for their childhoods).

SW, Batman, GIJoe, Transformers, Indiana Jones, etc.. very little price increase in the future do to so many saved by collectors

In the long term Power Rangers would perform better.
