Batman 1966: Do they have pools in Japan?!

An inflatible Batman toy from Japan. What do you do with it? Does it talk? Does it get used in a pool? Do they have pools in Japan? Yeah, this probably ended up in some body of water @ some point. This was most likely a beach toy, but japanese items like this would also hang by a string in some kid's room or be attached somewhere outside the house or apartment as decoration. Some of the weirdest Caped Crusader stuff came from Japan, but so did some of the coolest. Batman in 1966 wasn't just a national phenomenon, it was a global phenomenon.
