Vintage 1970's Batman Toys & 70's Memorabilia
OK, Some of you regular BAT-BLOG readers might have noticed that we have not posted anything for about 5 days but the deal was we took a vacation to Dallas, Texas. This is the longest period we have ever "not posted" so when I got up this morning all I wanted to do was post this right away! I thought showing some groovy 1970's Bat-Memorabilia would be cool so we hope you enjoy! The 1st item is the Super-Cool MEGO BATMAN COMMAND CONSOLE. This device worked with the Mego Walkie Talkies sort of like a main command center where you can contact your other friends. I mean, it wasn't just an imaginary toy but, it REALLY worked! I love the graphics on the box because it's the old-style Batman, sort of like a Neal Adams version...nice! The next cool vintage 70's Bat-Toy is a Corgi 2-Pack of the Die-Cast Batmobile Car & Batboat. And speaking of Neal Adams, they used some of his clip-art on the packaging! This is a very cool variation they called #2519. The 3rd Batman Toy from the seventies is this very ultra-rare BATMAN SIREN made by Empire ©1979. This was a battery operated toy that was meant to be attached to your bicycle's handlebars. The box says it had Super-Sonic Sound, "WOO-WOO-WOOOOO!". Remember, we have 600 different posts to enjoy that you don't even see on the main page!! To see them be sure to check out the BAT-BLOG ARCHIVES located on the right-side of the blog. Look for "April 2007" or "May 2007" & so on.
