Vintage BATMAN MEMORBILIA & TOYS From Around The World!

I know that the Bat-Blog has kinda been crazy with the Halloween Holiday lately & we have been neglecting the toy collector aspect of the blog. So, here's a post to make up for it, ha ha! Here's a really nice example of a few pieces of Bat-Memorabilia made in different parts of the world. The 1st example comes from the United Kingdom ( England ) & is the Original Bubble Gum Wax Wrapper for a Set of 1966 Batman Trading Cards. Oh man, I am totally crazy over those vintage-style graphics...awesome! The next item might appear to be French but it's not from France. This is a Batman Board Game from Canada! It was made by Hasbro in 1973. OK, the last 3 pictures are a Set of Japanese Batman Canvas Sneakers. These shoes, of course, are from Japan & came out around 1966. The original shoe box is shown here with the product & it's equally as cool! Again, the graphics are just totally beautiful. Do you live outside the USA? If so then please send us some photos of some fun "Foreign Batman" items you might have. Sharing the love of Batman Toy Collecting is one of the main functions of this fan site.

New BATMAN, ROBIN, & JOKER T-Shirts To Keep An Eye Out For!

I'm always trying to keep up with Batman T-Shirts Designs & when I come across some that I think are pretty cool I like to share them. Here are 3 new ones that I think are very well done. Now the 1st one is my favorite because it's a graphic of what the original 1966 TOPPS BATMAN Bubble Gum Card Package ( Wax Wrapper ) looked like. That real-life piece of Bat-memorabilia has always been very special to me because I really loved these Trading Cards as a very little kid! The next one has more of a "Pop Art" feel about it & I'm actually trying to figure out who's comic book art they used. I'm thinking it might be the artist Dick Giordano but I'm not sure. Either way, it's the "Silver Age" Batman that I have always liked with the blue / gray bat-suit & yellow-oval bat-symbol logo. For the last example I included this one with split-faces of Batman & The Joker. The reason is because it totally reminds me of all the T-Shirts that were produced during the 1989 Batman Movie craze. It just has a nice "Vintage 80's Look" about it. Now remember, I've included a link button down below so you can see other examples of new shirts offered. So, check it out!!

NEW BATMAN MERCHANDISE: Arcor THE DARK KNIGHT CANDY From Argentina!

Right now, in Argentina, the Arcor Candy Company has some very cool Batman THE DARK KNIGHT Candy for sale! Actually, it's 2 different flavors of Bubble Gum, Tutti-Fruity & Mint. Inside every wrapper is a "Free Batman Sticker". I would seriously love to get some boxes of this candy. The 2 different Display Boxes, with the cool headers, are awesome! Something I wanna do right now is ask all of our "foreign readers" to please let us know about Batman products from around a world ( doesn't have to be "The Dark Knight" but anything Batman ). As regular readers of this blog know I am totally goo-goo over the "foreign stuff", ha ha!

Vintage 1960's Batman Toys TOPPS TRADING CARDS WRAPPER & 1966 MARX LICENSE PLATE

Up above are 2 examples of some really great Vintage Batman Products made in the 1960's during the classic TV Series, 1966 to be exact! The 1st one is an unopened pack of Topps Batman Trading Cards with a beautiful graphic on the wrapper that is now an icon! The 2nd photo is a Super-RARE example of a cool Vintage Toy made by the MARX TOY COMPANY in 1966. It's the BATMAN & ROBIN MINIATURE LICENSE PLATE!! You could have bought this as a decoration for your bike. This one is still in the original package, never opened! I love the vintage-style graphics on both the license plate & the header card....sweet!
