THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - BATMAN PAPER TOY MODEL by My Paper Heroes

Here is a BATMAN Arts and Crafts project for your next weekend you have free!! There is a Graphic Artist named Xavier who lives in the UK. He writes a blog titled "My Paper Heroes" where he shares some PDF files you can download to make your own Comic Book Superhero "Action Figure" Paper Toy Models. Here is one he recently did of BATMAN (Christian Bale), the version from THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie. He also has plans to make a Bane & Catwoman Figure in the near future.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - A Few BATMOBILE TUMBLER TOY CARS From Walmart!

Yesterday we posted some pics from our Friend Batmobilly that he shot at Walmart. Well, here are a few Batmobile Tumbler Toys he bought. Two of them are R/C Remote Control. Of course these tie-in to THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie. We're expecting that there will soon be a very HUGE FLOOD of TDKR merchandise, ha ha! Just wait, it's gonna be crazy! But check out these pics. 

The 1st one shows 2 of the standard R/C Vehicles: The TUMBLER Batmobile ( Camouflage Version ) and THE BAT! Oh yeah, THE BAT is the thing we see flying around in the new movie trailer: Catwoman, "My Mother always told me to never get into a car with a stranger". Batman, "This isn't a car!".

Next, is a photo of a Batman Toy that is EXCLUSIVE to Walmart. It's not an R/C Car but still cool, looks like a great gift idea for some kid. I like the window box packaging. It's a Tumbler ( black ) with an Action Figure included. Remember, stay tuned to the BAT-BLOG for more future toy news. ( Thanks to Batmobilly for the cool pics & great reporting )

We have a Friend named BatmoBilly who's total focus is collecting "Batmobile" Toys and Memorabilia. OK, he does grab a few "Batman items" here and there, but he is really mostly about the Car! You might remember a recent post where we talked about the new line of Batman Toys being made by Mattel where they sort of designed them in-house. In other words, they're not related to any Movie, Comic Book, Animated Cartoon, or etc... Well, here's their version of the Batmobile! It's called the "Total Destruction™ Batmobile" and it's a part of the BATMAN POWER ATTACK Toy Line. I'm not too excited about the Orange Tire Rims but other than that, it's pretty cool!
