Kuan's Amazing VINTAGE BATMAN TOY COLLECTION Photos!!

OK, I guess these photos were sent to me as a form of torture! ( Ha Ha! Just kidding! ) Actually these pics were shared by a friend of ours named Kuan who lives in Singapore. He was kind enough to share a part of his Vintage BATMAN Toy Collection with us and there is some amazing stuff here! Oh man, just look at all the Tin Toy Battery-Operated (Japan) Batmobiles... SO COOL! 

He also likes to collect action figures and there are some really nice ones here. I should also add that he likes to create Custom Figures ( or maybe he just buys them already made, I forgot to ask ). Stuff like, "Ernie and Bert as Batman and Robin" or "Simpsons Characters in Bat-Suits", how fun!! Thank you Kuan, you have some super great stuff here and I really appreciate you taking the time to take these wonderful pics. yeah, I'm gonna go cry now.

OK, if this is your first visit to the BAT-BLOG.COM then we want to thank you for finally finding us ( ha ha ) and also let you know that every Wednesday we post a few FREE BATMAN Wallpaper Backgrounds... we call it, "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!" Now, since THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie is coming out tomorrow ( for Midnight showings ) and then, officially coming out on Friday, July 20th, we wanted to post this excellent image of Batman ( Christian Bale ) on his Bat-Pod Motorcycle. It's a great photo!

Then, the 2nd wallpaper is a photo sent in to us by our friend Yuji. This pic shows just a small part of his awesome Batman Toy & Action Figure Collection AND it's also fun to use as a background. It's main focus is the "Blue & Gray" version of the Caped Crusader. It's most excellent, enjoy! 

( Thanks Yuji )

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES and Other New BATMAN TOYS

A Friend of the BAT-BLOG.COM, a Toy Collector named "Pat The Batman Fan", sent us this wonderful Photo Gallery of some cool brand-new BATMAN TOYS he recently spotted at Target. A few of them are Store Exclusives and there's even one I have not seen ( That very Large Figure that looks to be about 10 or 11 inches tall, comes with a real-firing EMP Blaster! ) Thanks Pat, you ROCK, Sir!

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - Brand New BATMAN Movie Products To Look Out For Soon!

OK, I predicted about a year ago that when THE DARK KNIGHT RISES comes out there will be an insane amount of Consumer Products & Bat-Merchandise. Well, I was right! ( It's soooo hard being right all the time, ha ha ). Shown here are just a few examples:

First, Here's what the cover art to THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie Soundtrack CD will look like. The music was composed by Hans Zimmer so you know it's gonna be great! Also, just to explain a little bit, this unusual "Bat-Logo" will be prominently featured in the film. I mean, it's already shown-up on T-Shirts and in the recent Movie Trailer.

Next, are a few "Mini-Action Figures" ( that's what I call them, not official ). These photos were shot by our Good Friend & Ace Bat-Reporter Batmobilly. He spotted these recently while shopping so they should be available in your town right now.

Last, Here is an early Prototype-Photo from McFarlane Toys showing a Sports Picks Action Figure they'll be making of "Hines Ward", a Football Player for the "Gotham Rogues" Team. Yes, he's the guy who shows up in that earlier trailer you saw for the film. The one running with the ball not knowing that the field behind him is sinking, ha!

Hey, If YOU see any brand-new Bat-Merchandise out there while you're hunting then please be sure to let us know. Our email button is always on the top right-hand side of this page.

New THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Action Figures and BATMAN Merchandise in Stores Now!

Here are 2 photo supplied by some friends of the BAT-BLOG that are pretty cool! Batmobilly spotted a DARK KNIGHT RISES Store Display of Action Figures and Vehicles right after the Store Employee just got done putting them out. 

Then, our Friend Marcus spotted these fun BATMAN AND SUPERMAN Fruit-Flavored GUMMY POPS at his Dollar Tree Store! Yes, Superman is trying to leech-off of some of Batman's popularity, again. Thanks Guys for sharing these fun photos. If any other Readers out there spot ANY cool NEW Bat-Merchandise out there then please let us know.

Frank's Awesome BATMAN TOY and MEMORABILIA COLLECTION Photos

Check out these really great photos we got recently from a Bat-Blog Fan who lives in Dallas, Texas. His name is Frank and this guy loves Batman. The cool thing is that he is really into collecting Vintage Toys, Newer Collectibles, Statues, Action Figures, Diecast Cars, Books, etc... and here is the photographic proof! I really like how everything is displayed here and I asked him about those shelves. I think he said something about Ikea. I like that company, they make cool stuff. These Bookcases are great. I wanna thank Frank for sharing these wonderful photos. It's always very cool to see other people's collections.

New BATMAN TOYS and THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Action Figures 1st Wave!

This is sort of a weird post but really actually pretty cool if ya think about it, ha! OK, Please let me explain. Here at this site we have a Fan who just so happens to work at Wal-Mart. She's also a Huge Batman Fan & was very excited to see that some brand-new Bat-Toys came in that were related to THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. She said the weird thing was that all the Employees there have very strict rules about NOT placing the product on the shelves until Midnight, on May 27th. So, at that time, this new stuff will be appearing. The cool thing was she snapped a photo for us of the Action Figures in the 1st wave. You can see them in the 1st pic. 

Also, as a side story: The 2nd photo features some of the new "Mattel Batman" Figures that are out right now ( they don't have a special release date ). I call them the "Mattel Batman" Toys because they DO NOT tie-into any Comic Book, Movie, Cartoon, Video Game or anything. Their actual name is "Power Attack!". These are designed exclusively by Mattel, what they call "in-house".

BATMAN ARKHAM CITY - NEW TOYS Series 3 Action Figures

Cool! Here's some awesome photos we just got showing Wave 3 of the BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Action Figures. It looks like this time they're going to include: Batman, The Penguin, Ra's Al Ghul, Azrael, and Two Joker-Goon Clowns. No Retail Price has been quoted just yet but you can look for these in stores around September 19th, 2012.

Victor's Amazing BATMAN TOYS and STATUE ART Collection!

Hey People, Please be sure to scan these photos closely with your eyeballs because I promise you will see some very cool stuff! Recently, a Bat-Blog Fan named Victor was kind enough to share some photos of his wonderful BATMAN Toy Collection. He is also very much into the Statues as well. The 1st photo sort of has a 1989 Batman Movie theme to it. I remember all the merchandizing for this film and totally love this stuff. Did anybody else eat that nasty "Batman Cereal"? Victor has a sealed box! Another favorite piece is that "JOKER-Cycle". I remember that thing was pretty hard to find.



Next up is a nice assortment of 80's and 90's items, mostly "Batman: The Animated Series". I totally loved that TV show! One item that stands out here, for me anyways, is that Large 3-D Board Game. I remember buying it "new in the store". It was a HUGE BOX and the Art Deco-style graphics are beautiful.



The 3rd photo is pretty cool too and mostly features some Action Figures. I used to be a total Snob about NOT opening mine but lately I've thought they are better for display this way. Plus, the bonus is you can actually play with them! ( Not that I play "Gotham City" on the floor ). Then, speaking of "Display", Victor has this excellent Display Case he has reserved especially for his statues. Yes, these items always need extra care because they're delicate, fragile, and expensive. Now, I really love all these Statues, seriously, but two just really pop-out to me. The 1st one is that SUPER FRIENDS Maquette on the top shelf, center. That piece just brings out special childhood memories for me. The next one is on the 2nd shelf, left side. That one of Batman holding up the Batarang. That one is based on the Silver Age Artwork of Carmine Infantino. I remember when these were being sold at the Warner Bros Store. They were kind of pricey and I was broke, a bad combo, ha!



Anyways, sorry to go on and on but there's some fun stuff here. Plus, I really appreciate when Fans contribute their Bat-Collections, that's so cool! ( Thanks Victor )

New BATMAN MEGO DOLL Acyrlic Action Words for Display!

For a long time I have been a member of the MEGO MUSEUM Forum but have not participated in awhile because I've been so busy. If you're a Vintage Mego Doll Action Figure Toy Collector then you need to check it out. Anyways, a friend over at Facebook, named Jon, told me about this amazing new "Mego" Product some Artist is making. Basically, they're small custom made clear-acrylic standees that you put in front of your figures for display. They have the "action words" you might remember seeing on the 1966 BATMAN TV Show. Words like: Pow! Boff! & KaPow! I think these items are totally great & a very clever idea. Plus, they're only $8.00 which is a good price. Here's a LINK to check them out. ( Thanks Jon )

Brand-New BATMAN Action Figure Toy Line Planned by Mattel

Later in the year we'll be seeing some brand-new BATMAN TOYS that are totally created by Mattel's in-house Design Group. What I mean by that is these toys will not be tied into any existing Movie, Animated Series, Comic Book or TV Show. This new series of figures will be totally created by Mattel. The name of this toy line is "Batman Power Attack™" and shown here are some examples of the toys and their packaging. Check out the different Batman figures, the 1st Villain issued will be Killer Croc, and a pretty cool BATMOBILE Vehicle!

BATMAN EXTREME!! A New Batman Toy Collector Blog!

This post is a shout-out to a Friend of ours who has been doing an excellent job on a new Batman Toy Collector Blog called "Batman Extreme"! Now, he's a Major Batman Fan and he shares a bunch of cool stuff! At the end of this post I'll share a LINK to it but I gotta warn ya, his site is mostly done in Japanese! But wait, there is plenty of eye-candy to enjoy plus, he does some posts in English. Also, it's really not that hard to figure out how to navigate the site.

One tip, at the bottom of all his posts there is a "Pagination Area" where you click the numbers "2, 3, 4, etc..." Just click those and you can enjoy the whole site. There is some neat stuff like Tin Toys ( Robots and Batmobile cars ). Plus, a lot of new merchandise. It looks like he might focus on "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" Movie Action Figures a little bit too. It's fun, just click HERE!

Diego's BATMAN TOYS AND MEMORABILIA Collection from México City!

Just recently, here at the BAT-BLOG.COM, we have got emails from Brazil, Germany, England, and the Netherlands! Oh man, I totally love the Internet! It's so cool to connect with other Serious Batman Fans from around the world. Like the content of this post, here are some wonderful photos of a very cool BATMAN TOYS AND MEMORABILIA Collection from México City!



All this great stuff belongs to our Friend, Diego. He's been collecting since around the age of 8 ( He's now 22 ) and his favorite items in his collection are some neat Plush Toys. He said that he won them at the Six Flags Theme Park in Mexico. I have to admit that my favorite item, if I had to pick one, in all these pics is that HUGE GIANT-SIZE ACE, THE BAT-HOUND!! That thing is cool! But really everything here is great! Diego has a very nice collection of Action Figures, Statues, T-Shirts, Batmobiles, Graphic Novels, Comic Books, etc... I think it's really neat to see other people's collections. I wanna thank Diego for taking the time to shoot these fun pics, I really appreciate that, "Muchas Gracias Diego!!"
