Video - BELLY WASHERS TV Commercials - Europe & China

The other day we posted a photo of a brand-new piece of Bat-merchandise for Collectors to watch out for, a new different BATMAN Belly Washer ( a fruit-flavored beverage sold in a plastic bottle with a character head/figure on top ). Well, I got curious about this company & learned that they sell these things all over the world! In fact, here are 2 TV Commercials that aired in Europe and China... Yes, you read that right, China!! They both show an older Batman figure in them.

BATMAN BEGINS Super-Deluxe Happy Fun-Time Action Figure Bootleg Toy From China

Awhile back, here at the Bat-Blog, one of our readers, named Tomas, shared some really nice photos of his amazing Batman Action Figure Toy Collection. The cool thing is that he's from Puerto Rico & I love to meet Bat-Fans from all over the globe, so that was pretty neat. Anyway, he submitted a lot of wonderful pics that many readers totally enjoyed ( his collection is awesome ). Now, when he sent those photos he took a special photo of one unique toy that I saved to post at another time...because it really stood out. It's a "Bootleg Batman Action Figure" from China & while looking at the photo I noticed a lot of English spelling mistakes that were kind of funny! Here they are: In the top right-hand corner of the packaging art it says, "Morgan Freeman". OK, right off the bat they're wrong because it's a figure of Christian Bale as Batman, ha ha! But, it continues to say, "most new series, design for the children fangle ( the word "Fragile", maybe? ) and in the high quality welcome you use our products completely new to come into the market"...yeah, totally crazy! Then, at the bottom of the front-side it says, "BATMAN BEGINS, Super Century Design, Unequal in Performance". Which is spelled a little better but is sort of totally wacky!! Anyways, I thought this stupid stuff was kinda funny...hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, ha ha! So, now go to the store & buy your Morgan Freeman figure!

Holy Bootleg Toys, Batman!

Awhile back a good friend to the Bat-Blog, named Andreas, sent us a few photos of his "Bootleg Batman" Collection. I posted some back then but decided to wait a little bit before releasing more. You see, he collects both new & Vintage Batman Toys but one thing he likes to focus on are the wacky-crazy bootleg toys that get made all over the globe. The 1st toy is actually a pin-back button with candy attached. I think he got this in the UK where they don't say "pins" but call them badges. ( Or was it Mexico? Sorry, forgot ). It's a rip-off of the Bat-Signal Symbol. The 2nd photo is a "Super Heroes" Action Figure. The Blister Card features graphics with DC Comics, Marvel Comics, AND Power Rangers characters...strange. Also, if you make Batman RED & SILVER, then I guess it's not copyright infringement, ha ha! The next photo is also an action figure but this one is from Greece. They gave him a trident which is more of a weapon for Aquaman, ha ha. The 4th pic is sort of an action figure. Well, it's a "Marble Shooter". Which is kinda weird because kids don't really play with marbles much anymore. This bootlegger must have been in his 80's, "Kids love them marble games, aahhhh". The other weird thing is a Power Ranger makes an appearance on the card & isn't that small picture of a monster a villain on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? The figure is kinda nice though, an "Animated Series" Batman. The last picture is the best. Yeah, I saved the best for last! This is a Batman Theme Song Tribute Vinyl Record with AWESOME Batman Graphics. If I remember right these were made in France, or maybe the UK, & they're extremely cool! Plus, these are great quality unlike most bootlegs. Now, the main reason for posting these, other than a good laugh, is to show the history of the Batman Toys. I love the bootleg stuff but don't go out of my way to hunt it down or pay for it. If I come across it at a flea market or garage sale really cheap I'll get it for a funny display piece. I wanna thank Andreas for taking the time to shoot these photos & for sharing, that's great, thanks!!

Wacky Crazy Bootleg BATMAN TOYS From Around the World!

Just the other day I received some extremely cool photos from a Bat-Fan named Andreas. He likes to focus a part of his Batman Collection on the crazy bootleg toys that are made in other countries. His pictures show some really great examples! The 1st one looks like it's from China & it features imagery from the 1989 Batman movie. There's The Caped Crusader, Vicki Vale, The Joker, The Bat-Wing, & The Batmobile Car. But wait! Who's that villain-goon with the eye-patch? I don't remember him in the movie, ha ha! The second toy comes from Sweden & it's one of those "Water Maze" trinkets. I really love the "bat-shape" design, very cool! The 3rd piece, also from China, is a Set of Spiderman & Batman Action Figures It looks like they're ripping off TWO movies at the same time, ha ha! The last item is one of my favorites. I think so because it just has a great vintage look about it. It's a kite with an image of PINK Batman...pink! I wanna thank Andreas for sending these these in, they're all wonderful! Thank you. I also wanna invite any other readers to share any kind of Batman Photos, Information, Ideas, or whatever! Our e-mail button is always at the top right-hand side of this page.

Vintage BATMAN Magazine Covers From Around The World!

This is an idea I had for a quick post to showcase a few vintage magazines that featured Batman on the cover. The 1st example is an issue of SCREEN STORIES from 1966. It has a great color photo of the 1960's Batman on the cover! The exploitive copy reads, "BEWARE OF WOMEN"! I have always loved this magazine because it's a great shot of Adam West. OK, it's from the USA & not "foreign" but to readers who live outside the USA it is, ha ha! The 2nd photo comes from our friend Paulo. This is a super-rare Batman #1 foreign comic book published in Brazil! I think the graphics are awesome, especially with the vintage bat-logo. The last one is also foreign & extremely hard-to-find. It's an issue of MAD Magazine published in China...It's in Chinese, isn't that amazing! I would love to have that one. Thank you everybody who sent pix, they're very cool & we want to invite all our other readers to do the same!
