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.

Brand-New BATMAN TOYS You Can Find in Stores Now!

This post is an amazing assortment of reader-submitted photos showing a few brand-new BATMAN items available in stores right now. This is some cool stuff so check it out!

The 1st two pics are from our friend Christopher. He recently grabbed these 2 new Batman Toys on a recent shopping trip. First is a Fisher-Price BATMAN Voice-Comm Heroworld DC Super Friends Figure. Yes, he says a bunch of different phrases & also interacts with other characters in the toy line. Then, he found this cool Fisher-Price DC SUPER FRIENDS 7-Figure Pack Gift Set that is a Store Exclusive for Target. It's got Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Batman, Robin, and even the Joker!

Next up, Here's a new Batman Vehicle Toy ( or toys ) that, until somebody sent me a photo, I had actually never seen before. Which is very strange because I'm usually ALL about the new merchandise & know about it very early on. I guess Mattel is cranking out so much stuff these days that it's impossible to stay on top of it, ha! Anyways, Our Friend Frank bought these new Hot Wheels at his local Toys R Us. They are called, "BALLISTIKS" and there is one of Batman and one of Bane. The artwork is pretty unique. I love the design of the packaging but I gotta say that the actual toy cars are kinda weird, ha!

OK, the last 2 pictures are not "Toys" but are some really cool Wal-Mart Store Displays seen by our Buddy BatDave. They're for the DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie. One is the "Advertising Sign" thing you see when walking into the store ( great graphics! ). The 2nd one shows a cool Batman Cardboard-Shelf thing they have in the "Book Store" section. Wow, that would actually be kinda neat to have for displaying Bat-Books ( Yes, as if I ONLY had the space, ha! ).

New BATMAN TOYS and PRODUCTS Due in July 2012

Here's a weird "post idea" I came up with. Just post a bunch of Batman Toys that are due to be released, or are already out, in July. First up is the latest issue of Mad Magazine with a DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie Parody Cover. Speaking of that film, the next pic is a new Wall Mural Sticker made by a company called Roommates. Then we have a beautiful HARLEY QUINN Toon Tumbler Glass. From Mattel comes this set of 10-Inch Figure of both Batman and Bane. Then, the last pic shows a cool BATMAN Cliff Hanger Playset made by Matchbox. Whew!! OK, if anybody ( this means YOU ) sees ANY brand-new pieces of Bat-Merchandise then please let us know, thanks!!

2012 SDCC - BATMAN VILLAINS Sideshow Collectibles Figures

OK, these great photos of some new BATMAN VILLAIN Toy Figures that popped-up at the recent 2012 San Diego Comic Con & our Friend Marcio was kind enough to share. These were shot at the Sideshow Collectibles Booth & we get to see Catwoman, The Joker, and Harley Quinn. Oh man, These are totally amazing!! One cool thing is that Harley's face looks really evil! ( Thanks Marcio! ) 

More BATMAN Bat-Mania Madness at 2012 San Diego Comic Con!

Check out these incredible pics shared with us by our good friend Chip. He went to the recent 2012 San Diego Comic Con & got these great batman-related photos!!

First up is a HUGE Promo Banner near the DC Comics Booth that features BATMAN AND ROBIN with artwork by Frank Quitely, beautiful!

Then, speaking of Advertising Banners, here’s another one for a new Batman Video Game future-release.

The next photo is a Batman Japanese Shogun Warrior-type Figure. This was made by FUNKO who just makes extremely excellent stuff. We think this figure is a SDCC Exclusive because it’s all “Black and White” ( the original one is color ).

Then we get to see a new “SUPERMAN VS BATMAN” Statue based on Frank Miller’s THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS Graphic Novel. OK, we actually saved the BEST for last! Here is an Original “Marshall Rogers” Comic Art Page offered by some vendor. It's both so beautiful & complete torture!! ( Thank You Chip! )

HOT TOYS BATMAN 1966 LIVE-ACTION TV SERIES BATMOBILE CAR Vehicle

I recently came across these promo photos from the Japanese Toy Company, HOT HOYS, where they were showing off a few of their Batman-related vehicles. Some have been out awhile and other are set for the future. Well, one of them is the 1960's TV Show Batmobile!! Oh man, I totally freaked out ( ha ha ) and upon doing some research I came across these 1st two photos showing the Classic TV Car. 



Yes, they're making a HUGE version of the George Barris 1966 Batmobile!! Once we get more information ( and new photos ) you know we're gonna post them here. So, stay tunes. OK Hot Toys, TAKE ALL MY MONEY!!

New BATMAN AND THE JOKER 16" Action Figures by Bandeirante Toys of Brazil

OK, first off I hope I get all the information correct in this post because a lot of what I came up on the Internet was in Portuguese & I only speak English. But anyway, the photos should speak for themselves!! 



These wonderful pics were sent to us by a Friend named Marcio who lives in Brazil. In that country there's a famous Toy Company named "Bandeirante". Very recently they came out with these 2 totally amazing 16" Figures of Batman and The Joker!! Oh yeah, it's really important to note that in that Country they call him, "Coringa!". I really like the design here, especially the cool window boxes. Apparently these are in retail stores right now and, Yes, I want them both, ha ha! ( Thanks Marcio! )

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - A Few New Batman Toys and Products

I knew a long time ago that when THE DARK KNIGHT RISES was going to come out that there would be a HUGE flood of products. I mean, you could just tell that a lot of companies knew it would be a very BIG Blockbuster Movie & they would all want to capitalize on the popularity. But hey, for us Batman Toy Collectors that's a great thing! Oh sure, there's absolutely NO WAY to be able to afford to buy it all ( ha ha ha! ) but there will be some really great variety out there so that's cool. Well, OK, Check out these 2 examples:

First, from Heroclix, we got the BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES HeroClix Mini-Figures. This photo shows the Store Display filled with the product ( I love the Header Card ). These are set to come out in August 2012 and there will be 29 different figures to collect.

Next, is a new statue from DC Direct. Right now they're calling it, The "BANE WINTER BATTLE" Bust. It was sculpted by Dave Cortes and Paul Harding. It will measure about 6 1/4" Tall, will retail for around $79.95, and you can look for it on sale on October 3rd, 2012.

NEW TOYS - Imaginext BATMAN GOTHAM CITY COLLECTION Figures and Vehicles EXCLUSIVE at Toys-R-Us!

Check out these really great pics shot by our good friend Batmobilly. He was recently at Toys-R-Us and spotted these special Fisher-Price  DC SUPER FRIENDS Imaginext ( Mattel ) "BATMAN GOTHAM CITY COLLECTION" Figures and Vehicles that are EXCLUSIVE to Toys-R-Us! 

The 1st photo shows the Set of Batman and Catwoman Figures that each come with their own cycle. Then, there are 2 more that are Batman with his Bat-Copter and then a Set that features a GCPD Officer and Bane Figure with a Gotham S.W.A.T. Van!! ( Thank You Batmobilly )

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - BATMAN VS BANE Mattel Movie Masters Action Figure 2-Pack Set TOYS-R-US EXCLUSIVE

A special thanks goes out to our good friend Zdravko for giving us the heads-up about a brand-new DARK KNIGHT RISES piece of merchandise that might be kinda hard to find. Now, Please excuse the crappy photo I got, it's the only one I could find, but it does give you an idea on how cool this piece will be. 



This is a TOYS-R-US EXCLUSIVE Movie Masters Action Figure 2-Pack made by Mattel. It features BATMAN VS BANE in battle, inside a beautiful "Window Box". I'm assuming since this thing has already hit evil eBay that it's in stores now, keep an eye out!! Also, if YOU see any new Bat-Merch, 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.
