NEW BATMAN TOYS - 2012 Hot Wheels THE BAT in Stores Now!

This is a quick post to share this cool photo of a new BATMAN toy. I have not been on the retail hunt in a long time but this 2012 Hot Wheels "Car" of THE BAT, from THE DARK KNIGHT RISES movie, is on evil eBay so I guess it's out now. Man, I really need to get out of the house, ha!

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 - Mattel 1:50 Scale BATMOBILE CAR HOT WHEELS Hitting Stores Now!

Check out these wonderful photos from our Friend BATMOBILLY. He bought some of the new 1:50 Scale Batmobile Hot Wheels the other night. These are the large cars that are sort of like Corgi Toys. This 1st Wave includes 2 Vehicles from the BATMAN RETURNS Movie and 2 from the '66 BATMAN TV Series. The list includes: Armored Batmobile, The Penguin Duck, The 60's Batcopter and The 1966 Batmobile! Now, most of these are re-issues, but if you missed them before then here's your chance to get some!

New Mattel HOT WHEELS BATMAN BATMOBILES Spotted at Walmart

You might have read about these brand-new HOT WHEELS BATMAN Batmobile Toy Cars right here at the Bat-Blog awhile back. Well, our Good Friend and Ace Bat-Reporter BATMOBILLY spotted them, in a special display, at Wal-Mart the other night. Don't worry, they sell them at Target also. These toy cars are really amazing as diecast vehicles but for me there are two very cool things about them: 1. The packaging artwork is awesome ( I really like the use of all the different Bat-Logos ), and 2. They only cost $1.07. Hey, that's something we can ALL afford, ha ha!



There are EIGHT to collect and also keep in mind that some of these are re-issues. For a complete checklist be sure to check out that 1st image of a graphic taken from the back of one card (Click on it for a larger version ).

New HOT WHEELS 1:50 Scale BATMOBILE CAR 3-Pack SETS by Mattel

OK, Remember the 1:50 Scale-Sized Diecast Batman BATMOBILE Cars created by Mattel? Of course you do, they were/are totally amazing! Well, our Good Friend & Ace Bat-Reporter Batmobilly spotted these extremely cool 3-Pack Sets at his local Toys-R-Us last night! 



In no particular order, the 1st Set includes: Batman Returns Batboat, 1989 Batwing, and 1989 Batmobile! The 2nd Set includes: Super Friends Batmobile, 1966 Batmobile with Trailer Hitch, and Comic Book Batmobile! The 3rd Set includes: Batman Begins Batmobile, The Dark Knight Bat-Pod, and The Dark Knight Batmobile! 



These 3-PACK SETS all retail for about $25 each & are in stores now ( Sorry, I forgot to ask if they are TRU EXCLUSIVES but I'm assuming they'll be sold everywhere. If we find out otherwise, we'll let ya know ). Thanks Batmobilly!

New BATMAN TOY - Mattel Hot Wheels R/C Nitro Speeders - Batmobile Tumbler Vehicle

OK, Mattel is totally torturing me with all the cool BATMAN TOYS they keep cranking out, ha ha! Plus, to make matters worse, you know they're gonna go wacky-crazy once THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie appears! In fact, here's a brand-new HOT WHEELS R/C Batmobile TUMBLER Vehicle that is coming out soon called "Nitro Speeders"! I love the WINDOW BOX ART and the toy looks pretty cool too! ( Thanks to our Buddy BATMOBILLY for the heads-up on this ).

NEW DETAIL PHOTOS - 2012 Hot Wheels DC UNIVERSE SERIES Batmobile

Yes, we reported about this NEW Mattel 2012 Hot Wheels Batmobile recently but these photos are different because they show the car OUT of it's original packaging and you can see a lot of cool details. Our good friend, "Skinnybird", opened his up to show us the special features. You can now see the details to the front grill & the scalloped edges of the rear of the car. Overall the design is excellent! ( Thanks for sending these great pics Skinnybird ).

New 2012 BATMAN TOYS and MERCHANDISE Update

OK, This is sort of an unusual post because I usually focus on sharing news about one product at a time but all this news came in at the same time so here we go!

First, we reported awhile back about the new BATMAN Batmobile Hot Wheels Car in the DC UNIVERSE Line by Mattel. But at that time we didn't have a photo of it because it had not been made public yet. Well, here it is! 

Next, here are some new BATMAN and ROBIN items to keep an eye out for. Here are some fun toys in the DC SUPER FRIENDS Toy Line by Fisher-Price ( also owned by Mattel ). They're called "Little People Wheelies" and the cool thing is they're only $4.00, that's smart.

Then, last but certainly not least, is a photo showing a new "bagged" Lego BATMAN Toy JETSKI! This is part of their DC UNIVERSE SUPER HEROES line. Again, smart pricing here, just $5.00.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - New Batman Toys and Movie Merchandise Coming Out!

Here's just a quick post to give Bat-Collectors a heads-up on a few new items coming out after the release of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Movie! First, there will be a company making some Life-Size Cardboard Standees of Batman, Bane, and Catwoman. These are just prototype pics, we'll have the real deal later. I've always liked these thing but they can take-up some major floor space, ha!

Next is this Hot Wheels THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - WALL TRACKS Batman Playset! It looks like you might be able to mount this thing on the wall and it comes with a Tumbler Batmobile!! I totally love the graphics on the box packaging! OK, now listen, we expect that all the major Toy Companies are going to be going crazy with the merchandising for this film. So, if YOU see anything new in stores then please let us know, thanks.

New Batman Toys - BANE Hot Wheels DC Universe Series

Here's a quick post to share a recent retail store find by our Good Friend and Toy Reporter, Batmobilly! He snagged these 2 new Hot Wheels DC UNIVERSE Cars the other night, a Wonder Woman and Bane! Looking on the back of the package is a newer "Batman" Car. Then, we have a random "Concept Art" photo of a few different cars. WOW, Mattel is going crazy with these aren't they?! The one in the very middle looks like a TWO-FACE Car, Cool!

New 2012 DC Universe JOKER Hot Wheels Diecast Car in Stores Now!!

OK, you know that new series of 2012 DC UNIVERSE SUPERHEROES Hot Wheels Cars that Mattel keeps coming out with? Well, here are the next 3 new Comic Book Cars: Superman, Green Lantern, and The Joker! Now obviously we're gonna focus on the JOKER one because the Bat-Blog is ALL ABOUT BATMAN, ha ha! But in the 2nd photo you can see the other cars too and they're really great. Personally, I totally love them! These brand-new toys were found by our Ace Bat-Reporter Batmobilly! He said he found them at Wal-Mart but I'm sure they will hit Target stores soon. Hey, if anyone, and that means YOU, sees ANY brand-new Batman Merchandise in the retail stores then please let us know! ( Thanks Batmobilly! )

Here's a specially Boxed 4-Pack of some brand-new 2011 HOT WHEELS DC COMICS ORIGINALS NOSTALGIA SERIES Diecast Cars. Inside the cool window box are custom rides for Robin, The Penguin, Catwoman, and Batman! The designs are pretty cool, click on the photo above for more detail.

For this week's "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" I thought I would post some BATMAN WALLPAPERS that kind of celebrate a few brand-new BATMAN PRODUCTS out there that are fun!

Now, I know the 2nd one is kinda crazy but I really love these Batman Shoes! Our friend Andy, who lives in the UK, told us about these special Converse Sneakers ( Kid's Size Only, yeah bummer! ) that are sold in England. They have awesome "Batmobile" graphics on them!
