Vintage 1960's BATMAN Toys and Memorabilia - Collector Reference Photos

It been a while since we last featured some cool Vintage BATMAN Toys on the BAT-BLOG.COM. So, Here We GO! The general theme is "Toy Collector Reference Photos" of cool Bat-items from the 1960's. This has always been a favorite era of toy collecting for me. With the popularity of the 1966 TV Show they really went crazy with the merchandising and today there's a TON of great items to try and hunt down!

The 1st photo is an extremely RARE Batman Bobblehead Nodder that was made in Japan. Now, some people might say it's kinda ugly but that's a huge part of it's charm, the "cheesy factor", ha!

Next up is a fun toy that I used to totally love, a 1966 BATMAN Magic Slate. Today I remember these from my childhood and they were super exciting, for about 10 minutes. But I've always loved the graphics on these things. I'm showing 2 different ones here so you can see what I mean. Plus, they're also great for display because they hang on the wall so easily.

Now we come to the 4th picture and it's so beautiful!! Here's a '66 BATMAN Flashlight on it's original Blister Card. Just the toy itself is pretty cool but those awesome graphics on the packaging would have caught my eye as a little kid in 2 seconds, very cool!

Speaking of cool graphics, the last item shown here is this Arts and Crafts Toy made by Hasbro called "RUB-ONS". This one was themed with the Dynamic Duo and had rub-transfer decals you could add to a page to make fun artwork.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - NEW BATMAN TOYS From Funko!

Funko has released some promo images of some of the cool products they're going to be coming out with in 2012 for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman movie. I love their toys so this is great news! First there are a few "Wacky Wobblers", or Bobble-Head Nodders, of BATMAN and BANE. Don't worry, they will probably make a CATWOMAN too. Then, they have done those 3 characters as POP HEROES Vinyl Figures. The last photo shows an ultra-cute BATMAN Plush Doll... AWESOME! I'm sure this company will come out with even more stuff so stay tuned to the BAT-BLOG.COM

BATMAN FAST FOOD TOYS - Justice League Unlimited - Bobbing-Head Heroes 2

HEY KIDS! Check Out These Cool New Toys!! Right now, if you go to an Arby's Restaurant, they have a new KIDS MEAL promoting JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED Bobbing-Head Heroes 2. There are 6 Toy Premiums to collect: Batman, The Joker, Superman, Supergirl, Solomon Grundy, & Lex Luthor. Basically they are "Paper Toy Figures" you put together. I guess I should note that if you don't want to buy the food then most locations will sell the toys separately. Yeah, you know which two I'm gonna buy, ha ha!

Brand-New BATMAN and JOKER FUNKO Toys For 2011!

I'm pretty excited to mention here that FUNKO TOYS will be releasing some brand-new toys & products towards the end of 2011 that involve Batman and the Joker! First, in October, they will release a pair of BATMAN and JOKER Wacky Wobbler Bobble-Head Nodder Figures. They both look great and I love the Vintage Silver-Age Style!



Next, FUNKO has come up with a totally new product called "BLOX Figures" and you gotta admit, they're very very different! These toys have a strange "blocky" look. They will be making ones of Batman and Joker. Look for these around November, 2011.



Oh yeah, that second photo of the Batman Blox Figure in the Box is a special 2011 San Diego Comic Con Exclusive that has "metallic" paint & limited to 480 pieces.

Brand-New FUNKO BATMAN Merchandise & Products

Shown up above for a few Funko BATMAN TOYS that we have already announced here at the Bat-Blog as new products coming out. I just mention them because we have new pics of their display boxes ( packaging ) or we have pics that are not prototype photos. Then, we have brand-new pics of some merchandise we didn't even know about until now. That would be the Funko BATMAN Bobble-Head Air Freshener Toy & the BATMAN PEZ Dispenser-shaped Funko Wacky Wobblers ( Actually, all 3 new items are "Nodders" ). Oh man, this is great news because all of this stuff is very cool! Note: The PEZ Nodders are wayyy bigger than actual PEZ Dispensers & don't have necks that pop-back to give you candy.

BATMAN Product Review - Bobble Head Nodder by NECA

Here at the BAT-BLOG I was recently contacted by one of the companies I help promote Batman merchandise for. They asked me if I would do a product review on one of the items they sell, that they would send me one. So, of course, my answer was, "Heck yeah!" ( ha ha ) But I told them that the danger would be that I would be totally honest about it. They were fine with that & told me that I could pick out anything from their website. Wow! Now that was actually pretty fun! The company I'm talking about is SUPERHERO STUFF. After scanning their pages I found this very cool Batman Bobble Head Nodder made by NECA. Overall it's a really excellent product. The quality is wonderful & the paint job is well done. I love this piece & I'm proud to display it in my collection. OK, now hold on, my main reason for this posting is to talk about this company. I know that some people might be cynical about a review when I'm sort of "getting paid". But not really, I mean, just go through the Bat-Blog Archives ( located at the left side of this page, near the middle ) & you'll see that I'm a very serious Batman Fan & Collector. I've been doing the BAT-BLOG for over 4 years now & I think I'm pretty dedicated. Plus, I'm NOT going to sell my integrity for a $20 item, ha ha! Now one of the early reasons I chose SUPERHERO STUFF to sell things is because I have bought many items from them in the past & they have always had really great service & their prices are very decent. They get your items to you fast & pack them very carefully. Plus, they're one of the few companies that are sort of "progressive". What I mean by that is that they're always adding fresh new product & keeping the website up to date. So, in closing: this BATMAN NODDER is extremely cool, I really like it. I also like SUPERHERO STUFF for providing my readers with excellent service. So, if you're in the market for some Superhero Merchandise ( T-Shirts, Toys, Belt Buckles, Graphic Novels, Action Figures, etc... ) then please hit them up.

FUNKO BATMAN BATMOBILE Wacky Wobbler Bobble Car Toy

OK, I know that I have reported this news to death but I just got some very cool pics of this new FUNKO TOYS product & I wanted to share them. So this will be a very quick post. Here's an Official Photo of the "Wacky Wobbler Bobble-Car" showing the retro-style Batman & Batmobile in all their glory, pretty awesome! The next 2 pics show the original prototypes of this toy, in both the black & blue versions. Yes, this toy will be created in two colors to make us buy them both, ha ha! But if you just bought one, which color do you like the best? ( Yes, I know I don't have a finished pic of the black one so you'll have to use your imagination ). Personally, I'm totally digging the "blue one", because it reminds me of the Vintage SUPER POWERS Toy by Kenner.

New BATMAN TOYS Funko Force 2.0 Mini-Figures!

Right here at the Bat-Blog, about a week or so ago, we announced a brand-new Batman product coming out in October 2010 from Funko. They are some 3 3/4 inch mini-figures called "Funko Force 2.0", and they're AWESOME! Well, at the time we only had a small picture to show as an example but now we have some beautiful high-resolution pics, here they are! We got Batman, Robin, Batgirl, The Joker, & The Penguin!! There will also be a figure of the Riddler but we don't have a decent photo right now, stay tuned. Oh yeah, Funko Toys will also be making a "Batman Computer Sitter" & "Batmobile Wacky Wobbler Nodder". To check them out, just click HERE!

New BATMAN DC Universe PRODUCTS By Funko Toys!!

There's a toy company I really love named Funko & they're mainly known for making Wacky Wobblers ( Character-Related Bobblehead Nodders ). Well, they now have the license to do DC Comics Comic Book characters. Yes!! Now, the Bat-Blog reported about most of these new toys awhile back but we finally got some actual photos instead of prototype pics! Plus, some extra news. First the pics: Shown here are the "Batman Computer Sitter" figure, it's sa-weet! Look for it around August, 2010. The next item is the "Batman Wacky Wobbler Bobble-Car". Basically it's a bobble-head inside a Batmobile car...very cool! ( There will also be 2 color variations, one black, another blue ). Now the new stuff: The next few photos are their Funko-Force 2.0 Vinyl Figures. Shown here is Batgirl & 2 different Batman variations. OK, they look the same in these pics but one of the Batman figures have metallic paint. OK, the very last picture is totally amazing! Here are the 1st seven figures that will come out. We have Batgirl, Batman, Robin, Green Lantern ( what's he doing in there? Ha! ), Penguin, Joker, & The Riddler! Oh man, all this stuff is totally cool. Is Funko trying to torture me?! Well, what do you think about these new pieces of bat-merchandise?

FUNKO TOY Company is Finally Making BATMAN Merchandise!!

OK, as both a Toy Collector & Dealer for many years I have totally been in love with a toy company named FUNKO. They make those really cool "Wacky Wobblers" or Bobble Head Nodders. The company has been around a few years now & there are literally hundreds of these nodders that they have made. They're really great! In recent years they have expanded their line of toys with other items like Small Plastic Figures, Toy Banks, PC Computer Monitor "Sitters", & even Plush Toys. Well, awhile back, here at the Bat-Blog, we reported that Funko was coming out with Justice League Plush Dolls. As soon as I heard that news I knew that they finally got the "DC Comics" license. You see, they have been making Marvel Comics Nodders for a few years now. So, here's the great news! It looks like they will be coming out with a few brand-new Batman items!! The 1st picture is a "Wacky Wobbler" where Batman's head wobbles on a Batmobile Car Body ( instead of the standard "human body", like most nodders ). They have made a few of these with characters like Rat Fink, Betty Boop, & even Count Chocula, among others. The next picture, showing the Dark Knight perched on the edge of something, that's a "Computer Sitter". It's a small plastic figure designed & balanced to sit on the top edge of you PC Monitor. I'm showing one that they made of Spiderman, as an example. There is also a rumor that they will make some "Funko Force" Figures of Batman as well. That's what that picture of Ironman is there for, to show an example. They are very small figures that have a weird "sort-of cartoon" look. I think they're releasing these slower selling products with Batman 1st & will later come out with a ton of regular nodders...which, WILL BE AWESOME!! So, be sure to stay tuned to the Bat-Blog for all future news, photos, & release dates ( I'm excited! ).

New THE DARK KNIGHT Batman Movie Head Knockers ( Nodders ) By NECA Toys

In a previous Bat-Blog report you might remember a pair of Batman & Joker Bobble Head Nodders we posted. Of course they were from THE DARK KNIGHT movie & were pretty cool. I never got around to getting a set but plan on it in the future. Well, it looks like the NECA Toy Company has produced a totally brand-new set of 3 HeadKnockers of TDK Batman, Joker, & Harvey Dent / Two-Face ). These too are pretty cool & it's nice to see some new TDK merchandise.

Classic DC Comics Superhero Head Knockers By Neca - Batman!

Just a quick post: One of the websites I buy bat-stuff from featured a set of three "Classic DC Comics" Resin Head Knocker Nodders of Batman, Superman, & Wonder Woman made by a toy company named NECA. They had the items "pre-listed" meaning they were not available to buy yet. Then, they never came out or were instantly sold-out. Now, they are offering another set of Head Knockers called "Classic DC Comics, Series 2". This set offers another Batman & Superman in more of an "action pose". Also, the other character they have this time is the Green Lantern. I missed the first set & didn't get to report on them because they were "not avaliable". So, I will be getting this Batman Bobblehead this time & I'll search eBay for the 1st one. The thing I like the best about these Bobble-Head Nodders, mainly the Batman Nodder, is he is dressed in the Classic Silver-Age-Style costume. It's blue & grey with the "yellow capsule" bat-belt & the "yellow oval" chest bat-symbol...awesome! Here's a link if you want to pre-order them too:

NECA Toy Company To Release Some Cool THE DARK KNIGHT Batman & Joker Toys!

The NECA Toy Company, well know for their very detailed action figures & bobbing-head nodders, will be releasing a ton of different Batman & Joker products for the 2008 DARK KNIGHT movie. Shown here are 2 Bobble Head Nodders of Christian Bale as Batman & Heath Ledger as The Joker. Wow! The sculpting on these are amazing. They look exactly like the actor's faces! ( Be sure to click on the above photo for a larger, more detailed, picture ). They are also planning a few other wacky pieces of bat-memorabilia. We'll have to wait & see but I like these so far. Stay tuned with the bat-Blog because we'll always keep you up to date on new toys.
