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.

Vintage BATMAN Japanese Tin Toy Robots and Batmobile Cars



OK, This photo is just complete torture for me but it's still great to see some amazing Vintage 1960's Japanese Batman Toys!! The Guy on the right is our Good Friend Yuji who, if I remember right, lives in Dubai. Anyway he recently traveled to Japan to photograph this guy's BATMAN Tin Toy Collection. This Toy Collector has some extremely RARE and insane stuff, "Museum Pieces" actually! Shown here are just a few tiny examples of Tin Toy Robots and Battery-Operated Batmobile Cars. Yuji shot the stuff on Digital Video because he's working on a "Batman Toy Collecting" Documentary. We can't wait to see it!!

Video - Interview with Vintage Japanese Batman Toy Collector Yuji Ueda


Here's a very well-made video featuring our friend Yuji Ueda. He's a big Batman Toy Collector & his main focus is the Japanese items from the 1960's. In fact, the video is sort of a tour of famous Vintage Toy Shops in Japan ( Yes, that would be my dream vacation, ha! ). But, as you'll see from this interview, he also likes the modern day stuff as well. OK, get ready to drool!

BATMAN WALLPAPER - Jean Baptiste's Vintage 1960's BATMOBILE CAR Japanese Tin Toy



OK, The more I look at this image, the more I want to cry! The Bat-Blog has a cool friend over at facebook named Jean Baptiste. He lives in Belgium & is also a major Vintage Toy Collector. His main focus are old Japanese Tin Toys & Robots from Japan. He recently sent me this photo the other day of a beautiful 60's Batmobile Tin Toy Car from his collection. Now, I'm not sure if he was just sharing to be nice, or if he was trying to torture me ( ha ha! ). But either way, thank You Jean for the great pic. I love this old toy so much that I made two BATMAN WALLPAPERS out of it! Just choose the color you like, then POW! You got an awesome desktop background, ha!

BATMAN TIN TOYS - Toy Collection from Thailand!



WARNING: Here's a couple of pictures of part of an amazing Batman Tin Toy Collection that will make you drool for hours. I'm warning you now that if you stare too long at these pics then you will start to cry...this stuff is that cool & that rare, ha! These photos are from our friend "BAT-CAT" who lives in Thailand. There are many examples of some super-rare Japanese Tin Toy Robots. I love that the Dark Knight has been so popular in Japan! Well, the pair of Batman & Robin Bubble Bath SOAKY Containers ( far left ) are from the USA, ©1966. So is the "Jack Nicholson Joker" & "Michael Keaton Batman" Tin Toy Robots on the lower right-hand side. I remember when those came out around the time of the 1989 movie. Also, the 2 vinyl figures on the very far right, where Batman & Robin look sort of like cute little children, those are from the 1970's & were sold in the USA. Everything else is pretty much from the 1960's & "Made In Japan". WOW! What a great selection of very hard to find bat-collectibles!! ( Thanks Bat-Cat ).

Ultra-Rare JAPANESE BATMAN TIN TOY ROBOT in RED COLOR!



This set of photos is from our friend "Bat-Cat" who lives in Thailand. They show an amazing piece from his Vintage Batman Toy Collection. Now, see that Japanese Batman Tin Toy Robot in the RED color? Well, Bat-Cat says it is probably the only one in the world! Now, that's SUPER-RARE, ha ha! Red is such a weird color for Batman to be wearing. Did they run out of blue at the factory? Either way this thing is beautiful. Thanks to Bat-Cat for sharing the pics. Do you have a favorite piece of bat-merchandise at your house? Send us a photo today!

RARE 1960's Japanese BATMAN on BAT-CYCLE WIND-UP FIGURE - Japan!




Vintage Batman Toy Collectors are gonna totally droll all over these pretty photos!! Here's an extremely RARE piece of Bat-memorabilia from the 1960's that was made in Japan. The Japanese always make extremely cool items but this one is kind of wacky! It's a Batman Wind-Up Figure riding a Bat-Cycle ( actually a tricycle! ) that has a large bell on the back. Some of the pieces are tin metal, while others are celluloid plastic ( very fragile ). There is even a cloth cape, a nice touch. This thing is just completely wonderful!! I really love the vintage graphics & the overall coloring of this item is bizarre! ( Thanks to Ben for sharing the pics with us)

The BATCAT'S Vintage BATMAN Batmobile Tin Car & Toy Collection from Thailand!











The Bat-Blog became friends with a Batman Memorabilia Collector in Thailand known as "The BAT-CAT" & he has one of the very best Vintage Batman Toy Collections I have ever seen! He sent us a few photos to share & they feature just a part of his collection of Vintage 1960's and 1970's Batmobile Tin Toy Cars, a few Ray Guns, & even a Batman Robot or two. Yes! Robots!! Most of the vehicles are from Japan but there's also some from Italy & Argentina. I gotta say that my favorites are the older Japanese Batman Toys. All of them are in really great shape & some of them still have their original box or package. Please take a good look at each picture. They will make you totally cry & drool for days! I think the most unusual piece is the "Batman Cowboy Gun". Made from tin metal, it's extremely RARE & very exotic. BAT-CAT also owns a few Tin Toys of the Original LINCOLN FUTURA Car that the Custom 1966 Batman TV Show Car was based on ( 1st pic ) and that's pretty cool!! I wanna thank Bat-Cat for taking the time to shoot these wonderful pics & let him know that I am totally jealous, ha ha! but all kidding aside, I really appreciate it & you have some amazing stuff here, thanks again!
