PHOTOS - Frank's Vintage BATMAN Toy and Memorabilia Collection!

Here at the BAT-BLOG we totally love it when Dark Knight Fans share pics of their amazing Batman Toy and Memorabilia Collections. It's always fun to see what other people have! Here are some photos sent in to us by a Serious Toy Collector named Frank. He has a nice mixture of both modern and vintage items. I especially love the 1966 Batman Charm Bracelet, that thing is pretty hard to find! 

Oh yeah, one more thing. This very last photo is the original name tag owned by Adam West. Frank got it at a recent Wizard Con from Adam directly. What a cool idea! ( Thanks Frank, You ROCK, Sir! )

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.
