THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - Walmart Exclusive JIM GORDON Movie Masters Action Figure

Check out this JIM GORDON / THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Movie Masters Action Figure by Mattel. Now, there are a few things that make it special. One, it's a Walmart Store EXCLUSIVE so you can only get it there, Jim Gordon comes with his own AXE weapon ( exciting! ), and he needs the AXE because this figure also comes with the "Broken Bat-Signal" piece. This new toy cracks me up, gotta get one! 

( Thanks to our Buddy Seth for sharing pics of the one he got ).

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - A Few BATMOBILE TUMBLER TOY CARS From Walmart!

Yesterday we posted some pics from our Friend Batmobilly that he shot at Walmart. Well, here are a few Batmobile Tumbler Toys he bought. Two of them are R/C Remote Control. Of course these tie-in to THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie. We're expecting that there will soon be a very HUGE FLOOD of TDKR merchandise, ha ha! Just wait, it's gonna be crazy! But check out these pics. 

The 1st one shows 2 of the standard R/C Vehicles: The TUMBLER Batmobile ( Camouflage Version ) and THE BAT! Oh yeah, THE BAT is the thing we see flying around in the new movie trailer: Catwoman, "My Mother always told me to never get into a car with a stranger". Batman, "This isn't a car!".

Next, is a photo of a Batman Toy that is EXCLUSIVE to Walmart. It's not an R/C Car but still cool, looks like a great gift idea for some kid. I like the window box packaging. It's a Tumbler ( black ) with an Action Figure included. Remember, stay tuned to the BAT-BLOG for more future toy news. ( Thanks to Batmobilly for the cool pics & great reporting )

New BATMAN TOYS and THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Action Figures 1st Wave!

This is sort of a weird post but really actually pretty cool if ya think about it, ha! OK, Please let me explain. Here at this site we have a Fan who just so happens to work at Wal-Mart. She's also a Huge Batman Fan & was very excited to see that some brand-new Bat-Toys came in that were related to THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. She said the weird thing was that all the Employees there have very strict rules about NOT placing the product on the shelves until Midnight, on May 27th. So, at that time, this new stuff will be appearing. The cool thing was she snapped a photo for us of the Action Figures in the 1st wave. You can see them in the 1st pic. 

Also, as a side story: The 2nd photo features some of the new "Mattel Batman" Figures that are out right now ( they don't have a special release date ). I call them the "Mattel Batman" Toys because they DO NOT tie-into any Comic Book, Movie, Cartoon, Video Game or anything. Their actual name is "Power Attack!". These are designed exclusively by Mattel, what they call "in-house".

New BATMAN BATH PRODUCTS & WALL CLOCK In Stores Now!

Last night we were at the evil Wal-Mart to get some household supplies when all of a sudden I discovered these new Batman items! If you hit their "Holiday Cosmetics" area you might be able to find these Batman Bath Products: Batman Toothbrush Holder, Batman Fizz n'Foam Bath Set, Cans of Batman Moldable Foam Soap ( 2 ), & the Large Batman 3-Bath Foam Set! Please excuse my crappy photos, I only had my camera phone with me, but you get the idea! The Large Bath Foam Set ( 2nd photo ) is $9.00 & all the others are $5.00 each. These are usually a pretty good deal, & well liked as children's Christmas gifts, so be sure to get them if you see them. They almost ALWAYS sell-out early! Also, I bet you can also find them at Target stores because they usually have them every year, but I have not checked yet. The next item is something extremely cool that was spotted by our friend Joe! He was at a Walgreens Drug Store where he said he found this Exclusive BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD Wall Clock, it's only $9.99. I really love this cartoon so this clock will be a "must have item" for me, ha ha! ( Thank you very much for sending the pic Joe, I appreciate that ). Now listen Bat-Blog Readers, if you spot ANY brand-new Batman merchandise while cruising around the retail stores then please let us know so we can share the info with other collectors, thanks!

Does BATMAN Wear Boxers or Briefs?

It looks like he wears briefs! Ha ha! Here's a photo I saw over at my favorite 1966 Batman Message Board. It was posted by my buddy Darren & he explained that this is a brand-new product (for Men) that they're selling at Wal-Mart. He said they were only about 7 or 8 bucks, not a bad price! I might have to get a pair. You know, for the ladies. MEOW!!

THE DARK KNIGHT DVD & BLU-RAY Store Exclusives in the USA

OK, keeping up with the whole "DVD & Blu-Ray Store Exclusives" thing is a total nightmare! But here's some early reports I have got so far. Best Buy will be giving away a free "Movie Poster" with all pre-orders of THE DARK KNIGHT ( actually not a real movie poster but smaller ). This is kinda cheesy so look for a way better offer from them once it gets closer to December 9th ( the official release date for the DVD ). Another "exclusive" that looks a lot better is from Wal-Mart. Seriously, ha ha! Walmart will bundle the "Single-Disc DVD" with a TDK Comic Book & Two-Face Coin Replica. The last rumor I have heard is that FYE Stores will have the movie in 3 different Steelcases ( Graphics will be either Batman, Two-Face, or Joker ). I don't have a photo of them yet so if you live near a FYE store please send us one! Like I said, keeping up with all the store exclusive DVD sets is totally crazy so if you have ANY information to share then please let us know, thanks.
