in 1970's, batman, Collectible, Toys, Vintage Toys

Here are 2 examples of some really cool Vintage 1970's Batman Toys. The 1st photo is a boxed set of the Bat-Utility Belt with accessories. Made by Remco it comes with utility belt, walkie-talkie, handcuffs ( or bat-cuffs ), decoder glasses, & bat-watch! The 2nd pic shows a Battery-Powered Toothbrush Set, Mint in Original Box. The toothbrush photo was sent in by a BAT-BLOG reader who told me he only collects Batman items from the 70's because that was when he was a little kid & it's the time period he loves best! That's cool, thanks for sendin' in the picture Donald!

in batman, Batman Begins, Dell, Notebook, PC, Skinit

I have a Dell laptop that I really love & the other night I went to the Official Dell Website to check out some information on it when all of a sudden I noticed the word "Batman" there. I can spot anything Batman from a mile away, ha ha, anyway I checked it out & they sell these large Graphic Stickers you can buy to customize your laptop. They are called SKINIT™. Some are generic abstract art, stock photos, football teams, & even characters like Spiderman. Here's the one for Batman & it looks like the Batman Begins movie.

NEW RARE PICTURES of HOT WHEELS 1966 BATMOBILE CAR - Prototype

in 1966, 2007, Batmobile, Hot Wheels, Toys, TV Series

Here are some extremely RARE photos showing what the NEW Hot Wheels 1966 Batmobile Diecast Car is gonna look like! They are pics of a test-run for the prototype of the George Barris design car. It shows it un-painted but it gives you a really good idea what it's gonna look like. The details are pretty nice & I like the clear-blue windsheild! So far I think Mattel is doing a really great job on these. I'm pretty sure that they know if they make one tiny micro-mistake on these that there will be riots in the street caused by rabid Batman Fans, ha ha, just kiddin'. This Batman Toy being made by this very classic toy company is gonna be HUGE!! Keep checkin' back with the BAT-BLOG for more current news you can't find anywhere else!!

Strange, Weird, & Wacky Batman Products

in batman, Humor, The Dark Knight, Toys

In 1989, during the mass-product craze for the 1st Batman Movie, some company actually made BATMAN TORTILLA CHIPS! I had a picture of those ( sealed in the bag ) in a previous post but recently a loyal BAT-BLOG Reader sent in this photo of an actual chip...it's bat-shaped! Another bit of madness is this BATMAN HAMPSTER HOUSE. This is a brand new product you can go get at Target Stores tonight! When the hampster runs in his wheel it makes a PVC Figure of Batman spin around, ha ha, really! They also made a Superman one also but who cares. The 3rd bit of strangeness are these Batman sneakers made by Converse. You can find them, and others, at Amazon of all places.

Batman Wallpaper - Two Versions : PC Desktop AND MySpace Profile

in batman, MySpace, The Dark Knight, Wallpaper

Here are 2 different versions of the same Batman Comics Wallpaper. The top one, where Batman is on the right-side, is best for desktop wallpaper because he doesn't obscure your desktop icons, which are usually on the left. The 2nd one is better for MySpace Layouts because with him being on the left he's visible when scrolling down for your comments. You decide! I really like this image either way. The background is a photo of real clouds in a neat golden-brown rust color that kinda resembles the color-motif of the newer Batman Begins movie. If you're using this in your MySpace Layout then please look around this site for some of the BAT-BLOG BANNERS that are sprinkled about & choose one of them to place in your profile. All ya gotta do is copy the code under them & paste...easy as pie! Besides looking really cool they are also "clickable" & your friends can visit the batblog!

CAPTAIN ACTION DOLL Batman & Robin Costume Outfits VINTAGE TOY AD from 1967

in 1960's, Action Figure, Captain Action, Ideal, Toys, Vintage, Vintage Toys

Today I'm really tired from not getting any sleep because of the holiday stress. So, I'm just gonna post this cool photo that was swiped from a vintage 1967 sales catalog. The pic features a vintage toy ad for Ideal's Captain Action & Action Boy Dolls, outfits, & car!! For younger people who have NO idea who C.A. is he was a really great toy line made by the Ideal Toy Company in the 1960's. Basically he was kinda like a G.I.Joe doll except you could buy "Superhero Costumes" for him to wear & he could be Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Spiderman, Captain America, Green Hornet, The Lone Ranger, etc...He had a sidekick named Action Boy who also had superhero costumes like Robin, Tonto, Superboy, etc...Also featured in the ad is a vehicle called the SILVER STREAK AMPHIBIAN which is extremely RARE & highly sought after by toy collectors. I thought I would share this toy ad because it shows the Batman & Robin outfits which are really cool!! I hope this brings back alot of fond memories for older collectors & newbies should do a little research on this great vintage toy too! As always you can click on the small picture up above for a larger, more detailed, photo!! Be sure to check out the BAT-BLOG ARCHIVES for many more Vintage Batman Toy news!

Batman WEIRD & WACKY Funny Humor Photos!

in 1960's, batman, Funny, Humor

I'm always collecting obscure Batman-Related pictures to share with my readers & I didn't know how to catagorize these three except to maybe label them as WEIRD & WACKY! The 1st photo was found on a website where the guy was an art student experimenting with Photoshop Techniques. He morphed this extremely funny pic of what looks like Christan Bale from the Batman Begins Movie, LOL! The 2nd photo was found on MySpace where there was this woman who's really into collecting Vintage 60's Toy Dolls & also loves to create custom outfits for them. Here she had knitted a Batgirl Costume & I think it's precious....goo goo goo. The 3rd photo was found on eBay by a guy who was selling some RARE black & white photos he had found at an estate sale where the older gentleman was once an owner of a car dealership & at one time, in the 1960's, he did a promotion to get people to see the 1966 Batman movie at his local theature. He had hired some "actors" to play Batman & Robin....too funny! Plus, I love the vintage look of the cars/clothing, a great era. Well, that's enough weirdness for now, See Y'all Tommorrow!!

SOME PHOTOS OF OLD RARE VINTAGE BATMAN TOYS Sent In By Loyal BAT-BLOG Readers!

in 1960's, 1966, Collectible, Penguin, Toys, Vintage, Vintage Toys

The main thing about the BAT-BLOG is it's all about sharing the joy of collecting both New & Vintage Batman Toys. I know we post alotta cool wallpaper graphics, clever YouTube videos you can watch for free, funny humor photos you can share with friends, etc...but that's not the main reason to come here. The main function of the BAT-BLOG is for Batman Collectors from ALL OVER the world to share information & great pics. The 3 toys shown above are a good example. John sent us this cool photo of his 1966 Batman PIX-A-GO-GO Toy. Basically this now hard-to-find toy was a film-strip that was made of 2 layers & when you moved them they showed the characters in action. Sort of a poor man's animated viewmaster reel. This one features the Penguin & I really love the old vintage graphics...nice litho, cool green logo. The 2nd photo shows a cool airplane glider toy, also from the 60's & MINT IN ORIGINAL PACKAGE, called BAT-JET! This was sold for the UK market & is extremely RARE! The 3rd photo is another foreign toy called BATMAN'S CAVE MAZE. It's one of those wood boxes with a maze on top. A knob on each side controls the tilting effect of the maze & you move a small ball around & try not to have it fall in the holes...These were usually pretty hard to do & as a kid these always got on my last nerve, ha ha! But, this baby is Super-RARE especially with the original box. Also, the graphics on both are extremely beautiful...doesn't it bring tears to your eyes, I need a minute please, LOL. As always you can click on the small pictures for larger photos, especially try out the BATCAVE TOY because it's really detailed! If you have any cool photos you wanna contribute then please e-mail them today!
