Weird BATMAN MEMORABILIA From Russia!

OK, Hmmmm, this is kinda weird but here are 2 very strange Batman items from Russia. The 1st one is a famous "Bootleg Action Figure" of Batman, shown with original box! I have always thought the bootleg stuff was pretty funny but I don't really go out of my way to buy it. I've always thought every collector needs at least 1 item like this in their collection. Ya know, just for fun. There's some really great stuff made in Mexico that's very wacky! The 2nd photo is an original advertisement for the Canon IXUS 75 Digital Camera. It features a model who has more than one set of hands & he's making a Batman mask out of his fingers, yeah weird but it looks kinda cool. I can't read Russian but I think there's a silly caption up above his head, ha ha! Anyway, I thought some readers would enjoy this stuff because it's so obscure. For some reason you never see much Batman Memorabilia from the USSR...very cool!

Humor : Strange Wacky Funny Batman Arts & Crafts!

Here at the BAT-BLOG we love it when people get creative. It's cool when artists create art or objects while inspired by Batman but some of these are kinda weird! The 1st bat-item is a Set of Russian Nesting Dolls. Actually I like the crude artwork, sort of a primative style. The art they stole is from Batman The Animated Series so that's cool. The next photo is some Batman Thong Panties somebody made with cloth material...meow! The last picture is actually kind of neat. This is a custom Batman Costume somebody made for an American Girl™ Doll.

Batman Joins The KGB? Batman Logo in Russia!

Recently President Putin of Russia went on a tour of the new goverment facilty for the GRU. The "Glavnoye Razvedyvatelnoye Upravlenie" is the Main Intelligence Directorate. This is sort of like a Russian version of the CIA. Up above are 2 photos showing the logo-graphic for this organization. The top one is an official BBC News Photo showing President Putin admiring the logo on the lobby's new tile floor. The 2nd is a graphic from their GRU webpage. Does it look familuar?? Ha ha, This is not a fake humor photo but the real deal. Actually, in Russia, the BAT is a symbol for stealth, secretcy, & honor. I guess Batman works for the KGB now!!
