VINTAGE BATMAN TOYS - Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!



OK, since today is "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" and the Bat-Blog is mainly all about the love of collecting Vintage Batman Toys, I thought that today's Desktop Backgrounds would be "Retro Bat-Toy" related. The 1st one is the totally beautiful BOX ART for the 1970's MEGO BATMAN BATCAVE PLAYSET! This is one of those vinyl case toys that open-up to become an environment for dolls or figures. In this case, it's the Mego Doll 8"Action Figures...CRAZY! The next wallpaper uses the graphics found on an original package of 1966 BATMAN TV SHOW VIEW-MASTER REELS. I used to completely love these things as a little kid & would stare at them for hours, ha ha! Now, if you don't like these backgrounds then please keep in mind that we have hundreds more here at the Bat-Blog! Just click the button down below for the most current ones ( around the last 20 or so ) or be sure to check the BAT-BLOG ARCHIVES ( located at the lower left-side of this page ) for many many more!

1966 BATMAN ViewMaster Reels - Revisited




A friend of mine named Brian has a really neat blog titled WHAT MY DAD SAW. I've always liked the design of his header for the blog because it's an old vintage photo of a car's rear-view mirror where you can see the little kids in the backseat, it's very appropriate & kind of clever. It's also sort of a very personal site where he reminisces about his childhood & his father's love of photography. Recently he has been getting into making animated gifs from the stereo images of View-Master Reels. His main focus is the packet of the 1966 BATMAN TV Show reel set. The images are pretty cool & if you remember this old vintage toy then it's kinda neat to see these old photos again, very cool! Here's a link to see more:
