"I think I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so."
Here are 2 beautiful Vintage Batman items from one of my favorite countries...Japan! The 1st photo is an original Japanese Press-Release Kit that 20th Century Fox made for the 1966 Batman Movie. This was only mailed to newspaper & magazine companies, to help publicize the movie, & is super RARE. The 2nd item is a "Bootleg Toy" of a cute little boy dressed in a well-made Batman costume. Not sure of the exact date but I'm guessing 1980's era. Be sure to check the BAT-BLOG ARCHIVES for many more examples of RARE Japanese Memorabilia. Also, Be sure to click on the "Press Kit" photo for a larger, more detailed, photo!
