Eatable BATMAN Chocolate Action Figure!!

This afternoon I received an e-mail from a nice girl named Antya who wrote, "I'm a chocolate crafter & a few weeks ago my friend asked me to made a chocolate treat for her boyfriend who loves Batman so much...Here's the pictures!" Wow Antya, This is a really neat idea & the figure looks cool! I also like the original box you made. It looks like a "real product" you can buy in stores, ha ha! The graphics are really well done, good job. If anyone wants to see her other creations I have included a link button, check it out!

Batman Begins ( Movie ) Chocolate Candy Bars in Columbia

Our friend Tito Contreras, who I think lives in Columbia, sent us this picture of a Vintage BATMAN BEGINS Movie Candy Bar Display Box. They were made during that film a few years ago by the National Chocolate Company & Tito thinks they will be doing something for The Dark Knight. Let's hope so because "Foreign" Batman Memorabilia is extremely cool! Tito also writes a fan website where he shares his joy of Batman Collecting. It's called "Batiblog De Tito". If you can't read it just try "Babel-Fish Translator", it helps. Otherwise there are some very neat photos to enjoy. Here's a link button:

THE DARK KNIGHT: Hershey's REESE'S Peanut Butter Cup!

"You got chocolate in my peanut butter. Oh yeah, You got peanut butter in my chocolate". OK, I bought one of THE DARK KNIGHT Reese's Peanut Butter Cups the other day that is in the shape of the Bat-Logo, ha ha! I had to take a picture to share here because it's kinda funny. They really make it in the shape of a bat! This promotion is gonna be kinda wacky. Hershey's is even having a "FIND THE BAT-SIGNAL AND WIN" Contest. Click on the Reese's Candy Logo for details:

THE DARK KNIGHT PROMO: Hershey's Candy Bar REESE'S Peanut Butter Cup "FIND THE BAT SIGNAL and WIN" Contest!

Hershey's Chocolate Company is doing a major promotional tie-in with The Dark Knight Batman Movie where they are having a contest called "FIND THE BAT SIGNAL AND WIN". As reported here at the Bat-Blog they will be making a special "Dark Knight Batman Candy Bar" that is gonna be the Reese's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups ( Check the Bat-Archives ). There will be posters, counter racks, display stands, all kinds of promo material with Batman all over it. I think the contest is giving away a special motorcycle, not exactly sure yet. They're being kinda secret about it right now but you can visit the Official Hershey's website by clicking the REESE'S BUTTON down below. If for some reason their website doesn't work it's because they're working on it. Come back & try again later. Oh yeah, the news about the contest will appear there on May 15th, 2008.

Foreign Advertisement BATMAN PREMIUM AIRPLANE TOY Nesquik Chocolate Milk Drink Mix

I hate being stupid! What I mean by this is I can only read English, ha ha! Here's an example: I found a very cool photo showing a "foreign comic book ad" where they promote a special offer of a "Superhero Airplane" inside Nesquik Chocolate Milk Drink Mix. There were 4 planes to collect: Superman, Wonder Woman, Robin, & Batman! If I could only get 2 of these you know which ones they would be! I also like the actual product packaging too. I wish I had photos of the real thing, that would be cool. It's hard to tell but I also don't know if these were given away FREE inside the package or if they were a mail-away item where you had to collect points. It might say so in the ad but again, I am stupid, ha ha! The copyright information is too small to read but I'm guessing this was from the early 1980's, maybe 1981-82. If anyone knows the language or country please let me know. I'm gonna guess Argentina or Brazil & I'm pretty sure the language is Spanish.

Thirsty? Try Some BATMAN BEVERAGES!

As Batman Collectors we all know how the marketing people go crazy making every kind of Batman product they can & thank God because it gives us some cool stuff to collect, ha ha! Well, here's a few examples of "Batman Beverages" through out history: The 1st photo is one of my favorites. It's a can of Batman Sparkling Soda from the Cott-Cola Company ©1960's & as you can imagine it is quite RARE! The next example is newer but still extremely RARE. It's a drink-pouch of Orange Drink from Bulgaria. Yes, you read that right...Bulgaria! ( I would really like to have one of these babies, just because it's so unusual ). The 3rd photo is kinda common but still pretty cool. It's a quart carton of All-Star Fruit Punch from 1966. As you can see it has beautiful graphics all around it. They also made other flavors including Grape & Orange. The next "Bat-Beverage" came out just a year or 2 ago. It's one of those Bellywashers novelty drinks you see in grocery stores & truck stops. I think these are kinda cool & when they have make a Batman one I always get it. I think there are about 3 variations. OK, I saved the best for last! The 5th photo is an original store display poster from the 1960's to sell Batman Chocolate Milk. I think these were put out by All-Star, the company that made the Fruit-Punch up above. This is a large poster that is double-sided. So, usually when you find one there's a side that is faded & the other side is MINT. These look really cool framed to hang in the kitchen...sweet! Hmmm, ok, do any Bat-Blog readers have examples of "Bat-Beverages" not shown here? I know they also did a 1989 Bat-Cola in Australia that's pretty cool & some in the UK that had graphics from Batman: The Animated Series. Please send some photos today!

Brand New Batman Character Figures in Argentina!

OK, Here's a recent report from our friend in Argentina named Ramiro. He says there is a chocolate company in Argentina that is releasing some new Batman Premiums, small figures that are prizes with candy. The photo he sent us shows what the box looks like & an example of the Batman-related characters. You get a small chocolate bar, a sticker sheet, & a figure. Actually there are almost 30 of these figures & the weird thing is that most of them are Marvel characters. ( We're just showing the Batman ones here ). I would love to have one of these boxes!!! I think the graphics are cool. I would also like to have some of the Batman figures but no one is selling them on eBay. Actually there is one guy trying to sell them for $20, each! I think that's too much to pay, what do you think? Ha Ha. Oh yeah, on a side note: Ramiro has started his own blog page that's all about Batgirl & Toy Collecting. I've been pretty impressed with how good it's looking. Here's a link to check it out ( it's in Spanish but the graphics are cool ).
