More New BATMAN MERCHANDISE To Look For!

Here's a quick post to show a few Brand-New BATMAN ITEMS and COLLECTIBLES to keep an eye out for. It looks like FUNKO is continuing their line of DC Universe POP Heroes with the TWO-FACE Vinyl Figure! I don't know why, but I really like this one. Maybe because it's so gosh darn cute, ha! Next is an item that true BATGIRL Fans will really love. Over at the HOT TOPIC website they're selling DC Comics "Girl Superhero" Beauty Products. For an example check out this BATGIRL BERRY LIPGLOSS! I actually really like the packaging design. Then, last but not least, is a DC Universe Action Figure of ROBIN from the YOUNG JUSTICE TV Cartoon. This new toy was spotted at Target.



Now, I gotta ask: If ANYBODY out there comes across ANY Brand-New Bat-Stuff while you're running through the retail stores then please let me know. My email button is always on the top right-hand side of this page.

I just wish we could see more "cartoon clips" of the actual DVD product, but this is a teaser so I guess we'll have to wait.

New Batman Toys - DC Universe Classics - The Joker & Harley Quinn MAD LOVE Action Figure 2-Pack

Be sure to keep an eye out later this year for Mattel's new DC Universe Classic Action Figure "MAD LOVE" 2-Pack Set featuring the Joker & Harley Quinn. But remember that you won't find these everywhere because they are a Toys-R-Us Exclusive. Something sort of interesting: The position of the characters inside the packaging is based on Alex Ross' iconic Painting "Tango With Evil" ( see pic below ). The figures look great but I love some of the accessories - Harley's Giant-Gun and Hammer, Joker Playing Cards, Joker's Cane & Mallet, plus... a Joker Fish!

Video Review - DC Direct BATMAN Action Figure from Superman / Batman Apocalypse - BEST BUY Exclusive

The new SUPERMAN / BATMAN: APOCALYPSE animated film by DC Universe / Warner Bros just came out & if you go to BEST BUY then you can get this EXCLUSIVE DC Direct Action Figure. The cool thing is that it is sold separately & you don't have to actually buy the DVD there to get the figure. Now, I was looking for a decent video review of this figure & found 2 of them. They're both pretty good so I decided to show them both because they each give you a slightly different view of the figure & I thought that might help people more. The retail price for this figure is $9.99, which isn't bad. I plan on getting one of these later. It looks really cool! So, what do YOU think about this figure? Please let us know if you like it or not, thanks.
