Great Vintage Toy: The Official 1966 BATMAN HELMET & CAPE By Ideal!

I know we have featured this Classic 60's Batman Toy here before but this one is special because it's a recent find of a Bat-Blog Fan who got lucky at an Antique & Collectibles Store. It's the Official 1966 BATMAN HELMET & CAPE made by Ideal! He told us he found this thing at a shop for $25.00! The box isn't totally perfect but still pretty nice for display. The neat thing about it was that it came complete with both the helmet & cape in great shape! Plus, did I say 25 bucks! ( Thanks for sharing the pics ). I want to invite all Bat-Blog Readers to send us photos of your cool finds. They can be Older Vintage Items like this or something you just bought at the store tonight. Remember: Sharing the love of collecting Batman Toys is the main function of the crazy Bat-Blog!

Graphic Artist Creates a Custom 1966 Batman TV Show-Inspired Bell Motorcycle Bat-Helmet!

Oh man, you just have to look at the photos of this to believe it! A good friend of the Bat-Blog, named Rob, recently created this 1966 Batman TV Show-Inspired Motorcycle Helmet & it's now available (this week only) on eBay. It's a Vintage BELL STAR Ltd. II Racing Helmet that is totally custom-painted with NO decals or stickers. The detailing is totally insane! In fact, it took him a little over a month to create this masterpiece of art! Now one thing you might notice right away is the highly-stylized visor. It was custom painted to match the rest of the helmet & has a Bat-shaped viewing area. It opens up & down plus snaps into place with a click. But don't worry, when closed, this cool Bat-Helmet has great visibility! The other great design elements are all the custom-painted graphics from the '66 TV Series. On the front forehead area is the Classic TV Batman Bat-Symbol Logo. I really like the details here, very nice! On both sides of the helmet you can see the punching-sound words, "POW! & ZAP!". There is also an image of Batman on the very back that shows him looking over his cape & wearing the famous cowl. Words & pictures alone can not describe how incredibly cool this thing is & I know that many Batman Fans & Motorcycle Enthusiasts are gonna go totally nuts over this!! I mean, even if you don't have a motorcycle it's still great for display, ha ha! Plus, it's an original one-of-a-kind item that nobody else is gonna have. If you would like to bid on this item or just see more pictures of it then please be sure to click on the eBay Button down below...Plus, if you're bidding on it then GOOD LUCK!
