Paul's Weird & Wacky Batman Toys / Collectibles






Every now & then Bat-Blog Readers send in photos of their toy collections. I always love that! But the funny thing about this post is that our friend Paul responded to a few pics shown here once that were of "Weird Batman Toys". So, he decided to send us photos of some of his strange bat-stuff... that's hilarious! OK, so the main focus here are 3 really unusual items: a Pair of Holographic Buttons with images of Batman & Joker ©1989, a Set of Ceramic Salt & Pepper Shakers of 2 British Comedy TV Show Characters Dressed-Up as Batman & Robin, & 2 Bizarre Troll Dolls that are sort-of dressed like Batman. Now the last photo is on a more personal level. The Corgi Diecast Penguin Car & 1966 Batmobile are not really weird but are more along the lines of "Bat-Toys that Paul owned as a little kid". Which, for him makes them special because they have sentimental value. And I totally understand & think it's wonderful. I have a few items that were given to me by my Grandmother when I was very little & they're actually the most valuable pieces in my collection...and I'm not talking about "money value" either. One last thing, in case you're kinda freaked out about the Salt & Pepper Set. I really love these guys. They look EXACTLY like the 2 actors from the British UK TV Show Sitcom called "Only Fools & Horses". One year they had a Special Christmas episode where the 2 main characters dressed-up as the Dynamic Duo for a costume party. It turned out to become a cult classic. Here's a clip! Oh yeah, and Thanks to Paul for sending the great pics of the neat stuff, Thank You Paul!!

Vintage 1960's Batman Toys: 60's Nostalgia




OK, the coolest Bat-Memorabilia are the items made in the 60's for the 1966 TV Series, just our opinion! Ha Ha, here's some great examples: The Whitman company, who is famous for their coloring books, also made some great character Frame-Tray Puzzles. I think the puzzles are great! They usually have awesome graphics & are nice for display but for some reason they really get a bum-rap! I mean, the prices for these are usually pretty low, weird huh? The next bit of vintage Batman memorabilia shown here is this really cool 1966 Batman Swimming Pool Ring-Float. We seriously LOVE the vintage graphics on this baby...nice! The last bat-item shown is also the weirdest! Here's the classic 1966 Batman Troll Doll. Ya gotta love that Batman Costume, ha ha! We're asking ALL Bat-Blog Readers who have photos of their favorite toys to send them in today. Mainly, because the Bat-Blog is ALL ABOUT the love of collecting, thanks!
