Here's a great photo sent in to me by a "Wacky Packages Sticker Collector" who thought you guys might find this funny, I do! This is a parody version of what the packaging for the line of 1989 Batman Movie action figures looked like. I'll try to find a photo to add later of the original figure to jog your memory. But this picture is funny just the way it is!
OK, I didn't have much time to post anything tonight so I thought I would show this great reference photo pic of the Super-Rare 1970's BATMAN BATCAVE PLAYSET! This was made by MEGO TOYS in the 70's for the Batman & Robin Action Figure Dolls! I love old vintage toys like this, especially the graphics on the box!! The coolest thing I remember about this now very collectible toy was that it had a Bat-Signal that shot the bat-symbol on the wall, like a flashlight. As always you can click on the small picture above for a way bigger photo. Also, remember to check the archives for more RARE VINTAGE BATMAN TOY information & pics!
For as long as I can remember I have been a really big fan of both the humor & artwork of Fred Hembeck! Those of you not familuar with his work should check it out. He did alot of work for both DC Comics & Marvel Comic Books. Usually it was "filler space" & one of his comic strips would appear on a page or two. Sometimes he did a whole page story. He's even done a few comic books on his own & is a highly sought after commercial artist. But the most important thing is he's loved by alot of comic geeks ( I mean GEEK in a good way here, hee hee ). Once you learn what his art looks like you will always recognize it later. It's sort of simple in a minimal kinda way & very "cartoony" but the details to the character are extremely accurate to who he's drawing & it's really awesome! If you're familuar with comic book heroes then you recognize that character right away! Recently he's been selling his artwork on eBay, what he calls his "cover recreations". These are full-size pen & ink drawings of classic comic book covers in his "cartoony" style ....they're really great! If I wasn't so poor I would buy one or maybe even commission him to do a piece of art! I love his stuff. He also has a nice webpage worth checkin' out. I've included a LINK BUTTON to his website on the top/right-hand side of my BLOG. While there be sure to read his BLOG called "Fred Sez"....funny!
