1966 Batman TV Commercial with Alfred for Fact Toothpaste

Here's a cool Vintage 60's TV Commercial featuring Alfred from the 1966 Batman TV Series. Alfred is played by the actual actor, Alan Napier! It was for FACT TOOTHPASTE with a special Batman & Robin Poster Offer. Both the posters & the toothpaste box with Batman graphics are extremely RARE & it's really a treat to see old Alfred again!

TWO FREE BATMAN DESKTOP WALLPAPERS

Every Wednesday is "Wacky Wallpapers Wednesday" at the BAT-BLOG & I was so excited about posting these 2 that I posted them about an hour & a half before Wed, ha ha! The 1st one is an incredible graphic by one of my all-time favorite Batman comic book artists, Dick Sprang. This guy is a golden-age classic icon & a true star of the comic art world! I love his "cartoon" style art & bold primary colors. I also appreciate the way he draws such sharp clean lines. Speaking of clean lines, the next wallpaper features a graphic by a more current Batman artist, Kevin Nowlan. His stuff is really good too. This was a convention sketch in pencil & looks really cool as wallpaper....check 'em out! Remember, if you're looking for Batman wallpapers for a MySpace layout or just to brighten your desktop be sure to check out our "Bat-Blog Batman Wallpapers" web page ( link on the top-right side ).

Batman 1966 Give-a-Show Projector MINT IN BOX

A friend on the message boards gave me the heads-up about this item being on eBay awhile back. In my 20+ years obsessively collecting Batman I have NEVER seen this before! ( Not to sound arrogant, because I am not, but that is for me a sign that a Bat-Toy is pretty RARE because I am the super-crazy Batman Collector, ha ha! ). I seriously LOVE the vintage-style graphics on the box. Be sure to click on the picture for a larger photo, it's sweet! They flash a lot of messages about it being a TV Series on ABC, that's kind of cool too. This is now on my list of "Top-Wanted Bat-Items"...Drool, Drool. I love doing the BAT-BLOG. I meet a lot of great people :)

RARE Vintage Batman Watches & Jewelry

DC Comics has marketed Batman into every product you can imagine. One of my favorite catagories are the watches & jewelry mainly because they are sort of RARE & obscure. Here's some classic examples of Bat-Jewelry Memorabilia. The 1st picture really isn't a watch but it kind of is. It's a 1966 Batman Flashlight Watch! It's shown here with the original ad that you could have used to order it & it also came with a small pocket flashlight. These babies are extremely RARE & very hard-to-find! The 2nd example is a classic! This Vintage Batman Wrist-Watch was made by DABS & COMPANY in the 1970's. It's shown here with it's original display box. They also made a Shazam, Superman, & Wonder Woman watch too but who cares, ha ha. They also made a RARE Joker Watch but I didn't have a pic of it at the moment ( not shown ). The 3rd item is something that I would love to find because it's super RARE, almost a museum piece. This is a Batman Pocket-Watch made by the Ingraham Watch Company. Not sure of the exact date but the graphics are really retro-looking. I'm guessing it's from the 1970's or early 80's. The next piece of jewelry is a really fun item. This is a "Flicker Ring" that was made for the Canadian market. It has a 3-D picture that bounces back & forth from Robin to Batman ( Burt Ward & Adam West ). This is really cool! The last picture shows a few examples of Vintage 1966 Batman Jewelry items: Pins, Brooches, & Key Rings.These are shown on their original display cards & are pretty hard-to-find in MINT shape....enjoy! Be sure to check the BAT-BLOG ARCHIVES for many more examples of RARE Batman items & toys. We have over 500 posts to drool over. See you tommorrow!

BAT-PLANES: Different Vintage Batman Airplanes

With the BAT-BLOG I always strive for variety & there seems to be so many different angles on the many aspects of the character that I can do that. One thing I do is collect pictures for awhile until I see a pattern. Here's an example: Tonight, out of the blue, I noticed I had a lot of pics of many different Vintage Batman BAT-PLANE TOYS. So, here's some examples of Bat-Plane Toys made thru the years. The 1st one is probably the rarest of them all & was made in 1966. It's a beautiful Bat-Plane that looks more like a military cargo plane than a plane he would actually have. The 2nd piece of Bat-Memorabilia is this 1970's Bat-Plane that is really cute. Yes it is, it's the cutest little plane ever, yes it is. This was contributed by a friend at the BAT-BLOG Message Board. I personally don't have this item in my collection & wish I did, it's cool. The 3rd bit of Bat-Nostalgia is a Bat-Plane from Canada, called the BAT-GLIDER. It's actually a Vintage "bootleg" Batman toy put out during the 60's to rip-off the TV Series, kind of funny! The last photo is the extremely hard-to-find Bat-Plane that was an accessory in the Batman Justice League of America Play Set made by Ideal ©1966.
