Awhile back, here at the Bat-Blog, we reported about the now-famous ADAM WEST Statue Bust made by the Masked Avenger Studios. Well, now we are proud to announce the 2nd statue in the "Really Retro" series, BURT WARD! Of course we all know him as the actor who played Robin, The Boy Wonder in the classic 1966 Batman TV Show! It will be approx. 9" tall & will be limited to 250 pieces. 100 of the busts will be a special version with "red & yellow" clothing. Shown here is the prototype drawing & if we know this company then the finished piece will be totally amazing...they make great ART!
Gotham City’s female foes do battle in a CLASSIC CONFRONTATIONS statue! The latest addition to this line of statues sculpted by some of DC Direct’s premier talent features Batgirl confronting Catwoman as the feline fatale attempts to pull a bank heist. In a unique twist, not only does each figure’s cape suspend her in mid-air, but the capes act as bases on which the figures stand. Packaged as three separate pieces (Batgirl, Catwoman and the bank vault over which they are fighting), the statue can be set up in a variety of configurations. The Catwoman Vs. Batgirl Statue is limited-edition, hand-painted and cold-cast in porcelain. It measures approximately 8” high x 11” wide x 5” deep, includes a 4-color Certificate of Authenticity and is packaged in a 4-color box. DESIGNED BY MATT HALEY & SCULPTED BY ANDY BERGHOLTZ. Release Date : July 29th, 2009 ( Approx. Retail price $225.00 ).
The BATMAN: BLACK & WHITE STATUE line continues to expand as THE PENGUIN becomes the second villain to join the series! ( The Joker was the 1st one ). Designed by famed artist Brian Bolland, this pose is taken directly from a panel in BATMAN: BLACK & WHITE VOL. 1. DESIGNED BY BRIAN BOLLAND & SCULPTED BY RAY VILLAFANE. The statue measures approximately 6” high x 4.5” wide x 4.5” deep, is painted in monochromatic tones, features a Bat-logo-shaped base and is packaged in a black-and-white box. Release Date: July 8th, 2009 ( approx. $75.00 ).

OK, Hmmmm, this is kinda weird but here are 2 very strange Batman items from Russia. The 1st one is a famous "Bootleg Action Figure" of Batman, shown with original box! I have always thought the bootleg stuff was pretty funny but I don't really go out of my way to buy it. I've always thought every collector needs at least 1 item like this in their collection. Ya know, just for fun. There's some really great stuff made in Mexico that's very wacky! The 2nd photo is an original advertisement for the Canon IXUS 75 Digital Camera. It features a model who has more than one set of hands & he's making a Batman mask out of his fingers, yeah weird but it looks kinda cool. I can't read Russian but I think there's a silly caption up above his head, ha ha! Anyway, I thought some readers would enjoy this stuff because it's so obscure. For some reason you never see much Batman Memorabilia from the USSR...very cool!
