Brand-New BATMAN TOYS in Stores Now!!

The cool thing about this post is all these photos were submitted by Bat-Blog Readers, awesome! But basically, here are a few pieces of brand-new BATMAN Merchandise that are in stores now. The 1st pic might seem familiar, this is a new BATMAN Hot Wheels Ballistiks Toy Car made by Mattel. Last month or so they came out with some of these that were Batman ( black color version ) and Bane. They were inspired by THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie. This new one is the classic "Blue/Grey/Yellow" color combination that you see in the older comic books.

Next up is a pic from a Friend on Facebook. He saw this new BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Toy Vehicle Set and thought Bat-Blog Fans might enjoy seeing it. He's right, this thing is pretty cool. This boxed set includes 3 Batman Vehicles: The Treadator, Batcycle, and Attack Copter. The weird thing is that none of these actually appeared in the movie. But, on their own, they're kinda neat. They're also a TARGET Store Exclusive.

Next up is a Batman Figure ( also a Target Exclusive ) that has a "Halloween Holiday" theme. It's crazy!! Now I know there are a ton of collectors out there who collect Halloween items so this should sell easily to them too. Personally, I like the Jack O'Lantern Pumpkin Graphics, a lot! So, have YOU seen any new batman products worth mentioning? If so then please let us know. Remember, the Bat-Blog is all about the joys of collecting bat-stuff and sharing the love of the hobby.

He said he was going for a New School Costume Design with an Old School color scheme. 

Whoops, before I forget to mention, the BATMAN Munny was made from a Glow in the Dark figure. Yes, his eyes glow in the dark! Paul calls him, "Bat-Papi in Detective Mode!

NEW HOT WHEELS Motorcycles BATMAN ON BATCYCLE in Stores Now!!

OK, This is a huge surprise to me and, as a Super-Collector, I'm obsessed with keeping up on all the brand-new Batman Toys coming out! I was totally shocked to see this photo in my email box late last night. Our good buddy BATMOBILLY is on a road trip in Dallas, Texas right now and, while there, he searched through a Toys-R-Us and found this!!

Here's a 2012 Hot Wheels "Motorcycles" Diecast Toy by Mattel showing Batman riding his Batcycle!! It's done in 1/64th Scale. I totally love this thing and never knew it was going to be released. I also love the retro-style of this baby. It has a cool vintage "Silver-Age" look about it; like it's from the 1970's or 80's maybe. VERY SWEET!! ( Thank You Batmobilly, Fine Reporting Sir! )

Well, here are 2 brand-new ones coming out later featuring BATMAN and The JOKER!! Yeah, these are modeled more like the "DC Comics Comic Book" versions. Crazy!!!

Video - VINTAGE BATMAN TOYS - Corgi Batmobile Cars

While surfing through YouTube the other night I came across this cool "Vintage Batman Toy Collecting" Video that features some wonderful Corgi Toys from the 60's and 1970's. Then, last night, I found this old CORGI TOYS 1966 BATMOBILE Store Display Advertising Sign, it's.. so... beautiful! Anyways, I thought these 2 items would go together nicely for a post to celebrate the super-awesomeness of Corgi! (Is "awesomeness" even a real word? I think I just made that up, ha! )

Here at the BAT-BLOG we totally love it when Dark Knight Fans share pics of their amazing Batman Toy and Memorabilia Collections. It's always fun to see what other people have! Here are some photos sent in to us by a Serious Toy Collector named Frank. He has a nice mixture of both modern and vintage items. I especially love the 1966 Batman Charm Bracelet, that thing is pretty hard to find! 

Oh yeah, one more thing. This very last photo is the original name tag owned by Adam West. Frank got it at a recent Wizard Con from Adam directly. What a cool idea! ( Thanks Frank, You ROCK, Sir! )

Kuan's Amazing VINTAGE BATMAN TOY COLLECTION Photos!!

SO COOL! 

He also likes to collect action figures and there are some really nice ones here. I should also add that he likes to create Custom Figures ( or maybe he just buys them already made, I forgot to ask ). Stuff like, "Ernie and Bert as Batman and Robin" or "Simpsons Characters in Bat-Suits", how fun!! Thank you Kuan, you have some super great stuff here and I really appreciate you taking the time to take these wonderful pics. yeah, I'm gonna go cry now.
