Here's a quick post to share the news of a brand-new BATMAN TOY in stores right now. Here's the New DC SUPER FRIENDS TALKING BATMOBILE from Fisher-Price ( Mattel ). It also comes with a BATMAN "Little People" Figure but did I say that this car TALKS! Ha Ha! This photo was sent to us by our Friend Christopher, Thanks Buddy!
Here are some cool prototype pics of the 2012 Movie Masters Action Figures for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Film. OK, first off I wanna apologize for the tiny pictures but this is what I got. Hey, they still give you a good idea of what some of the figures will look like, ha! The 2 characters shown here, left to right, are Policeman John Blake ( Joseph Gordon-Levitt ) and Trusted Butler, Alfred ( Michael Caine ). The faces look pretty good! For some reason I really like the "Alfred" figure. Plus, we get to see the special clam-shell "DARK KNIGHT RISES" packaging... not bad! Now of course they'll be making Bane, Catwoman, and many other characters. Hopefully they'll make a cool "Commissioner James Gordon" toy! Please stay tuned to the BAT-BLOG.COM and as soon as we have more pics then we'll get them posted.
As a side note:
I wanna ask all you Loyal Readers out there that if you see ANY brand-new pieces of Bat-Merchandise then please let us know. It can be related to the DKR movie or just anything Batman-related. Remember, the main purpose of this site is sharing the joy of collecting fun Batman stuff. Thanks!
Time To Play Magazine was at the recent 2012 TOY FAIR and they shot this excellent video at the Official Booth of Mattel Toys. Here, we get a quick glimpse of some of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Movie Toys! We see a new feature for the Action Figures, called "Quick-Tech", but the main thing is getting to see THE BAT! Yes, this is the new bat-vehicle from the film that kinda looks like the Tumbler Batmobile but it's a hover-jet!
OK, you know that new series of 2012 DC UNIVERSE SUPERHEROES Hot Wheels Cars that Mattel keeps coming out with? Well, here are the next 3 new Comic Book Cars: Superman, Green Lantern, and The Joker! Now obviously we're gonna focus on the JOKER one because the Bat-Blog is ALL ABOUT BATMAN, ha ha! But in the 2nd photo you can see the other cars too and they're really great. Personally, I totally love them! These brand-new toys were found by our Ace Bat-Reporter Batmobilly! He said he found them at Wal-Mart but I'm sure they will hit Target stores soon. Hey, if anyone, and that means YOU, sees ANY brand-new Batman Merchandise in the retail stores then please let us know! ( Thanks Batmobilly! )
Shown right here is some photographic proof on Video that Batman's secret identity is actually a cool kid named Sammy! OK, I thought this video posted by a Parent on YouTube was kinda cute. Plus, it showcases what a really awesome toy the "Batman Dark Knight Mega Cape" was that Mattel made a couple of years ago!
OK, Now, How Cool is This?! Recently, a Bat-Blog Fan named Jeffery got married and for the special occasion he made a BATMAN and WONDER WOMAN Wedding Cake Topper! He used some Action Figures from Mattel's "Justice League" line to make it & it's really GREAT! Thanks Jeffery for sharing this special moment & wonderful photos. Oh yeah, and CONGRATULATIONS!
Here's a fun TV Commercial Video for the HERO WORLD ( DC Super Friends ) Transforming Batmobile Toy by Fisher-Price ( Mattel ). The Batman Car is kinda weird but I totally love that Jokermobile, ha ha ha! For more info on these toys just CLICK HERE for an older post we did on them.
OK, Mattel keeps cranking out all these cool Batman products I can't afford to keep up with, ha! But, here's something pretty cool that I might have to go without food for!
Here's a specially Boxed 4-Pack of some brand-new 2011 HOT WHEELS DC COMICS ORIGINALS NOSTALGIA SERIES Diecast Cars. Inside the cool window box are custom rides for Robin, The Penguin, Catwoman, and Batman! The designs are pretty cool, click on the photo above for more detail. Now, I don't really have any more info on these right now. Like, are they in stores now? But they're popping-up on evil eBay so I guess so. No idea on price either, but I'm guessing the retail price is probably around the $25 range.
We featured some of the earlier ones here on the BAT-BLOG.COM and if you'd like to see those then just CLICK HERE!
OK, It might seem like I'm going a little wacky with the "TV Commercial Videos" today but I have a few to share. Plus, they're fun, so here we go! This is a special TV Spot created by Fisher-Price Toys ( Mattel ) for Italian Television. I can't understand what they're saying ( ha ha! ) but it's still cool to see! This new Imaginext BATMAN BATCAVE TOY Play Set looks amazing!
For this week's "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" I thought I would post some BATMAN WALLPAPERS that kind of celebrate a few brand-new BATMAN PRODUCTS out there that are fun! The 1st one is a nice photo of the 2011 BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM Batmobile Hot Wheels Car made by Mattel. I got one of these recently, it's a cool toy!
Now, I know the 2nd one is kinda crazy but I really love these Batman Shoes! Our friend Andy, who lives in the UK, told us about these special Converse Sneakers ( Kid's Size Only, yeah bummer! ) that are sold in England. They have awesome "Batmobile" graphics on them!
The last Background is a nice hi-res shot of the next NEW 2012 LEGO BATMAN BATCAVE, which is not out yet, but is featured here because it's so AWESOME!
OK, I know these are strange backgrounds but they are fun, please give one a try. Also, be sure to check the Bat-Blog Archives on the left-hand side of this page, near the middle, to see many more. Plus, for all the recent ones we have posted you can be lazy & just click the button down below, ha ha!
IN STORES NOW! OK, on your next trip to Wal-Mart or Target be sure to keep an eye out for these brand-new 2011 HOT WHEELS DC COMICS ORIGINALS NOSTALGIA SERIES By Mattel! This wave contains eight ( 8 ) Superhero / Super-Villain Die-Cast Cars to collect: Batman, Joker, Harley Quinn, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Lex Luthor & even Bizzaro! Yes! When was the last time you ever saw some Bizzaro merchandise, ha ha! The cars are pretty cool but what I love the most is the use of the retro-style graphics, very 1980's! Thanks goes out to our awesome Bat-Reporter BATMOBILLY for letting us know about these, they're great!
The real main focus of the BAT-BLOG.COM is to share the fun and joy of collecting cool Batman stuff! We report on a lot of the mainstream products but we also like to feature unusual items that might go under the radar. Here's some great examples. The 1st two pics were sent in by our Good Friend & Awesome Bat-Reporter, BATMOBILLY! He went on the Retail Store Hunt recently & came up with these unusual items.
First, here is a LEGO BATMAN Winter Hat & Glove Set for Kids. Hey, these are pretty awesome, I'd wear them! I totally love the graphics & the image of Batman & Robin climbing the wall totally make me wonder if it's a homage to the 1966 TV Show, ha! It looks like that famous scene, doesn't it?!
Next up is totally new line of Action Figures that Batmobilly found at Toys-R-Us. They are 4 Batman "STEALTH STRIKE" Toys! He said they were unknown to him & I gotta admit that I have not heard any news of them either, it's like they just came outta no where!
OK, the last photo is a totally cool piece to try to add to your collection but getting it is going to be difficult. Why? It's not a regular retail item but a special Store Display Standee for the BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Video Game. This photo was sent in by our friend Jacob and, if I remember right, he said he got it at Wal-Mart. About the only way to get one of these is to go stalk Retail Stores that might have these & totally suck-up to the Store Manager, ha! I got some of these a few years back for the BATMAN LEGO Game from Blockbuster Video.
Here's a quick post to share some news about a brand-new Batman Toy & it comes in 2 variations. Bat-Reporter, Batmobilly, spotted this new DC SUPER FRIENDS Fisher Price SHAKE N' GO MR FREEZE CAR ( made by Mattel ) at a Target Store & then later noticed it comes in 2 different colors. Now, I'm not one of those obsessed "Completest Collectors" who buys every variation of everything but I thought this news would be worthy as far as picking out a favorite color ( I like the lighter colored car better ). Thanks Batmobilly!
Check this out! here's some photos sent in by our friend Christopher. He recently went on the retail store toy hunt & came across these 2 cool Batman items ( Thanks Chris! )
The 1st pic shows a new variation on the new 2011 HOTWHEELS "MONSTAR JAM BATMOBILE" 2-Car Set by Mattel. The picture on the left is the one from last year and the one on the right shows the new packaging. Plus, it looks like the "1989 Diecast Batmobile" is slightly different.
Next up is a fan favorite. Here's a Fisher Price TRIO DC SUPER FRIENDS Action Figure 2-Pack Set with Clayface & Batman ( Who is "covered with mud", ha ha! ). I totally love these bat-toys!
Here's a quick post to share 2 brand-new BATMAN Toys that are in stores now! First, is a Fisher-Price DC SUPER FRIENDS LITTLE PEOPLE BATCAVE that comes with figures of Batman & Robin! This new toy is also a Target Store Exclusive ( Thanks Chris ).
Next, is a cool piece that's equally as AWESOME! Here's the Just-Released Hot Wheels R/C 1966 TV Series Batmobile Car from Mattel. It looks like it's a pretty good size. I have not seen it in-person yet but our friend & Bat-Reporter, Batmobilly, sent us this photo last night. I kind of forget, but I think he found it at Toys-R-Us ( Thanks Billy ).
The battle between good and evil continues! Mattel is set to release their Legacy BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Action Figure 2-Packs just in time for the Video Game! They will be made available this fall. This wave will include: Batman, Robin, The Joker, & Two-Face.
