Vintage 1960's BATMAN Toys and Memorabilia - Collector Reference Photos

It been a while since we last featured some cool Vintage BATMAN Toys on the BAT-BLOG.COM. So, Here We GO! The general theme is "Toy Collector Reference Photos" of cool Bat-items from the 1960's. This has always been a favorite era of toy collecting for me. With the popularity of the 1966 TV Show they really went crazy with the merchandising and today there's a TON of great items to try and hunt down!

The 1st photo is an extremely RARE Batman Bobblehead Nodder that was made in Japan. Now, some people might say it's kinda ugly but that's a huge part of it's charm, the "cheesy factor", ha!

Next up is a fun toy that I used to totally love, a 1966 BATMAN Magic Slate. Today I remember these from my childhood and they were super exciting, for about 10 minutes. But I've always loved the graphics on these things. I'm showing 2 different ones here so you can see what I mean. Plus, they're also great for display because they hang on the wall so easily.

Now we come to the 4th picture and it's so beautiful!! Here's a '66 BATMAN Flashlight on it's original Blister Card. Just the toy itself is pretty cool but those awesome graphics on the packaging would have caught my eye as a little kid in 2 seconds, very cool!

Speaking of cool graphics, the last item shown here is this Arts and Crafts Toy made by Hasbro called "RUB-ONS". This one was themed with the Dynamic Duo and had rub-transfer decals you could add to a page to make fun artwork.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - NEW BATMAN TOYS From Funko!

Funko has released some promo images of some of the cool products they're going to be coming out with in 2012 for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman movie. I love their toys so this is great news! First there are a few "Wacky Wobblers", or Bobble-Head Nodders, of BATMAN and BANE. Don't worry, they will probably make a CATWOMAN too. Then, they have done those 3 characters as POP HEROES Vinyl Figures. The last photo shows an ultra-cute BATMAN Plush Doll... AWESOME! I'm sure this company will come out with even more stuff so stay tuned to the BAT-BLOG.COM

Brand-New BATMAN and JOKER FUNKO Toys For 2011!

I'm pretty excited to mention here that FUNKO TOYS will be releasing some brand-new toys & products towards the end of 2011 that involve Batman and the Joker! First, in October, they will release a pair of BATMAN and JOKER Wacky Wobbler Bobble-Head Nodder Figures. They both look great and I love the Vintage Silver-Age Style!



Next, FUNKO has come up with a totally new product called "BLOX Figures" and you gotta admit, they're very very different! These toys have a strange "blocky" look. They will be making ones of Batman and Joker. Look for these around November, 2011.



Oh yeah, that second photo of the Batman Blox Figure in the Box is a special 2011 San Diego Comic Con Exclusive that has "metallic" paint & limited to 480 pieces.
