BATMAN IN THE UK - Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!!

HEY KIDS! Today's theme for "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" is inspired by England and here are a few BATMAN Wallpaper-Backgrounds to celebrate! First off is a nice high-res photo of a very tiny Eaglemoss Figure with the Dark Knight on his Bat-Cycle. Eaglemoss is based in Britain and started to make cool Bat-Collectibles a few years ago. This Bat-Cycle Figure was one they made a year or two ago. Right now, they're heavily into creating Batman Chess Pieces you can buy individually.



Next, is a promo photo from the BATMAN LIVE World Arena Tour Show. This started in the UK to rave reviews. This month it's going to be in Germany and Austria. I can't wait till it finally hits the US!! Stay tuned to the Bat-Blog.Com for more news on that!

VINTAGE BATMAN COLLECTIBLES - Chewing Gum and Candy!

For new readers, the BAT-BLOG.COM is mainly about the joys of being a Collector of the Toys and other fun Bat-Memorabilia, both new and vintage. Here are some examples of older items that are sort of "Candy or Chewing Gum" related. The 1st photo is probably the rarest of all the ones shown here, it's a Package for 1966 BATMAN CANDY STICKS from England. I totally love the graphics on this thing!

Next up is another UK Candy item except they're a little more new. These were also Candy Sticks but featured art from BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES. They were made by the Thorneycroft Candy Company, which British people would probably be familiar with.

Then we have a photo of some individually-wrapped JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA Tattoo Bubble Gum! These were made in the USA by the Fleer Candy Co. between 1969 and 1970. When you open the tiny wax wrapper there's a separate piece of paper with one of those water-based tattoos on it. I actually have one of these, with BATMAN... unopened!

OK, last but not least, is a photo a Friend sent me awhile back because he knew it would torture me, ha! Shown here is a completely full PEZ CANDY DISPENSER Store Display Box!! This is from the mid 1970's and oh my god, they were only 59 cents, ha! We got the Penguin, Joker, Batgirl, batman, and Wonder Woman. Oh yeah, these were also the "rubber head" versions which are way harder to find.

Listen, the BAT-BLOG is about sharing the love of collecting old Bat-Toys and even the new stuff. So, if you have some pics of super-rare items or if you come across some totally brand-new merchandise then please let us know, thanks!
