This post is a shout-out to a Friend of ours who has been doing an excellent job on a new Batman Toy Collector Blog called "Batman Extreme"! Now, he's a Major Batman Fan and he shares a bunch of cool stuff! At the end of this post I'll share a LINK to it but I gotta warn ya, his site is mostly done in Japanese! But wait, there is plenty of eye-candy to enjoy plus, he does some posts in English. Also, it's really not that hard to figure out how to navigate the site.
One tip, at the bottom of all his posts there is a "Pagination Area" where you click the numbers "2, 3, 4, etc..." Just click those and you can enjoy the whole site. There is some neat stuff like Tin Toys ( Robots and Batmobile cars ). Plus, a lot of new merchandise. It looks like he might focus on "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" Movie Action Figures a little bit too. It's fun, just click HERE!
BAM! POW!! Right now, in Singapore, The MINT Toy Museum is having a major exhibition of super-rare Vintage BATMAN Toys! We just got some photos from our friend Bat-Cat ( That's him in the 2nd photo under the "Batman Robot" Banner Sign! ) and they are going to make you cry, ha!
The MINT Toy Museum is located on Seah Street in a 5-story building & it's collection includes over 50,000 rare and vintage toys ranging from Popeye to Mickey Mouse & everything in between. Included in the Batman Collection are some rare Tin Toy Batmobiles, Japanese Robots, Dolls, Gumball Rings, Puppets, Soakys, Board Games, Model Kits, Plush Toys, etc... WOW!
Here's a very well-made video featuring our friend Yuji Ueda. He's a big Batman Toy Collector & his main focus is the Japanese items from the 1960's. In fact, the video is sort of a tour of famous Vintage Toy Shops in Japan ( Yes, that would be my dream vacation, ha! ). But, as you'll see from this interview, he also likes the modern day stuff as well. OK, get ready to drool!
