1966 Party Ware!

batman_66partystuff.jpg

So much cooler than the movie-related stuff they're putting out these days...

Cookie Cutters!

batman_cookiecutters.jpg

Man, I would LOVE to have a set of these!

Coins!

batman_coins

Not sure why you'd need to trade these, as it appears you get the whole set here...

Child's Bib!

batman_childsbib

Nice! Too nice to get strained peas spat up on it...

Ceramic Bank!

batman_ceramicbank

I'm guessing -- just a guess, mind you -- that this bank was manufactured by the same company who did the Catwoman nightlite of a day ago.

Candy Cigarettes - Yes, Really!

batman_candycigs

I can't imagine any interpretation of Batman condoning this product, can you?

Japanese Batarangs!

batman_boomerang_japanese

Obviously very cheaply made and sold, these could be some of the coolest Batman toys made, so long as they could be thrown halfway decently...

Snap-On Bike Reflector!

batman_bikereflector

Now, here's a Batman bike accessory I can get behind... although it would get expensive to buy as many for your bike as the card art suggests!

1960s Batman Bendy!

batman_bendable

This rather blocky, oddly purple bendy is pretty strange, isn't it?

Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Bat-Scout!

batman_batscout

batman_batscout1

I'm inclined to believe that Marx Toys had this product already set to go when they got the Batman license, so they merely modeled a Batman figure of sorts to go atop it!

Batmania Issue and 3-D Comic!

batman_batmania_3dcomic

Batmania is probably the most well-known Batman fanzine of all time! It would be nice if someone, like Twomorrows, did some kind of trade paperback collection of articles from it!

Corgi Jr. Batcopter and Batman & Robin Figurines!

batman_figures.jpg

I think I've posted photos of two out of three of these items... so at least the Robin figure should be new to you!

Duncan Bat-Boat!

batman_duncanbatboat

batman_duncanbatboat.JPG

Pretty nice item, if you ask me!

Executive Set!

batman_deskset

Here's a really cool executive set! Well, the pencil sharpener looks a bit odd, but still...

batman_desksetboxed.jpg

Judging from the Batman logo on the box, I'm guessing this was an item from the early to mid 1970s.

Lamp!

batman_lamp

Not a bad lamp here... although it does kind of look like a homemade project, doesn't it? Perhaps the original shade for it was cooler.

Japanese Jaguar Batmobile!

batman_japanjaguar.JPG

This tin toy must've been made before the TV series... I mean, Jaguars are cool sportscars, but they can't hold a candle to the 1966 Batmobile, can they?

Italian 1967 Batman Poster!

batman_italianposter.JPG

Another in the series of pictures I wish I had larger versions of! I'm guessing the grey of Batman's costume was rendered red on this photo because that's how it was colored in Italian editions of Batman comics!

Ice Cream Box!

batman_icecreambox.jpg

Yes, there was Batman ice cream. I'm not sure how it was decided that bananas and marshmallows in vanilla ice cream was a Batman flavor... I'd have thought that perhaps vanilla ice cream with a bunch of little chocolate bats would've been more like it...

Hasbro Game Board!

batman_hasbrogameboard

Have I shown a photo of this gameboard yet? If so, was it this large?

Saturday, March 12, 2011

Giant Comic To Color!

batman_giantcomicscolr

I remember these... I had the Shazam! one, and my sister had the Wonder Woman one (although these days, I have my sister's WW book, and the Shazam! one is lost forever...). As promised, it's a giant (tabloid-sized) comic book to color!

German Adam West Batman Puppet!

batman_germanpuppet

Now, that's pretty cool... I'd definitely buy one of these if I saw one when I visit Germany (not that I have plans to visit Germany at the present time...).

Batman and Flipper Game from Japan!

batman_flipper_gamejapan

Only those wacky Japanese licensors could've come up with a game that featured both Batman and Flipper, eh?

Wednesday, March 9, 2011

Pin-Ups!

I remember seeing these advertised in the comics!

Peru Game!

Here's the Peruvian version of a boardgame I've posted before!

Mystery Links!

batman_mysterylinks.JPG

No idea what these are, or what makes them a Batman toy...

Sunday, March 6, 2011

Stand-Ups!

batman_ministandees

You occasionally see these offered on eBay in the package, but this was the only time I've ever seen a loose set offered for sale!

Mexican Bat-Boat Candy Holder!

batman_mexcandyboat.JPG

Now, if this looked like any existing Bat-Boat, it would be cooler... apparently, it was filled with candy, probably sold at convenience stores and the like. The Mexican Batman Candy containers got even weirder, though...

batman_mexicocandytruck.JPG

I present to you... The Bat-Pick-Up Truck!

Marx Bat-Craft!

batman_marxbatcraft

This Marx toy looks kind of cool on the box... I wonder what the real thing looked like inside?

Vintage Lunchbox!

You've got to admire a seller who's this thorough in their eBay listing to post a photo like this one!

Lincoln Batplane!

batman_lincolnbatplane.JPG

I'm guessing this was made by the same "Lincoln" company known for their monster figures. Anyway, this isn't a bad-looking Batplane, although I have to think they just molded an existing airplane toy in black and added stickers!

Think you've seen all the Batplane toys that are out there? I'm betting I've got others you haven't!

Tyco Train Car!

batman_tycotraincar.jpg

I never quite understood why Tyco licensed the DC characters to make train cars with them featured on the sides... it just doesn't quite jibe with me, y'know?
