Vintage 1960's BATMAN TOYS and MEMORABILIA To Drool Over!

I have been covering a lot of news lately about a lot of the brand-new Batman Toys that are out there to collect & thought I'd do a post about some wonderful old vintage toys. The 1st photo is an amazing piece of Bat-History & also quite rare. It's the 1966 BATMAN BAT-WATCH by Amsco. This item is really beautiful. I mean the watch, with moving bat-hands, is very cool but the vintage graphics on the card are really great! I like the bright simple primary colors...nice! The next piece has a lot of graphic style also. It's an original bread wrapper for BATMAN BREAD! It too is from the mid-1960's. This pic was sent in by a Bat-Blog Reader named Wes who wanted to share this rare piece in his personal collection ( Thank You Wes ). The last photo is an item that is probably the most rare of all. It's a Justice League of America Rubber-Figure Set, Mint on Original Card. It was made by Multiple Toymakers ©1967. The figures include: Aquaman, Superman, Batman, & Wonder Woman. One thing about it that totally cracks me up is the original retail price back then was 19 cents!! Do you have any Vintage Batman Toys or Memorabilia in your toy collection that you would like to share? If so, then please e-mail us a photo today! The Bat-Blog is all about sharing the love of collecting, thanks.

Brand-New BATMAN School Supplies To Look For!

Right now many parents are trying to get their kids ready for school. That means buying new school supplies. Well, a friend sent me these pics of a few notebooks & folders he found the other night at Wal-Mart. They're made by a company called "Innovative Designs". They have Batman, Joker, Aquaman, Superman, & The Flash on them so some collectors are gonna want them ( I bet I'll buy some eventually ). The weird thing is they use vintage 1980's stock art ( Artist - Jose Luis Garcia Lopez ) & one folder even has the old SUPER POWERS ( Kenner Action Figures ) logo on it! I guess the art director was going for a retro-80's vibe...that's cool. Thank you to the BATFAN for sending the great pics. Readers, be sure to click on the above photos for larger versions.
