Ernest's Cool BATMAN LOGO & BATMOBILE Toy Collection!

OK, I have said it a million times & I totally mean it, I love to see other people's Batman Toy Collections! It's always a game of "I got that, I want that, where did he get that?", ha ha! Here are some pics sent in to us by a Bat-Blog Fan named Ernest. He says that his main focus are the Batmobile Cars & just about anything with the famous "Yellow Oval" Batman Symbol Logo. I gotta say that there are some very cool items here! Of course it's almost impossible to pick out a favorite item here because everything is so awesome but I have to say that I really love the HUGE Remote Control Batmobile Car! I remember when it came out & I couldn't afford it at the time. But, someday, IT WILL BE MINE! Another neat thing to mention are the 2 Custom Driving-Light Covers that Ernest made. They are those 2 "Flat Yellow Circles" with Bat-Symbols cut-out of them that you can see in the bottom-center of the very last photo. They were made to fit the large Driving Lights on the front of his truck! These must look pretty cool all lit-up. Ernest, ya gotta send us a photo of that! In the mean time, I wanna thank you for taking the time to shoot all these great pics. Plus, you have the start of an amazing Batman Collection, keep it up! I want to invite ALL Bat-Blog Readers to send us photos of your collection...show us what you got!

BATMAN TOY VEHICLES - Desktop Wallpaper Backgrounds

Hey Kids! Do you know what time it is? It's Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday! Yes, we post some cool FREE Batman-Themed Backgrounds every single Wednesday! Why? Because I'm totally insane, yeah! This week I thought we would go with a "Batman Toy Vehicle" motif. The 1st one is a Bat-Cycle Toy that was made in the 1970's. I like the fuzzy-grainy look of it & it does make a really neat background. Please give it a try! The next one is a Diorama Set-Up made with a Corgi Car Batmobile Toy & a very small Batman Figure. This toy car looks like the one drawn by Norm Breyfogle in the 1980's Batman comic books...sweet! I wanna thank the fans who sent these pics in & if YOU want any special Bat-Wallpaper next week then just let me know!

Also included is the Flash Car, Superman Police Car, Green Lantern Van, & a cool industrial work truck with the DC SUPERFRIENDS logo! Personally I wish they had packaged these separately because all I want is the Bat-Copter, ha ha!

9 Old School BATMAN Vehicles That Rocked!!

Over at the BREAKDOWN COVER website they created a really neat list ( with photos ) of the Top 9 Coolest Classic Vehicles that were used on the 1966 BATMAN TV Show. Like the 1st one ( #9 ) was the "Batman Parachute Pick-Up Service" Van...that's funny! They also show some of the Custom Cars used by the Bat-Villains like Catwoman, The Joker, & The Penguin. Here's a link to check it out, just click HERE!

Mr. Anderson's BATMAN BATMOBILE TOY CAR Collection!

A Bat-Blog Reader named "Mr. Anderson" sent us some nice photos of his Batman Batmobile Car Collection. OK, He has a few action figures & bat-merchandise that are NOT Batmobiles but the main focus is the famous car. While checking out the pictures I noticed he had a black Kenner Superpowers Batmobile ( the original one is bright blue ). I asked what that was about & he said it's a car he's customizing. Wow, that's a cool idea! Overall there's some really great items here & the start of an awesome collection. There are so many Vintage Batmobile Toys out there, & also brand-new toys coming out, that you should be able to stay busy for a very long time! Thanks for sharing your collection with us, that's great! If any other readers have some photos to share ( their collection or anything Batman-related ) then please send them in to us. Our e-mail button is always on the top right-hand side of this page. Sharing the love of collecting Batman stuff is what this site is all about!

Funny Humor Photos: WE MADE US A BATMOBILE, YEEE HAAWW!

Ya know, the Bat-Blog has been covering a lot of the news & tributes to Heath Ledger's death that it's been kinda depressing so I thought I would try to brighten everyone's mood with some humor photos. ( I don't mean any disrespect to Heath ). Here's a photo sent in by a Bat-Blog Reader who collects pictures of custom cars. He loves the Batmobile cars & when he sees some funny ones he saves them. He sent us these..."YYYEEE HHAAAWW! I DONE MADE ME A BATMOBILE, Bang Bang Bang!"

NEW BATMAN TOY: Fisher-Price DC Super Friends Shake n' Go Batmobile Car!

As one of my birthday presents the other day I got this extremely cool Brand-New Fisher-Price DC Super Friends Batman's Batmobile Car by Mattel ©2007! It's called the SHAKE N' GO BATMOBILE. Who's the cutest little car in all the world? You are, yes you are! This is one of the latest additions to the Fisher-Price line of DC Super Friends toys. Now, this is not to be confused with the "My 1st Batmobile" toy car vehicle that was blue, kinda large, & made for the action figures. This is a smaller kid's hand-size Batmobile & when you shake it the wheels start going & it makes "Zoom Zoom" engine noises like it's being started-up. Then, Batman says, "To The Batcave!" or "Turbo Engaged!". Then there's more engine sounds/phrases...very cool!

PHOTOS: 2 New Custom Toys ANIMATED BATGIRL DOLL & PIXAR CARS BATMOBILE ( 1966 Version )

Just the other day I received 2 cool photos from friends who enjoy Batman Custom Toys. The 1st one is from our good friend MILOTIK who likes in Argentina. He recently found this Batgirl Custom Figure Doll that was made from a Justice League Unlimited Wonder Woman. She looks really beautiful & the attention to detail is very good, a really nice custom doll!! I mean, her face & costume look super-great!! In Argentina they call her LA BATCHICA! I love that name, ha ha. The 2nd photo is from a friend named Tony who resides in Chicago. Tony is sharing a Custom Toy of a Pixar's Cars Movie vehicle that is a 1966 Batmobile. The idea is "what-if" a '66 Batmobile was in the animated cartoon & what would he look like. This is a great looking car! It's a very clever idea & well executed, good job guys! We wanna invite ANY Custom Toy Fans to send us photos of their creations. We love it when people get creative with their love of Batman characters, that's awesome!

THE DARK KNIGHT NEW BATMAN TOY NEWS: Bruce Wayne's Lamborghini Toy Car VIDEO

Over at the MTV Movie Blog they have a cool video from the 2008 TOY FAIR with a Mattel rep who shows off the new THE DARK KNIGHT Bruce Wayne Lamborghini Toy Car that will be in the new Batman Movie. Just click on the photo up above as a link to that video...sweet! You can sort of see some of the other toys in the background ( wish I could have gone but New York is wayyy too far away for me ).

NEW BATMAN TOY NEWS: 2009 HOT WHEELS BATMOBILE VEHICLES 2nd Series

Photos for the 2nd series wave of Hot Wheels Batmobile Vehicles are starting to appear. The 1966 Batboat & '66 Batmobile Car with Trailer Hitch are in stores now & the others should arrive soon after. The top photo is from a recent Hot Wheels Collector Convention where they showed off the 1989 Movie Batwing, 1989 Movie Batmobile, 1966 Bat-Cycle ( reissue ), Super Friends Batmobile, & the Bat-Boat with 1966 Car. The next picture shows the back of the packaging for the Bat-Boat & on that we get to see the Dark Knight Bat-Pod Motorcycle, very cool! These vehicles are really great & I can't wait to get them all!!

Funny BATMAN BATMOBILE Humor Photos, Ha Ha!

I swear that I am NOT sucking-up when I say that I really love my readers, for real! They send some really great stuff in to me & to be honest it's my favorite part of doing this blog. There's nothing better than getting cool source material just mailed to you, it's like a gift or something, ha ha! Here's 2 examples: The 1st photo is one sent in by Jeff, from California, he said he saw this car at a shopping mall & had to get a photo. The guy had a custom airbrush art graphic of Batman on the hood of his car ( we also like the gull-wing doors, ha ha ). The next picture is one found on the internet by our friend Mary who said it was from a major fan page for the Miata Car. She told us about how he had a ton of funny pictures, featuring the Miata of course, that had been photoshopped & when she saw this one she knew she had to send it to us! Thanks for sending these in guys, they're great! We wanna invite ALL of our Bat-Blog readers to keep sending us cool bat-stuff. We love it!

Some Brand-New Batman "Hot Wheels" Merchandise Has Been Spotted!

Alright, Here's a news report from our Retail-News Reporter Batmobilly! It looks like he's been hitting a few stores lately. He tells us that at Toys-R-Us he saw the new wave of Hot Wheels Batmobile Cars, the cool 1:50 Scale. As an example the BATMISSLE from the Batman Returns movie is shown. Next is another diecast item from Mattel that even I didn't know existed yet. It's a Monster Jam "Monster Duo" Set. You get the Bat-Truck & a special Hot Wheels Car ( Sort of looks like the Vintage Movie version here ). I really like that car! The last photo is from Wal-Mart & he said he took the pic because getting these DVD movies for only 5 bucks each is a pretty good deal. That is, if you just need 1 of them. Actually they have bundled all 4 of these movies together in one set for around $10. But if you're just missing one of these then $5 is cool. Thanks Batmobilly for the great report! If YOU, the Bat-Blog Reader, see any cool bat-merchandise while you're out cruising the stores then please let us know!

1966 BATMOBILE REPLICA CAR From The BATMAN TV SHOW Desktop Wallpapers

A good friend to the Bat-Blog, named Mark Racop, is in the business of making 1966 Batmobile Replica Cars. I gotta tell you that these cars are pretty amazing! I mean, the attention to every single tiny detail is totally insane! Well, recently, he posted a few hi-res desktop wallpapers of the cars he makes. I thought I would share a few here ( there are many more at his website ) & also give a shout out to his website. It's called FIBERGLASS FREAKS & if you're a fan of the 1966 Batman TV Show ( Adam West & Burt Ward ) then you gotta check it out!

Photos of the New Upcoming 1:50 Scale Hot Wheels Batmobiles by Mattel ©2008

Here's some advance pictures of the NEW 1:50 Scale Batman Hot Wheels Batmobile Cars to released by Mattel. No exact date yet but we'll keep you informed. These photos are really torturing me because I'm gonna have to have them all! They're doing the 1966 George Barris Batman TV Show Batmobile ( Oh My God! ), the Batmobile from Batman: The Animated Series ( This is actually one of my favorite versions, I seriously love that cartoon series ), the Tumbler from both of the Batman Begins & The Dark Knight movies ( very detailed & sweet! ), & a generic Batmobile with a groovy retro look! The 1/50th Scale is approx. 4" long so they will be a tiny bit larger than the Batmobiles released by Corgi recently which were 1:43 scale. The pictures are from the Official Hot Wheels Collectors site by Mattel. Here's a link button to join that club.

It's shown here MINT on original blister-bubble card...sweet! This was very recently on eBay & the last time I looked it was up to $500, wow! I seriously love the vintage retro-graphics. Plus, I love vintage toys from the UK so this is really cool.

BATMAN'S CORGI BATMOBILE CARS THAT WERE NEVER MADE! Production Art for Unproduced Corgi Car Toys

Here are some pretty cool graphics sent in by our friend Steve. You might remember his "Corgi Batmobile Display Case" from a few days ago. He's really into the Corgi & Hot Wheels Batman cars & vehicles. These photos were from the 2006 Toy Fair. They're prototype pics of Batmobiles that Corgi Toys was thinking about making, but they ended up never producing them....major bummer! They look pretty cool! Thanks Steve.

Oh man, now this special group of cars is pretty impressive and this Custom Display Case he had made is GREAT! It has a mirrored back, plus the bat-symbol logo & "Batmobile name" are shown on the top ( They are laser-cut mirrored acrylic stick-ons he found on ebay ).

Vintage 1966 Batmobile HO Scale Slot Car By Aurora & Brand-New 60's Version By Playing Mantis

OK, Here's some photos you can use to compare the old Vintage 60's Thunderjet Aurora HO Scale Slot Car of the 1966 Batmobile ( TV Show ) with the brand-new version by Playing Mantis. About a year or two ago a company called Playing Mantis ( they make the new Johnny Lightning cars ) made a few different versions of a 1960's style Batmobile slot car. It was a part of their Thunderjet 500 series. They are also HO Scale. These are kinda common on eBay & you can find one "Mint-In-The-Box" for about $15.00 to $20.00. I'm gonna try to win one soon because they're so cool! The blue one sort of reminds me a little of the Superpowers Batmobile that Kenner made in the 1980's. Now, Out of the 2 different colors avaliable which one do you like better? The BLACK one or BLUE one? Please COMMENT below.

BATMAN - THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD MATCHBOX CARS 5-Pack Gift Set

Here's a brand-new Batman Toy to look out for on your next trip to Target. Here's the MATCHBOX CAR 5-Pack Gift Set with a BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD TV cartoon theme. The cars & trucks all feature Gorilla Grodd, Green Arrow, Batman, & Joker graphics. Yes, my favorite one is the purple car with the Joker on it. But actually, they're all pretty neat. This set retails for about $8.99, not a bad price. ( Thanks to Batmobilly for sending the photo ).
