New BATMAN TOYS - ARKHAM ASYLUM BATMOBILE 2011 Hot Wheels Car!

A few friends have already told me that they have found the brand-new 2011 BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM BATMOBILE Hot Wheels Car in stores right now! This bat-vehicle looks pretty awesome & in the 1st pic we get to see the Toy Packaging by Mattel. Then, the 2nd photo ( which is a BATMAN WALLPAPER BACKGROUND, click on it ) shows the actual toy itself... beautiful!! Of course this is the Batmobile from the now Super-Classic Video Game. A special thanks goes out to our friend Christopher for shooting these great pictures.

Neal's BATMAN TOYS and ACTION FIGURE Collection Photos!

Here are some wonderful photos sent in by a Bat-Blog Fan named Neal who has some extremelty cool BATMAN items in his Toy Collection. Shown here are just 3 shelves of his stuff & it makes me wonder what other cool stuff he has, ha! But I really like this collection & love how it's all displayed, looks cool! ( Be sure to click on these small pics for larger, more detailed versions ).



There are some 13" Dolls, Misc Action Figures, Hot Wheels Batmobiles, & even some Vintage Toys like the 60's Vinyl Hand Puppet & Ideal Bat-Helmet Mask. Oh yeah, and the last photo should make you drool for days because it mainly features those beautiful MEGO 8" Dolls from the 1970's, plus a few more modern-day Custom Figures. ( Thank you for sharing this Neal, great stuff! ) If any other readers want to share their pics then please send us an email. That offer is always OPEN because the Bat-Blog is all about the joys of Bat-Collecting!!

More BATMAN TOYS and COLLECTIBLES From Around The World!

OK, today I'm on sort of a "foreign kick"! That means I'm focusing on some of the extremely cool Batman Merchandise & Toys made in other countries. But trust me, this stuff is pretty cool to see so you'll like it, ha!



The 1st example is an extremely RARE item. This is a packaged Bat-Ball Toy made in Italy in 1966. This Italian Toy is almost non-existent in the US. It's probably even hard to find over there! I love the vintage-style graphics. Plus, this is one of those toys where the packaging is "everything". I mean, once you open it & there's just that generic rubber ball, then it's no longer a "character item".



The next item is fun because it's Japanese & we all know that some of the coolest Bat-items come from Japan! It's a Video Game Disc for the Sega-Saturn by Aklaim. It's also tied-into the BATMAN FOREVER Movie.



Third, is this BATMOBILE Diecast Toy Car from the UK. It's a Hot Wheels Colour Shifters Car made by Mattel.



Now, the last photos, these are really great! I really love these! This is a complete set of 6 BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES Jelly Glasses from France. I think these might have been for the UK market too. If anybody remembers those Welch's Grape Jelly Glasses we have here in the US then I think these are a little smaller. Now, you might be looking at the photo & saying, "Hey, There's 12 Glasses?!" Yes, this photo shows both the front & back of each glass. The 6 on the left are the "front". The "fronts" have Batman & the "backs" have villains. Well, one of them has the Batmobile, ha, but you get the idea.



OK, I'm hoping somebody who reads this either learned something or at least enjoyed it! What do you think? Do YOU have any wacky Batman "foreign items" you would like to share? If so, then please shoot us a pic, or pics! Remember, the main focus of the Bat-Blog is to share the love & joy of collecting.

Cully's Awesome BATMAN BATMOBILE TOY CAR COLLECTION - Hot Wheels and Corgi

Check out these 2 cool photos of an amazing BATMAN Batmobile Toy Car Collection. No, I'm serious, click on them to see 2 HUGE photos that show a lot of detail, ha! What you will see are large close-up shots of many of the cars owned by our friend Cully. His focus is mostly the Batmobiles made by Corgi Toys and Mattel's Hot Wheels. He has the 1966 George Barris Batmobile, the 70's version, the Jokermobile, Catwoman's Car, the Bat-Boat, Bat-Bike, etc... way too many to list, ha! He also has most, if not all, of the variations of the Monster Jam Batmobile "Monster Truck". I wanna thank Cully for sending in these great pics & sorry it took me so long to finally getting them online, ha! But these photos are wonderful & I appreciate it. I also want to invite all other Bat-Blog Fans to share their pics too.

New 2011 Hot Wheels ARKHAM ASYLUM BATMOBILE CAR By Mattel

The Mattel Toy Company just released some fresh photos of their 2011 Hot Wheels line-up. It looks like we're gonna get a new BATMOBILE! This one looks like the car seen in the ARKHAM ASYLUM Batman Video Game. I think it looks pretty cool & I can't wait to hunt it down!

New Hot Wheels Batmobile Cars - 2010 Mexico Convention Exclusives

Here are some photos sent in by a Bat-Blog Reader who is collecting the Hot Wheels "2010 Mexico Convention" Cars ( Thanks Cam ). Basically, there was an event held in Mexico by Toy Collectors & Mattel sent some of their Designers who brought a ton of Exclusive Promo-Batmobile Cars. Here's a "Brave and The Bold" car with Mexican flag graphics, a VW Drag Bus with a mural painted on the side to create the illusion that the van is actually the 1966 Batmobile ( that one is pretty cool because it's kinda weird ), and, finally, another Chrome '66 Batmobile. It's crazy now how many different variations we have seen. In fact, here's a post we did awhile back with other Mexican Convention Batmobiles... Just click HERE!

New Batman Toys - Hot Wheels 2011 Batmobile Car by Mattel

Here's a picture of Mattel's latest Batman Toy, a "New" 2011 Batmobile. It's sort of like the car in the animated TV Cartoon called "The Batman" & will be a part of the Hot Wheels "Track Stars" series. So, on your future trips to local retail stores, be sure to keep an eye out.

New Batman Toys - 1966 BATMOBILE CARS For 2010 MEXICO HOT WHEELS CONVENTION

Here are a few brand-new items for Batman "Batmobile Collectors" to keep an eye out for. Recently, in Mexico, they had a major Hot Wheels Car Collector Convention. Now the cool thing for this event was that Mattel made a few special cars that were EXCLUSIVE to the show. They made a few new versions of the 1966 George Barris Batmobile. By "versions", I mean, different colors. Shown here are: Red, Blue, White, & even Chrome. Now I'm not sure if they made even more than that but after doing some research these were the only ones I heard about. If anyone knows about another variation then please let us know. Most of these were sold on a "Blisterpack Card" but the "White Batmobile" came inside a bag with a header card.Now, I'm not sure how many of each they made but these are usually very limited.

BATMAN 1966 BATMOBILE CAR Wallpaper Backgrounds

I'm feeling sort of lazy today so I thought I would just post some "Batman Wallpapers" because it's pretty easy to do, ha ha! Actually, I'm very proud of both of these images because they were submitted by 2 Bat-Blog Fans. The 1st one is a photo of a really great 1966 Batmobile Replica Car sitting outside of the recent Big Apple NYC Comic Book Con. It was shot by our good friend BatDave, he was lucky enough to go this year. We have some more amazing pics of this car that we plan to post in the next few days so be sure to keep an eye out for them. The 2nd "Batman Background" is a photo sent in by our buddy Ed. This is an ultra-sharp photo of the 1966 Batmobile Hot Wheels Car ( 1:43 Scale ) made by Mattel. I really love this toy & I think it also makes a very fun wallpaper. Oh yeah, Ed just started a new blog all about "Vintage Toy Collecting" that's pretty cool. It's called "TOYS & STUFF". It has some great photography. Here's a link to check it out, just click HERE!
