I have a friend over at Facebook named Mark. The other day he told me he posted some of his Wedding photos on there & said, "Check out the cake!". So, when I got there here's what I saw...a Wedding Cake Topper with the Groom wearing a Batman Bat-Symbol T-Shirt!! Oh man, how cool is that! Now of course his Bride, Helen, is a very smart attractive woman ( lucky! ) but the fact that she would allow "Batman" to be on her cake is a very good sign that she's also a very cool person, ha ha! I want to thank them both for allowing me to publish their photos. Plus, I want to wish them the very best. Like I said, Mark is a lucky guy.
In a previous Bat-Blog posting we showed the 1st part of this story which, if you never read it, you can read it by clicking HERE! In the 1st one we saw a friend named Justin who had some photos of himself when he was a small kid playing with his Toy Biz Batman Toys from around 1992. Well, now here are the new photos showing his young son playing with his own Batman Toys modern day. He's got the Fisher Price Bat-Cave Play Set with Batmobile Car, Action Figures, & Other Vehicles. It's neat to see the juxtaposition of the two & it's also very special that they're Father & Son. Plus, just to see 2 different generations of Bat-Toys is kinda cool. Here's to the next generation.
Shown here is our favorite little buddy Desmond ( The Littlest Batfan ) sporting a brand-new Batman T-Shirt his parents found at Target! I really love this T-Shirt & even though I don't have a kid, I might buy one just because it's so cool! This one has graphics from the very 1st Issue of the Batman Comic Book. Yes, Batman #1! It's an extremely classic image, very iconic, & I like how they did it. The blue background looks really great with the other colors, a nice choice ( the original 1939 comic book had a yellow background ). Plus, isn't Desmond the sweetest little boy you have ever seen? I think so & I wanna thank him for making his parents send this cool pic!
Well, it looks like our friend Lauren has been pretty busy lately, or at least very creative. YES! She made this totally awesome BATMAN Paper Mache Figure!! I really really like this thing & it even sort of cracks me up too. The attention to detail is pretty good. I mean, check out that cool Bat-Belt! He also has a cool silver Batarang!! I love when Bat-Fans get creative ...so if you guys have any Batman-Related Drawings, Paintings, Custom Toys, etc..then please send them in to us. But before I forget, I wanna thank Lauren for sending in this cool pic, plus let her know she did a GREAT JOB on this...it's an ART MASTERPIECE!!
MEOW! Here's a neat tutorial-video on "How To Make a Catwoman Costume for Halloween". It's worth watching because at the end of the video the cute girl wears the costume she just made...and it's extremely HOT!!
It's been really weird lately but the brand-new BATMAN VAULT "Museum in a Book" Book has been popping-up in conversations with people on the web...a lot! Also, I have got a few e-mails about it too....very strange. So it got me curious about this book's popularity & this is what I came up with. It's just got some really cool stuff with it, especially for the price! The book is 212 pages with a lot of Bat-History & wonderful photos from the DC Archives. But that's not the neat thing really. The cool thing is that it comes with a lot of fun replicas of Vintage Batman items. A Batman Mask, a Bat-Plane Paper Airplane Glider to Make, Production Art From The Set of the 1st Batman Movie, Golden Age Comic Book Cover Art, etc...The Replica Toys are my favorite because they are pieces of Bat-Memorabilia that are extremely hard to find & very rare! All the e-mails I got were mainly from Batman Fans who were really excited after buying this book & didn't know about all the stuff inside. Now, HEY! The Bat-Blog reported about this book a long time ago & you should have known, ha ha! But anyway, the book is available now, so at your next Book Store visit be sure to check it out.
Just a quick post to let Batman Collectors know that CVS Drug Stores now have a few different BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD Giant Coloring & Activity Books. One of them is shown here with the title "Gotham City Limits". ( Thanks to Ben for sending the cool pic & info ).
Shown here are some photos of an amazing Custom Toy made by a Bat-Blog Reader known as "Turkey Bowinkle". Yeah, that's his name. You got a problem with that? But seriously he's a very creative person & he made this LITTLE JOKER Jack In The Box! It's a small wooden box with painted Joker Card graphics. When you open the lid - BOOM! - The Joker pops out! The Joker Figure is some sort of sculpted clay ( painted later ) with cloth clothing & green hair. I really love this little toy. It's so cool! The facial expression on Joker's face is really great & he does sort of look a lot like Cesar Romero from the 1966 Batman TV Show! So, "Turkey Bowinkle" is a very talented artist in deed! I wanna thank him for sending the wonderful pics & also invite all other Bat-Blog Readers ( with special art or craft projects ) to please send us some pics as well.
I get e-mails all the time from Bat-Blog readers & totally love it! But I gotta say that this one was sort of special. These pics came from a friend named Justin who sent a photo of himself when he was a little kid playing with some of his Batman Toys. The cool thing is that he still has those toys today. So, the 1st few photos are the Batman items he still has now & then the very last photo is him with those toys many years ago, as a kid. You can see that he had some of the stuff from the 1989 Batman movie by Tim Burton. This line of Action Figures was made by ToyBiz. There's Batman, Robin, The Joker, & Bob The Goon ( Joker's Sidekick ). He also still has his original Batmobile & Joker Van too! Now, these photos of his toys & the old photos are pretty cool, but the really neat thing is that now he has a son who's totally into Batman & he has taken a few shot of him with his brand-new bat-toys ( NOT Dad's stuff ! ). Trust me, in the future people are going to be saying, "Wow, what neat OLD Batman Toys"...ha ha. For this post I am showing Justin & his Vintage Toys from yesteryear. Then, in a later post, we will show the modern-day photos.
