Even though we try to cover New Batman Movie Information, New Batman Toys, FREE Batman Desktop Wallpapers, the Cartoons & TV Series. The main focus of the BAT-BLOG is, of course, Vintage Bat-Memorabilia!! Here's an example: This Vintage Batman Toy photo was brought to our attention by a Bat-Blog Message Board member nick-named "Jokerscrowbar". This item was recently posted on eBay.UK & is so RARE that we have NEVER ever seen it before! It's the BATMAN CONTROL STATION made in the 60's by Tudor Rose, a UK toy company. The graphics on the BOX are extremely awesome!! The weird thing though is that the actual toy doesn't resemble anything in the "Batman Universe". The rockets look more like something you would see in Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers. But I gotta get back to the graphics on th box. The artwork is done in a sort-of Carmine Infantino comic book style that is beautiful. Looks like it was a painted graphic made especially for the box art. It also kind-of looks like the artwork done for those 1966 Topps Batman Trading Cards too....very VERY nice! Thanx Jokerscrowbar for sharing this with us.
