Today I thought I would get back to what the Bat-Blog does best & that is covering the old Vintage Batman Toys from the past. Here's a really nice assortment of items from the 1960's. In fact, most of these came out in 1966 to capitalize on the popularity of the '66 Batman TV Show. The 1st photo is an extremely RARE Batman Halloween Costume by the Berwick Company, for the British UK market. I love the retro-style artwork on the original box, nice! The 2nd piece of Bat-History is kinda goofy but also very desirable by many collectors because of it's rarity. It's an unopened package of Hallmark Birthday Gift Wrap! Oh man, the original retail price was only 25 cents, ha ha! The next item to drool over is the front & back of the Classic 1966 Batman & Joker Paddle Ball Game! You can find this toy sometimes, loose, out of the package, but here it's shown with the original retail bag & header card...most sweet! The last item is one of those Tin-Metal Bicycle License Plate Tags made by LOUIS MARX & CO, INC. This one with THE JOKER graphics is super-dooper rare! In the past I have seen these with Batman & Robin but I think they also made Penguin & Riddler ones too. Anyways, hope you liked some of these. If you have any super-rare Batman pieces to share then please send them in. The Bat-Blog is all about sharing the love of collecting both new & vintage bat-items, thanks.
