Video - BATMAN C3 Minimates Toy TV Commercial

Here's a Vintage 2004 TV Commercial for the BATMAN C3 Construction Toys. It features the Batmobile Car, Bat-Wing Jet, & Wayne Manor Batcave Play Set! I remember when these came out ( before Lego started doing them ) & they were pretty cool! I bought a few play sets at Toys-R-Us when they hit clearance price. I always liked the design of the packaging. They had great clip art & used the "comic book logo" graphics. Plus, the way they featured the Minimates Figures in the window box, on the edge of the box, was kinda clever.

BATWING TOYS: Bat-Plane from 1989 Batman Movie

I collected the Batman comic books along time ago & even bought a few toys but I blame the 1989 Batman Movie for turning me into a super-huge toy collector / Bat-Fan! That year was also the 50th anniversary of the character so it really sparked my interest in the vintage toys. It's hard to believe that this movie came out 18 years ago! I love it, it's a classic. One of the Batman vehicles featured in the movie ( & pretty cool too ) was the BATWING, Batman's Jet Plane that was in the shape of the Bat-Symbol logo. My only gripe about it was that all the Joker ( Jack Nicholson ) had to do to defeat it was shoot it one time with a small Joker-Pistol gun....lame. Ha Ha! Still, a great movie! Here's a few vintage toys of the BATWING they made during the 1989 Batman Movie. We hope these pictures bring back some fond memories.
