Check out this amazing Collection of BATMAN TOYS!! Here are just a few photos of our good friend Seth's BAT-CAVE Room! Now, because of space limitations I can only post a few pics but please be sure to check them all out. I know that if you do you will be drooling for days, ha! I mean, there's some really great stuff here: Action Figures, Hot Wheels, PEZ, Masks, Toys, Blankets, Statues, Vinyl Figures, Nodders, Corgi Die-Cast Cars, Toothbrush Holders, Dolls, Puzzles, Puppets, & even Batman Band-Aids! WOW! The list could go on & on forever!
I love how everything is displayed & it's so cool that they're able to use an entire room for the collection. My only worry is that they will probably have to buy a bigger house someday, ha! But all kidding aside I do wanna thank Seth for sharing his BATMAN Toy Collection with all of us. It's great to see a bunch of cool Bat-items all together and this BAT-CAVE room is totally AWESOME! Now, there were way too many pics to share in one post & I will be posting more in the near future, so everybody please keep an eye out for those.
To the Batcave! Once Batman sees the Bat-Signal in the sky, he’s out on the road again, chasing down The Riddler to save the day! Fisher Price ( Mattel ) is coming out with a new extension of their DC SUPER FRIENDS Toy Line called "Geo-Trax". Which, are sort of like a Train Set. The first item to come out will be the BATCAVE R/C Set! It will be sold exclusively at Toys R Us and the Fisher-Price Online Store. The retail price for will be around $66.00.
Here's a cool video a friend sent us a link to. It's a basic presentation by a Mattel Spokeperson of some new IMAGINEXT DC SUPER FRIENDS TOYS coming out this year. These were presented at the last 2011 TOY FAIR. It looks like they're coming out with a brand-new multi-level Bat-Cave and a ton of new Batman Figures! Here, we get to see the Penguin & his Penguin-Sub, Another Batmobile Vehicle, Clayface, & Catwoman with her Cat-Cycle. Man, how many items are they making for this toy line? I'm gonna need 3 more jobs to buy all of this stuff, ha ha!
YES! FINALLY! We finally get some decent press coverage from the BATMAN LIVE World Tour Show that will start in the UK & then arrive later in the US. Oh yeah, Featured in these 4 Video Clips: We get to see the Set Design, an Animation Sample for the Stage Video Screen, a CG representation of Harley Quinn's Carnival & also Wayne Manor ( with a very small teaser of the Bat-Cave ), and then the very last video shows all the Actors & their Costumes! Oh man, everything looks really really AWESOME!! I think this show is going to be incredible!
If you have small children who love BATMAN then you're gonna want to keep an eye out for these brand-new toys by Fisher Price. They're called TRIO DC SUPER FRIENDS & they're basically a building block game with small figures. The 1st two out of the gate will be THE BATMAN BATCAVE Play Set & The JOKER-BOT!! These are totally awesome! As you can see by the sample photos, they can be built in many different ways. I'm really loving these because they not only extend their already existing IMAGINEXT Action Figure toy line, but they also add a lot of game play & use of imagination...very clever. The BATCAVE has an approx. retail price of $35.00 & The JOKER-BOT is $18.00. These should be in store very soon if they are not already.
Here's a very fun video that tells you how to get to the original Bat-Cave location in California. It was done by a good friend of mine named Scott. I was kind of impressed with how well done it was. Anyway we all know the famous scene in the 1966 Batman TV Show when the Batmobile roars out of the Bat-Cave ( Atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed...). Well, this cave he takes you to is the exact location they filmed that classic piece of bat-history! It's called the Bronson Cave & is located in Hollywood, CA. For anyone who lives in California, or on vacation, I highly recommend visiting this landmark, it's kinda neat! Scott's directions are very clear & precise. So, go check out the BAT-CAVE!! Also, if any readers here go visit please send us some photos or share your story...thanks.
Here's a short video from a friend who is just getting into 3-D animation. As an artist he's totally inspired by the 1966 Batman TV Series & did this as a test. Actually it's extremely cool & you go from the Bat-Poles to the Bat-Cave! Also, the "George Barris Batmobile" looks pretty awesome! It's a short test but I think he did a pretty good job. There's really a lot of details to it, especially the Batcave interior. Please leave a comment down below letting him know what you feel about it. I think he would get a kick out of that, thanks.
In one of the movie trailers for The Dark Knight you can see "Batman's Closet" where he stores the Bat-Suit & all of his weapons. It rises out of the floor of Bruce Wayne's Bat Cave ( very cool ) & opens up. The weapons storage is inside the doors & while most of the items are kind of recognizable there was one item, at the top, that was freaking everybody out. A lot of people thought it was a rifle or other deadly weapon ( that Batman would NEVER use ) but in fact it's a High-Powered Grapple Gun Rifle, for long distances. I think it also shoots explosive devices to take out doors & windows. Anyways, here's some pics to enjoy. ( Click on the small photo up above for a larger, more detailed, version ).
Tonight I started to panic because I just realized that it's Wednesday & I didn't post 2 brand-new FREE Batman Desktop Wallpapers, oh my god! Ha Ha, OK, Here's two that I know you'll like. The 1st one uses some cool retro-graphics that were once on the back of one of those Treasury Comics in the 1970's, a great image. The 2nd one is of the actor Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne. He's in the new Bat-Cave that will be featured in The Dark Knight / Batman movie. You also get a glimpse of the new Bat-Suit, sweet.
Here's a new picture from THE DARK KNIGHT Batman Movie showing Alfred ( Micheal Caine ) in the new Bat-Cave explaining to Bruce Wayne / Batman ( Christian Bale ) what he thinks about this blog, ha ha ha! Yes, shame on me.
Wow! When I opened my e-mail this morning I was shocked by this awesome set of photos! Thank you Dave, thank you very much, these are great!!! The 1st one shows a nice example of what the Bat-Cave is gonna look like. I like the way the Bat-Costume is displayed behind Christian Bale ( Bruce Wayne ). Plus, it's nice to see Micheal Caine as Alfred again, indeed. The 2nd pic is a GREAT photo of Heath Ledger as The Joker. One of the best so far! The 3rd photograph shows the BAT-POD Bat-Bike in action...love it! The last of the pix features Batman resting on a balcony in Gotham City. It really shows the new Bat-Costume in a lot of sharp detail...nice!! Thanks again Dave, these are seriously cool!!
