Here is some news about a very unusual piece of Batman merchandise. It's a MP3 Player Speaker, in the shape of the Caped Crusader. Yes, this new "toy" is very strange...but I also think it's kinda cool. What do you think about it? For more information be sure to visit the website that sells it, just click HERE!
Here's a vintage TV Commercial that came out around the time of THE BATMAN Animated Cartoon a few years ago. This was for a game made by Thinkway Toys. Basically it was sort of an interactive video game where you dressed up in a Batman costume & it has electronics that would chart your movements & then re-enact them onto the TV screen. I guess it's a lot like the modern day Wii game. I found one of these toys ( Mint in the original box ) about a year ago at a Garage Sale for $1.00, a nice find! The funny thing is, I have never hooked it up to see how the game play is. I need to do that soon because it looks kinda cool. Now, please enjoy the video!
While surfing the internet recently I came across a new company that is kind of progressive & making a few very interesting pieces of Batman-Memorabilia. Actually, they are electronic products that are a tie-in to the DARK KNIGHT movie. The first, & most interesting, item is a Batman AM/FM Clock Radio. It has a projector on the side that you can adjust at different angles & it shoots a "Batman Logo" Bat-Signal on the ceiling or wall. The front, with the neat knobs, has an almost art deco 1930's design but the shape of the case & the digital numbers kinda looks 1970's...a weird hybrid of design but very cool! The next item is a stylish Batman Ghetto Blaster Radio. It looks like it also plays CDs, that's nice. The last item is a Batman Clip-On Digital Camera. There are 2 different styles. One with the TDK Bat-Logo ( shown here ) & another with the graphic of Batman ( not shown ). These electronic products are made by a company called Digital Blue. If you're interesting in all the specs for these devices I have included a link button down below:
Tonight I got an e-mail of a "Product Press Release" from the owner of a new company to look out for in the near future. His name is John & apparently his Hong Kong company, called "POP BOX COLLECTIBLES", is going to make a ton of cool Batman/Dark Knight products & electronics. One such item will be THE DARK KNIGHT MP3 PLAYER that is shaped in the size of the movie's Bat-Logo! The earplugs look pretty cool too! Here's some information on the item:
