Re: New Batman Cover statue Sideshow

Evidently, this is one in a series of Enesco figures. Others seem to be inspired by the 80s Garcia Lopez style guides.

Re: New Batman Cover statue Sideshow

Either cover would have made a great statue. In fact, the color of Batman's costume contrasted to the dark red background on C-25 actually made a 3D effect if you stared at it long enough. For a 3D statue, they really missed the boat by avoiding the use of dark purple in the background. For many of ...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #127: It’s a “Challenge” Just to Sit Through “Legends”

Weren't these specials produced during Fred Silverman's tenure at NBC? It seems he tried reviving any property that he could get his hands on to get the network out of the ratings basement: Gilligan's Island, the Munsters, the Brady Bunch (Brides), even the Flintstones, so why not Batman? I watched ...

Re: Ralph Garman's Batman Collection on MeTV

Looking forward to seeing this. Me-TV is on a lot in my home. I've been following the series even if I have no particular interest in the collectibles being shown on a particular episode. There's always something to learn. I hope Ralph will check in here with any insights that he can offer.

Re: Hamilton Collection Batman sculpture

It looks like they've added a pair of Batmobiles, traditional and a cute Precious moments version. I like the backdrop for the traditional one, but, again, I would wait to see actual photos before ordering and being disappointed with the quality.

Re: The forgotten 1994 Batsuit from DC's "Troika"

I lost all interest in mainstream (read "in continuity") Batman comics by this time. Stylized artwork has its place, but how could Batman even hold his head up with the ears on that cowl? For my money, the best Batman comics of the 90s were the adaptations of the animated series. They were...

I guess it is not surprising that the most important items in my collection are from my childhood when that sense of wonder was still in full force. So... 1.

Re: Looks Like Shazam! is Coming to Blu-Ray!

Interesting. I wonder if this s just a transfer from the source used for the DVDs. Moreover, the DVD had once-lost "lesson" tags as a special feature, but not added back to their original episodes, so I would be curious to know if they found clean versions of those cut segments. Here is a...

FTC Expands 66 Line With Boxes and...Vehicles?

Figures Toy Company is now offering the 66 line in boxes for 19.99, lower than when they were packaged in the clamshells, which suggests to me that they are sitting on Batman 66 figures. What is more intriguing is the display box that they are offering for the individual character boxes. On the back...

Re: Guide to Green Hornet Book is out

I ordered my copy from Amazon last year and was very pleased with it. The author is very thorough in her research and it is very welcome alongside the other Hornet books on my bookshelf.

Re: Hamilton Collection Batman sculpture

Wow! 140 views, but no comments? Is the Hamilton Collection affiliated with the Bradford Exchange? This piece has the same Photoshopped illustration that accompanies their releases and the results there are often disappointing when compared to the artwork. That said, it is an involved piece that dep...
