Re: The Latest Batman Item You've Acquired?

Last May, I helped my parents move out of their home of 30 years. Saved these from a closet, and pulled them out again for the holiday. I discovered messages on the backs of two cards from my late grandmother. Evidently, they were unused cards from my father's childhood that were stashed away and pr...

Re: Diamond Select Batman resin statue

The 13th Dimension blog posted a photo of the sculpt, and it becomes apparent there is a better statue lurking underneath that paint job (much like some of the character statues from the WB Studio Store that I owned in the '90s). He still looks a little stiff/bored, but the likeness and detail is mu...

Re: 1966 Batmobile Bed

In a quest to relive our childhood through succeeding generations, my father and I went halfsies on Pottery Barn's Batmobile bed for my kids' room. We bought the twin-size bed: 1) better proportions 2) save a little money 3) by the time my kid needs a full-size bed, they might not want a Batmobile i...

Re: New Batman 66 Action Figures from Funko

Odds are these will be smaller, retro-style figures (less articulation and detail) as they have done for several contemporary DC shows and older films like Alien and Jaws.

Green Hornet Pop! figures make for exciting news as well...

Re: Bat cave Atomic Pile

Hi Charles, I've been quietly watching your Atomic Pile model progress, impressed by your attention to detail and how many times you've reworked it to get it just right. Judging by your focus and commitment on this project, I expect your recovery will be a success. Wishing you the best from Orlando....

Re: Batman complete blu Ray <$60

I echo what Andy said. Some folks can't or won't spend that much on a TV show, and I totally appreciate that. Still, early sales figures are important, and I voted with my dollars to show support for more '66 Bat-product.

Re: Join Adam & Burt along with the 1966 Batcopter, Batmobile & Batcycle at MegaCon Orlando

We also paid to pose with all the bat-vehicles. I wish I'd gotten better photos of my son in the driver's seat of the Batmobile. He immediately latched both hands onto the steering wheel at 8 and 4. He didn't need any coaching, and he didn't want to let go! 2016-05-27-Megacon-Batmobile.jpg 2016-05-2...

Re: Join Adam & Burt along with the 1966 Batcopter, Batmobile & Batcycle at MegaCon Orlando

I went to MegaCon with the family. It was the first con I've been to in 6-7 years (I'd rather go and buy comics and stuff without the huge entrance fees and crowds). With all the "farewell tour" talk, my dad wanted to get a family photo with Adam and Burt. It is a family tradition , after ...

Re: Riddler is Wee / Batgirl Turns Three ... more baby costumes!

A bit on the costume construction for those interested. I bought white, cotton onesies and tights and dyed them before applying the question marks using heatpress vinyl. As you might expect, I used RIT dye. With some helpful feedback from Danbar, I mixed Kelly Green and Apple Green. I was trying to ...

Riddler is Wee / Batgirl Turns Three ... more baby costumes!

My father made plans to attend MegaCon this year for Adam and Burt's supposed farewell tour. I figured my daughter would wear her Batgirl outfit again, so I had to come up with something for our infant son. About a week before the convention, she turned three years old, and he hit six months (just s...
