Hallmark Bat Ornaments
Snagged a couple of the latest 66 themed Hallmark ornaments. The "To The Batcave" ornament is really cool and heavy I might add! Also they did a great job with the Eartha Kitt Catwoman. Pictures don't do it justice. Really sparkles.

Cool. I didn’t think these were on sale yet

Re: Hallmark Bat Ornaments
Yesterday was the official release date as per their catalog. At least here in Canada.

I was told these are delayed to 10/16 in the U.S.
Re: Hallmark Bat Ornaments
With great respect to Eartha, I'm going to abstain from picking that one up. For me, it's double-dipping on a character I already have as an ornament--there are so many other characters they could have done. My guess is that Hallmark doesn't see anything past The Big Four of villains as "recognizable," so colorful baddies like Mr. Freeze, King Tut, Shame, and Bookworm may have to wait in the wings forever.

Re: Hallmark Bat Ornaments
Politely disagree Jim. With so many versions of Julie's Catwoman, not that there's anything wrong with that, I welcome an Eartha figure. I would really like to see a Lee figure as well. Hardly any representation of the other Catwomen. Another villain outside the top four would have been great, maybe next year. I do like the looks of the Batcave, but it appears to be too heavy for a tree branch. I may just display it on he mantle.Jim Beard wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 7:47 am With great respect to Eartha, I'm going to abstain from picking that one up.

Re: Hallmark Bat Ornaments
Agree 100%, Jimmy. First, to have an Eartha Kitt ornament in any configuration (a Santa Baby musical ornament would make my Christmas list) is amazing, but having her as Catwoman is purr-fection. Her rendition of the character was unique to any of the mediums the character has appeared in and a highlight of the third season. I would agree with Jim B on a double dip if they used the same sculpt, but this is a completely new pose, and it's really great to get the only character of color on the show represented in Hallmark ornament form (I know Bruce as Kato was also a racially diverse character, but count him in the GH universe and not Bats IP).
I hope we see some of the other baddies as well (particularly Falseface & Bookworm), but having Eartha this year is a win in my book.

Re: Hallmark Bat Ornaments
Total respect for your opinions. I am quite honestly happy for your own happiness with it. My concern is that this may be the end of the '66 ornaments and we wouldn't get another new character. When they went to "Limited Edition" on them, I figured the line was heading toward the finish line.
But, I will hope I get something cool next year!

Re: Hallmark Bat Ornaments
Got to give them credit though, they nailed Eartha and unlike other Eartha busts or figures that were just a switch of heads on the previous Julie version, this one is all Eartha. Her necklace is higher as only she wore it that way. In many ways this (to me) is the first Eartha we have gotten that wasn't a Julie hand me down. I really hope next year we get a new Batman that isn't a silly Life magazine pose...and a Batgirl Cycle. If I can get those two I'd feel pretty complete. My guess though is Surfer Batman vs Surfer Joker is coming next.

Great video of the new Hallmark Batpole in action.

Re: Hallmark Bat Ornaments
I bought the Eartha today and the Batpoles (that ornament is massive) but agree on your take that other villains are likely off the table. I assume they'll do Batman next year but am hoping for Mad Hatter.Jim Beard wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 7:47 am With great respect to Eartha, I'm going to abstain from picking that one up.

Re: Hallmark Bat Ornaments
I got Eartha and To the Batcave yesterday. My hopes for future ornaments are a light up Batsignal, Riddler, in his derby suit, Batman in a standing pose like the Robin ornament, and Alfred. If those get made THEN I would like The Mad Hatter, and Mr. Freeze.
Re: Hallmark Bat Ornaments
I just got the “to the batcave” ornament. It is really big, bigger than I thought, but VERY cool! It will need a very heavy branch if you are going to put it on a tree.
Re: Hallmark Bat Ornaments
That is exactly why I didn’t get the EK Catwoman either. I sure hope you are wrong on the villains. There are so many more they could do.LizardKing wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 7:57 pmI bought the Eartha today and the Batpoles (that ornament is massive) but agree on your take that other villains are likely off the table.
