Love the PJs. That Batmobile ornament is adorable. I’m crafting something for the larger scale version.

Calendar and a great Magnetic Picture Frame with a fantastic picture of Batmite and Batman

I'm not a PJ guy for the most part but these are the exception to that rule! Collectibles be damned, that photo is priceless! Looking forward to seeing the kiddie car project...

Ben, I notice that you have the “bookshelves” in the McFarlane Villain’s Lair arranged in the proper order according to the movie (with the Penguin’s fish tank at the end, and not in the middle, as depicted on the box. That’s a Bat fan’s attention to detail! Have a happy New Year!

Bought the Figures Toy Company box to help display my new Mego 50th Anniversary figures. I'm still waiting on Robin and some others.

Mego had to be my favorite toys growing up and they still bring a smile.

That display looks great!

I did the same thing but I bought two of 'em because I wanted to feature all six of the original releases-- so for you youngin's that have only heard tall tales-- I was there when they came out and I remember it like it was yesterday!

First four figures (in solid boxes-- no windows) were Batman, Robin (both with Removable Masks), Superman and Aquaman. Next trip to the store they were in Window boxes and along came Shazam (Captain Marvel for those of us who know better) and Tarzan! Tarzan was being published by DC Comics at the time so it made sense. On the new boxes there were headshots of Captain America and Spider-Man so we knew who was coming next!

The Mego 50th figures are great! I bought a whole case of them to fill the two boxes and then added the Tarzan, Captain America and painted mask Batman to round it out. So fun!

Wow, I've been beat out bad. You out Whataburgered me. Not sure if you will understand that comment. It may be a local thing. lol
I want to come over and play.

BTW, I just read Mego will be doing Anniversary Joker, Penguin, Riddler & Reverse Flash? this year. I put a link in the MEGO 50th thread if anyone wants to read.

[AndyFish]

Joker Penguin and Riddler are up for pre-order at ZLC Collectibles-- they're a good outfit and ship fast.

MEGOS ORDER HERE

We don't have Whataburger up here in the civilized Northeast but I've been to one during my travels, I'm a fan.

Still catching up on a few books that became tricky to order during the pandemic, when Amazon US stopped delivering parcels to Australia!

"What is the Story of Batman?" (Penguin Workshop, 2020) by Michael Burgan and illustrated by Jake Murray, 106pp.


Batman book with McFarlane and Mattel figures by Ian McLean, on Flickr

Chapter 5 is "Batman comes to television" and has 11 pages. One error has Batgirl arriving in Season 2, but it has several great b/w illustrations and a double spread on the Barris Batmobile.

Who did the illos? Pretty nice. Reminds me of the old Whitman TV books from the 60s.
