The Latest Batman Item You've Acquired?

[Therin of Andor]

The amazingly powerful comic by Alan Moore & Brian Bollard - that Yvonne Craig, understandably, hated for its treatment of Barbara Gordon/Batgirl - is now a novelisation by Christa Faust & Gary Phillips (from Titan Books).

Just picked this beauty up.

Sweet! The complete box and instructions would sell for more than the Batradio singly.

I had no intention of buying all of the NJ Croce "Batman '66" bendables, but I did want the Egghead to stand amongst my Mattel action figures. He’s in perfect scale, but Egghead was the exclusive bendable in Set 2. I splurged and bought Set 2, plus the Joker, Catwoman and Penguin individually.

Ah, the best-laid plans: the seller forgot to send Joker and I had to order him again. (And then I found a loose Egghead! So now I have an Egghead to go with each group of figures!)

I was reminded, in about 1973, my brothers bought me "A Bag of Laughs”, in an orange-coloured bag about the size of a marble bag. We used to argue if it was Cesar Romero’s laugh from “Batman ‘66”. (It was fairly a fairly close imitation.) Sadly, the day we moved house in 1977, the batteries leaked in it. The terminals rusted out and ruined the operation of the toy also putting a big battery acid stain on the fabric.

A friend at school had one, years earlier, and had inspected its operation: there was a tiny plastic record and a little arm, with a needle on it. I found a "Youtube" video today; the laugh is a bit slow in the video, a bit like when the battery would start depleting!

I acquired that Batman Super Micro Bat-Radio at an auction. To be honest I thought it was going to go way higher than what I paid for it. I was not about to let this one pass me by. I remember these as a kid, my father use to go to the electronic store to buy tubes for the TV's he repaired as a hobby and they had this in the shop. I never got one and always wanted it.

I had no intention (again) of buying the Hallmark Batcycle ornament for 2018 - I usually have to trawl eBay and then pay international postage, but today it was right there, on the shelf, at "Zing!", here in Sydney! The scale displays quite well with Wonder Woman and her invisible plane and the Eaglemoss Batgirlcycle. Last year's Batcopter, which I still marvel out - such detail on the tiny occupants - will be going on the Christmas tree this year.

I was able to locate a Chuck Williams owl about a month ago! I couldn't believe my luck! This is authentic, and the previous owner needed cash. Based on what they go for, I feel that I got a fantastic deal! They are, by far and away, the best cowl I've ever had. Sure, others are cheaper, but YOU DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! I wish I would have gotten a Williams cowl in the first place. It was have saved a lot of money of the years!
