Congrats, Chunky B!
I just want to say that this was so much fun and I tip my hat to my most worthy opponent, and sincerely want to thank everyone for following our epic challenge and leaving such great comments. I love my fellow toy geeks!
So, now I owe Chunky B an original Batman-themed drawing and a rare 1977 Mego Pocket Heroes Batman.
To see his killer collection, head on over to Eclectorama.
Again, well played, Chunky B!
And just for giggles, I thought I'd show my third Bat-shelf, which includes several other Bat-collectibles like PEZ dispensers, various Batmobiles, a 1966 trading card and the like. Enjoy...

Well, I better get to work on Chunky B's drawing and then I'm heading out to the store to get some more Batman figures, because clearly my collection could use a boost. ;)
That's alot of Batmobiles in that shot Reis... Some folks might consider that a challenge?
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. :)
Look at that, Brian Ashmore is challenging Reis to a "Batmobile off" everyone!
ReplyDeleteHey Reis, again this was a blast, it's awesome that there are so many people that dig Batman out there! Speaking of which, that Batmobile, the Mattle designed one, in the photo above, to the left, in front of the candy container bust. What is that? Is that a candy container too?
Oh, I LOVE that Batmobile with the blue & yellow Batman & Robin! I could swear I had that as a child... looks so familiar...
ReplyDeleteI can't do a Batmobile challenge now that I've shown them all! Drat!
ReplyDeleteChunky - Yes, that was also a candy container. My wife got me that for our first Christmas together. So, although that's my least favorite Batmobile design, it's one of my favorites in my collection for sentimental reasons. She also got me the all dark blue Bat PEZ.
Super-Duper - You probably did have that Batmobile! It came out in the '70s and was in production for years. It was actually my very first toy Batmobile (not this very one in the pic, I recently got that one on eBay).
Well i searched for my Batman action figures, and i have a nice original kenner Batman from animated series, well the painting is bad, but i also got the kenner scarecrow which is flawless. I got a total of 15 Batman figures including bootleg.
ReplyDeleteso, you got your ass kicked, happens to the best of us. Great challenge! Congratulations to both of you, you should have opened that hideous Argentinean Batman bootleg I got you, haha.
ReplyDeleteI did! He's in there on the right hand side of the 2nd pic!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I missed it the first time. Probably because his skin is green! GREEN! Man, why did I sent that horrible horrible thing?
ReplyDeleteBecause you knew I would love it, that's why! ;)
