The results are in from our first DVD contest, my kids picked the winners this morning, because I had to be fair, there are now four prize lots. First the answers: 1) Who was the better Riddler, Frank Gorshin or John Astin? There was no wrong answer in this although I was curious if anybody […]
Here’s a storage solution that is hardly ever utilized these days, hide all your unwanted junk behind the most discordant image imaginable. That way, when you get the urge to throw something out, the pattern will overload your senses, you’ll likely wet yourself and forget your first name. It’s the Batman Blu-Ray Giveaway Contest! To […]
Corgi was a legend in the diecast car industry, certainly because of the quality and it’s licensed goods. Corgi was best known to children of the Seventies as the maker of “that batmobile” we all owned.

Today’s colouring book is another one I had as a kid, Batman and Robin Battle the Joker in “Comedy of Tears” I borrowed the cover image from Rob Kelly’s Treasury Comics website because this tabloid sized volume is too big for my scanner.While the cover is a 60’s image by Carmine Infantino (which also graced […]
1975 Toy Fair: Janex would later go on to make more talking clocks including Superman and Star Wars.
I’ve never noticed these cool Batman and Lone Ranger Shaker Maker sets before, I wonder why they chose to make the characters with such gigantic heads?
Another bit of vintage toy industry advertising. Growing up, Corgi Jrs were some of the coolest diecast around, not only because of their Superhero lines (I still have my Batmobile and Batcopter) but because they seemed to license almost every cool car from TV and movies including James Bond and Starsky and Hutch. Hopefully I’ll […]
