BATMAN AUCTION NEWS - Rare ROBIN PEZ Dispenser Sells For Over $1500

Just recently, on evil eBay, a Rare ROBIN The Boy Wonder PEZ CANDY Dispenser Prototype sold for $1540.00, wow! Back in the 1970's the PEZ CANDY Company came out with a set of DC Comics Superhero Dispensers. They made Batman, Batgirl, Wonder Woman, The Joker, and The Penguin. Now that was not a big deal really. They came out with new characters all the time. But the thing about these that were special were that they had "rubber heads" instead of the regular hard plastic ones. PEZ experimented with this on occasion & there are a few "Rubber Heads" out there. I don't know if they were created for safety reasons or to lower the cost of production, who knows.

But as a manufacturing company PEZ needed to create promotional literature to send to Retail Store chains so these places would order their product. So, from time to time, they would make these "fake PEZ" for the photographs, usually, before production happened. Most of the time they had already created a mold in which to make the product. OK, for a promo photo they added some ROBIN PEZ that they were considering. Why he was dropped nobody knows but my guess is that they thought he would not sell very well ( everybody will want "Batman" ) or they wanted a "Girl PEZ" to make sure that Moms bought these toys for their Daughters too. That might explain the weird fact that there is a "Wonder Woman" mixed in with all these Batman characters.

So now this long-winded story ( sorry ) gets to the modern-day Auction. This eBay Seller had somehow come across this RARE "Robin" Prototype that was still "MINT in Original Package" & never produced on a large scale. Like, I don't know the exact numbers, but they might have only made 10 of these & then how many of these exist today? So, in both the PEZ collecting world and Batman Memorabilia this ROBIN PEZ is super-rare!

For this week's "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" I thought I would post some BATMAN WALLPAPERS that kind of celebrate a few brand-new BATMAN PRODUCTS out there that are fun!

The last Background is a nice hi-res shot of the next NEW 2012 LEGO BATMAN BATCAVE, which is not out yet, but is featured here because it's so AWESOME!



OK, I know these are strange backgrounds but they are fun, please give one a try. Also, be sure to check the Bat-Blog Archives on the left-hand side of this page, near the middle, to see many more.

A Good Friend to the Bat-Blog, named Jennifer, sent us some wonderful photos of a brand-new set of DC Comics Licensed-Products, BATMAN Cotton Fabric!! Oh yeah, here's some new Bolts of Cloth with graphic appeal!

BATMAN FINE ART SCULPTURE by Ceramics Artist Calvin

I recently discovered an Artist's website where he showcases his cool Ceramic Work. His name is Calvin & he lives in the San Francisco area. His artwork is very very impressive! He has his own style of Art where he makes Humanoid Creatures that are very organic, think: Wood, Fire, Water... that kinda thing. They're really great!



But, he also did a series of Superhero Characters and, obviously, my favorite was the Dark Knight himself, BATMAN! Now, in that Superhero Series, he also made an incredible X-Men Comics Wolverine, He-Man The Master of The Universe, Captain America, Amazing Spiderman, and Lion-O ( Thundercats ). Here's a link to check the out, while you're there be sure to look at everything - You'll be glad you did! Just click HERE!

New BATMAN CEREAL BOX - DC Comics Promo By General Mills

Here's a new "Batman Product" you might keep an eye out for on your next shopping trip to the Grocery Store. General Mills Cereals is running a promo with DC Comics to promote the JUSTICE LEAGUE characters. They have a neat Cereal Box with some small "DC Comics" graphics on the front, but the cool thing is that one of the boxes has a large cut-out mask of Batman on the back! Also, FREE INSIDE, is a really great mini-size comic book. It's actually very decent quality measuring about 5" X 7" with 12 pages. The grade of the paper & color printing is really nice. I was sort of impressed with it as a cereal premium. There are 4 books to collect. I got Issue #2, shown here.

Kevin Stark's ADAM WEST 1966 BATMAN Tribute Artwork

A Friend on Facebook yesterday shared this amazing piece of BATMAN Art he did recently & I thought it was decent enough to share ( Ha Ha, just kidding, it's great! ). Actually it's an extremely well done Tribute to ADAM WEST from the 1960's Batman TV Series. This Digital Art was drawn on a Wacom Tablet by our buddy Kevin Stark. The rendering of West's face is dead-on perfect! I like the coloring/shading, the use of the fine black outline, & even that wacky yellow-paisley wallpaper background... GROOVY! Thanks Kevin for sharing your fun artwork.

Tom's Awesome BATMAN AND JOKER Tattoo Art Photo

Check out this extremely cool BATMAN AND JOKER TATTOO Art Photo we got the other night. It was sent in by a Bat-Blog Fan named Tom. This image was inspired by some original black and white art done by Comic Book Artist Jim Lee back in 2007 for a charity auction. It shows one face, half the Dark Knight, half the Clown Prince of Crime. Tom decided it should be "colorized" & then got this tattoo on the back of his left calf. It took a total of about 7 1/2 hours to finish and was done by a Tattoo Artist named Ricky at Body Graphics in Temecula, CA. I gotta say that it's very impressive. Thanks for sharing the fun pics Tom & please let Ricky know he did a great job.

Humor Photo - BATMAN LOVES NACHOS!!

OK, who doesn't LOVE Nachos? Ha! Here's a funny photo we got from our friend Billyman in his cool bat-suit! I guess he got hungry while out fighting crime & decided to hit the local 7-Eleven for nourishment, ha! That 1st photo doesn't show the full costume, and it's pretty amazing, so check out this 2nd shot. I really like the "Yellow Capsule" Bat-Belt & the Bat-Cowl is pretty awesome too. The whole thing is meant to have a RETRO-STYLE look, sort of like the way Batman was in the 1970's. Just think about the comic book artwork of Neal Adams or even the "Super Friends" animated cartoon... AWESOME! Thanks Billyman, YOU ROCK, Sir!

Mauro's Adventure Watching THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Movie Filming in Newark, New Jersey

Check out these fun pics shared by a Bat-Blog Fan named Mauro. He works just a few blocks from where they were filming THE DARK KNIGHT RISE Batman movie and he got some great pics! Mauro wrote,
"Lots of GCPD cars and SWAT TEAM trucks were on the street and I got to see Anne Hathaway briefly with Christian Bale. They were shooting their scenes underground in Newark's really nice tunnel system, inside the subway. Most of the above street area has been converted to "Gotham City Transit System" Subway Stops and there were about 100 Cops all over the place in Official GCPD uniforms. It was a lot of fun to see it all set up and I took some pics of with me with the film-prop cars. I also got a photo of Christian Bale walking to his escort car. He was walking pretty fast so I could only get a shot of his back, he was dressed as Bruce Wayne with a black trench coat."
Wow Mauro! Thank you for sharing your fun photos & your story. I gotta admit I am totally JEALOUS! ( Ha Ha! ) But I do appreciate your thinking about the Bat-Blog & these pics are great, that's awesome! I can't wait to see this new Batman movie!

More THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Movie Filming in Newark, New Jersey

The other day we posted some photos here at the BAT-BLOG.COM from our friend & Ace Bat-Reporter BATDAVE. He traveled to where THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Movie was filming in Newark, New Jersey & got some fun pics. Well, Batdave had to leave early but his friend Don stayed behind and he got even more pictures for us ( Thanks Don!! ).



The first one is a very pretty girl expressing her political support for the movie by holding up an "Occupy Gotham City" sign!



Next up is an actual photo of Don. He spotted one of the many "Gotham City Police Department" Movie Prop Vehicles that were up & down the street. I like the expression on his face. To me it says, "Yeah, I'm gonna come back later tonight & STEAL this thing!" ( Ha! Just kiddin' Don! But you know you were thinking that for a few seconds, ha! ) Then we get a great view of one of the GCPD Utility Trucks.



You might remember our previous post where we shared "Fake Signs" that were all over the street making it look like a real Gotham City. Well, here is a Transit Sign of Gotham's Subway System. Wow! What detail!!

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Movie Filming in Newark, New Jersey

The Bat-Blog's Ace Bat-Reporter BatDave shared a few pics with us last night of the BATMAN, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES movie filming in Newark, New Jersey. He didn't catch any Actors running around but that's because they were filming the whole day underground. I guess, down in the Subway System. But, he said the cool thing was that they had turned the Battery Park area into Gotham City! Shown here are some of the fake signs they created. Stuff like, "Gotham Transit Authority" or "Gotham Library"...funny! He also saw this huge crane with lighting equipment. Now, BatDave had to leave, but his friend Don stayed really late and got a photo of himself standing 5 feet away from Gary Oldman! Yes, Jim Gordon! We hope to post that later but for now these "Fake Signs" are pretty great! One last thing, these signs seem like some crazy-insane detailing because, are we even going to actually "see them" in the movie?!
