This was on eBay the other night & I thought it was too cool NOT to post! This is the Original Production Art for the Batman ( Dark Knight Collection, not the last movie ) "Blast Shield"Action Figure made by Kenner. This was a "boxed item" that came out, I think, in 1991. I remember when it was in the stores & I thought the box concept was kinda cool. But even cooler is this original artwork by Dick Giordano because he's such a Comic Book Artist Legend! I would totally love to have this & Christmas is coming up, hint, hint.
I recently got a message from a guy named Steve who is searching for a piece of his childhood. Well, he's looking for a Batman Rain Coat that he had as a kid in the 1970's. He wrote me to see if I had any information but I have never seen this bat-product before. The cool thing, he made these 2 awesome drawings to represent what he's looking for. Yeah, he got into heavy detail here, ha! the Coat was made out of Heavy Black Latex Rubber & was sort of like a Poncho. It had a Bat-Cowl Hood with a Clear-Plastic Visor. On the back was a Large BATMAN Logo ( 1970's Style ) inside a Yellow Oval-Shape. So, has anybody ever seen this thing? If so then please let us know. Thanks.
Here's a quick post to share a few pics of some brand-new pieces of BATMAN Merchandise and Collectibles coming out soon. What ever YOU call these things: Water Globes, Snow Domes ( I prefer "Snow Globes" ) these are pretty cool! Westland Gifts is set to come out with these & they look kinda fun. 
The ones of the Dynamic Duo will retail for around $20 each and the 2nd BATMAN one ( 3rd photo ) will be about $35. I'm not sure yet why that one costs more; but I'm guessing it will probably have a music box built into it or something. They all measure about 2 1/2-inches in diameter. Look for these to hit stores around November 2012.
