Now YOU can smell like Batman !!!

 ...... with BATMAN BODY SPRAY !!!!!

This is was of my son's extra Christmas presents this year and every time I see it I crack up.

 

One, cause it reminds me on those weird little presents that fill the gaps ..... I remember getting a Magnum PI wallet one year. I never watched the show and my brothers ragged on me like crazy about it, but it was a present and I made it work !!

 

Two, the body spray here has a faint soapy scent. I would have thought that Batman smelled like Guano and sweat mixed together .......

Its Pocket Super Heroes Batman nanananannananana!!

In 1979 and 80 Mego produced 3 3/4 versions of everybody's favorite superheroes! Batman was one of the first and WHO didn't have this guy ?!?!

This was a great way to have Batman swoop down, kick Vader in the colostomy bag and run off with Scarlett !! When toy manufacturers started to adopt the 3 3/4 size it was great could you could crossover some of your favorite characters !!

This Batman has a really interesting feature....

 HIS HEAD IS REMOVABLE !! That'll freak out the badguys !!

The best thing is that as a young growing boy he made me feel comfortable with myself...

If Batman could live with that.....unfortunate pose.....well....I could deal with anything :)

OK, Bats...you don't have to flaunt it !!

Official Lidded BATMAN BEER STEIN !!!!

Gotta different kind of toy post today......

The Official Batman and Robin Beer Stein !!

The coolness starts at the top!

The lid features a cool pewter Batman surveying Gotham!

One side shows Batman responding to the Bat signal!!

The other side is Robin strikin a pose in a full moon !!!

Really....Batman....BEER....why not put em together !!!!

Truly a cool way for any BatGeek to hoist a few!!!

NANANANANANANANA.....Mego Batman!!!

There are many like it but this one is mine, Mego Batman!

Anyone who grew up having there figures will tell you that you cant beat what Mego figures did for the imagination. The articulation and detail that went into em are outstanding, but not over done like the stuff being pumped out today.

Batman had many variations but this standard version is great. At 8 inches tall it was perfect to act out any scenario that you could imagine. Of course the first thing that got lost are the gloves, they added nothing to the playability and really got in the way of any play. Blue painted hands would have been a better alternative but cost probably had something to do with that. The suit is durable and could be washed if dirty. I gotta admit; I learned how to sew by fixing split seams from a tough battle and sewing on the clasps that might have fallen off the back of this uniform.The removable utility belt had enough detail where you could imagine anything spawning from there to help the Caped Crusader in his fight against evil. The style, detail and character this figure has lends to play and imagination. If you happen to get Robin and a Batmobile.....the Joker didn't stand a chance !! I remember once Ponch and Jon pulled old Bats over for speeding, lets just say it didn't go over well :)

All in all, Mego produced a Batman figure that could stand up to a young boys adventures but would be capable of repair in case of any damage. This toy is so durable that some decades later he can still party with the best of em :)

Cheers !!
