Vintage 1960's OFFICIAL BATMAN TV SHOW Character Rings - Gumball Vending Machine Header Cards

The real main focus of the Bat-Blog is to share the love of collecting all the cool Batman Toys, especially the Vintage Memorabilia! Here are a few examples of some Gumball Machine Header Cards featuring OFFICIAL BATMAN Character Rings. They were made by the Lawson Novelty Company in 1966. It looks like these rings were made out of rubber & there were 4 to collect. Two of them are sort of a Bust of Batman and Robin. The other two look like a Batmobile Car & Bat-Symbol Logo...awesome! These cards were what you would have seen inside the Gumball Machine to advertise the prize you could get. I don't remember seeing these as a little kid but I know I would have gone totally batty wanting one, ha ha! In fact, I would totally love to have these now! ( Thanks to Jimmy for sending the cool pics ).

BATMAN Promotional Food Products...From Egypt!!

OK, I gotta say upfront that this is a post I am very proud of. You see, I just recently got an e-mail from a Batman Fan who lives in Egypt! Yes, EGYPT...How cool is that?! Her name is Myret & she says she has loved the Dark Knight since she was around 9 years old. She is now 23. She was also kind enough to send some great photos of a few pieces of Batman-related merchandise she has found in her country. The 1st two photos relate to a Batman Food Product called "Halwani FUN Sausages". They are a Meat Snack & the box says, "They're Ready To Eat!" She said that as a free premium inside you get the Set of Batman Playing Cards that are shown in the 2nd picture. WOW, a whole deck! The last photo shows 2 Bags of Potato Chips that she said are a lot like ( American ) Cheetos. Now, their special premium prize were some Batman & Robin ( comic book version ) Puzzle Playing Pieces. I guess if you collect them all they make a neat image...WOW! Thank you so very much Myret for taking the time to shoot these nice pics. I really appreciate you sending them. These unusual pieces of Bat-Memorabilia are really GREAT!!
