Halloween Countdown: Monster Cards, Part 1!



So here's a special Halloween Countdown feature which will appear sporadically through the month: Monster Trading Cards! I've been saving what decent photos I could find for a while, holding them in reserve for this month, and it's time to share!

First up, here's some cards from a "blue" set, I don't recall right now who produced 'em:

blue 002 curse of the faceless man
blue 003 gets me right here
blue 007 wheresthatddt
blue 012 i smoke filter tips
blue 013 whos a cabbagehead
blue 017 curse of the mummy
blue 018 like man im tired
blue 021 mad soul
blue 024 phantom of the opera.jpg

More next time!

Cool Stuff: Batman Stuff!

Here's some stuff that may or may not have appeared in the Batcave Trophy Room so far...

First up, here's the Peruvian version of the Ideal board game!

batman_photoplay

Can't really tell you anything about this issue of Photoplay other than Adam West was cover-featured!

batman_quizzmachine2.jpg

This Batman Quizz Machine looks cool, but my understanding is that it wasn't a Batman trivia game... rather it was a Batman-themed game about general knowledge!

batman_radio.jpg

Yes, it's a Batman transistor radio! I think I have a better photo of this in my files somewhere...

batman_record2.JPG

I always enjoy featuring Power Records on this blog! Nice art on those, eh?

batman_robindangler

Here's an interesting vintage Robin dangler! Not much on detail, is it? Then again, I never quite got the appeal of danglers for the most part, anyway...

batman_squirtgun.jpg

Ah, here's an infamous Batman squirt gun... guess nobody really thought about where the trigger was, eh?

batman_superbaby

"Hi! I'm Baby Batman!" No, you're not... you're a blond baby! Bruce Wayne had black hair!

batman_toothbrush.JPG

I'm sure the TV Batman would've heartily approved of this Batman toothbrush!

batman_transogramflying.JPG

This Transogram flying Batman looks really cool, even if Batman shouldn't be made into a flying toy, eh?

batman_tvpresskit.jpg

Here's a tantalizing look at the cover of the TV presskit for Batman!

batman_utilitybelt.JPG

Very cool Utility Belt! Just like the TV one!

batman_watch

I wouldn't have even saved this photo of this silly ring watch if it weren't for that 1970s logo on the package!

Next time: Battle of the Planets and more!
