Brand-New BATMAN TOYS in Stores Now!!
The cool thing about this post is all these photos were submitted by Bat-Blog Readers, awesome! But basically, here are a few pieces of brand-new BATMAN Merchandise that are in stores now. The 1st pic might seem familiar, this is a new BATMAN Hot Wheels Ballistiks Toy Car made by Mattel. Last month or so they came out with some of these that were Batman ( black color version ) and Bane. They were inspired by THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie. This new one is the classic "Blue/Grey/Yellow" color combination that you see in the older comic books.
Next up is a pic from a Friend on Facebook. He saw this new BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Toy Vehicle Set and thought Bat-Blog Fans might enjoy seeing it. He's right, this thing is pretty cool. This boxed set includes 3 Batman Vehicles: The Treadator, Batcycle, and Attack Copter. The weird thing is that none of these actually appeared in the movie. But, on their own, they're kinda neat. They're also a TARGET Store Exclusive.
Next up is a Batman Figure ( also a Target Exclusive ) that has a "Halloween Holiday" theme. It's crazy!! Now I know there are a ton of collectors out there who collect Halloween items so this should sell easily to them too. Personally, I like the Jack O'Lantern Pumpkin Graphics, a lot! So, have YOU seen any new batman products worth mentioning? If so then please let us know. Remember, the Bat-Blog is all about the joys of collecting bat-stuff and sharing the love of the hobby.

World's stupidest animals up for dubious award
Unfortunate and stupid pets who've done dumb things like eat more than 100 rocks and chase a fly onto a hot wood stove are in the running for a 'prestigious' prize.
A US insurance firm is looking for an animal to award their Hambone award to, for the most unusual claim of the year -- and they have plenty to pick from.
The 12 pet shortlisted for the title -- named after the inaugural winner, a dog who ate an entire Thanksgiving ham while stuck in a refrigerator -- all made full recoveries and received insurance reimbursements for their daft accidents
Previous winners include Labrador retriever who gobbled up an entire beehive and a bulldog who swallowed 15 baby pacifiers, a bottle cap and piece of a basketball.
The shortlist:A US insurance firm is looking for an animal to award their Hambone award to, for the most unusual claim of the year -- and they have plenty to pick from.
The 12 pet shortlisted for the title -- named after the inaugural winner, a dog who ate an entire Thanksgiving ham while stuck in a refrigerator -- all made full recoveries and received insurance reimbursements for their daft accidents
Previous winners include Labrador retriever who gobbled up an entire beehive and a bulldog who swallowed 15 baby pacifiers, a bottle cap and piece of a basketball.
The shortlist:
July 2016 – Sadie the golden retriever (St. Petersburg, Fla.). A casual stroll through the neighborhood proved “otter” than most when Sadie was surprised (and bitten) by a feisty river-dweller.
August 2016 – Balboa the pug (Metairie, La.). Balboa might save curiosity for the cats after an encounter with a venomous bug left him with corneal ulcers in both eyes.
September 2016 – Moose the English mastiff (Green Valley, Ariz.). Moose’s already massive head nearly doubled in size after being kicked in the noggin by a defensive mule.
October 2016 – Howie the toy poodle (Monroe, N.Y.). This troublesome pup racked up more than 15 visits to the veterinarian before his first birthday. If that seems hard to swallow, try being Howie, for whom one of those trips was to remove an acorn lodged in his windpipe.
November 2016 – Tobey the Labrador retriever (Charlotte, N.C.). Some might say that Tobey has a bit of a drinking problem, especially after a play date with the sprinkler sent this waterlogged Lab to the veterinarian.
December 2016 – Gus the Labrador retriever (Cottage Grove, Wis.). A little over-eating always happens during the holidays, but five pounds of cookies in one sitting is excessive for any stomach. Gus learned the hard way that devouring one-eighth of your body weight impacts more than just the scale.
January 2011 – Chico the Chihuahua (Crystal Lake, Ill.). This 4-pound Chihuahua found himself caught in the middle when a Great Horned Owl challenged his owner to a game of tug of war using Chico’s leash.
February 2011 – Teuer the Jack Russell terrier (Mount Pleasant, Mich.). After a failed attempt to dive under a closing garage door, Teuer has given up his dream of becoming a stunt double for Indiana Jones.
March 2011 – Eddy the domestic shorthair (Belmont, Mass.). A housefly chase turned into a heated pursuit when Eddy leapt in the air and landed on top of a hot wood stove, burning all four paws in the process.
April 2011 – Stella Artois the Labrador retriever (Ramsey, N.J.). While a healthy serving of vegetables is generally encouraged, Stella learned there are exceptions to every rule. This pup’s dumpster dive for green beans left her with a tin can lodged firmly on her jaw.
May 2011 – Harley the dachshund (Ventura, Calif.). Snack time in the sunshine was no picnic for Harley when a stubborn seagull swooped in to steal his meal and wreak havoc.
June 2011 – Harley the pug (Manville, R.I.). Harley’s eyes may have been bigger than his stomach, but not much bigger than the 100 rocks he ingested while his owner was away.
July 2016 – Sadie the golden retriever (St. Petersburg, Fla.). A casual stroll through the neighborhood proved “otter” than most when Sadie was surprised (and bitten) by a feisty river-dweller.
August 2016 – Balboa the pug (Metairie, La.). Balboa might save curiosity for the cats after an encounter with a venomous bug left him with corneal ulcers in both eyes.
