Mardi-Bat 2022

 Having been a collector for so many years, I seldom find anything "in the wild" that interests me. However, that happened a few days ago at my local Tom Thumb grocery store. I looked down and there- nowhere near the actual display- was this...


Yep, the brand new "TV Series" Batmobile! As you can see, this run is a bit...uh...different. 

I've never thought of Batman as a Gold and Purple kinda guy, but someone at Mattel did. I think it looks perfect for Mardi Gras, so who am I to judge. I snatched it up, not sure if I loved it or hated it. 

I'm still not sure- but there is a demand for them. They go on the secondary market for about 10 times what I paid (10-20 bucks). So I'll hang onto it. Although I can't get the picture of a gold lame clad Batman jumping out of it out of my head. Wrong. Just...wrong.

Until next time, keep searching for treasure!

    I recall Robin wearing yellow tights in the TV series — so I guess Batman can wear gold lamé.

    It’s funny, Stu, but I now ALWAYS think of you when I’m in an antique mall and see Hot Wheels, etc.

    Thanks for sharing!

      I guess you're right about Robin!
      It's nice to be thought about! Thanks! ;-)

      A gold Batmobile... WHY? I can't say I hate it though. It's sort of a "bizarro world" version, and I'd take a whole set of various colors.

      All pastels! I'd buy it!
