we had a similar collection :D

i love seeing all my old figures on the web, brings back memories.
 
Me too, wow I remember I live in a suburb near Chicago, and I was at Lake Michigan and I lost my Robin action figure by these big rocks near the lake. I was so mad, I spent the whole time trying to find it =[
 
This was one of my first Batman figures lol.

I don't think people under 25 should be allowed to get nostalgic.
 
man!! I can't even find pics on ebay of the action figures and vehicles I use to have.
Of course I had a few of the corgi Barris batmobiles, the Super Powers Batman and batmobile. Also had a couple of the mego figures and the mego Batmobile.
Back in the late 70's early 80's there was a Batman figure that had a string running out of his extended arm. Attatch it to something and it would mechaniclly pull Batman up a wall. Not the spring action of today. This thing took batteries. No articulation justa really cool cloth cape and the extemted arm with the 'batrope' lol. Then came the comics. Man did my perspective of Batman change completely after that.
 
look up 'Batman Vintage" on ebay sometime and see what pops up. Its funny.

My first Batman toy was the Mego Batman and Robin. Still have 'em.

I already have and there was only two pages. Most of which were the B'89 style toys lol. There were a few mego dolls, the mego '66 Batmobile, a superpowers, a captain action, and some wall ornaments.
 
HAHA I had that stupid blue rubber thing as well, what a blast from the past. Had pretty much all the 89 ones, batwing included.
Used to get on my wick when they brought out heat seaking batman etc even when i was little
 
You lucky dog. I think I had one toy out of those when I was a kid. Needless to say, I didn't get many toys as a child...
 
I remember trying to make a cardboard roof for the batmobile, and failing miserably. Why the manufacturers didnt put one on i'll never know.
 
Generation Y doesnt have to wait to feel sad about the past. We have the internet with all the information about fifteen years ago right in front of us. Its easy to get nostalgic.

I miss when Batman Begins came out.

And that old ass bat-rag on a string toy looks gay as hell.
 
you know what i love about all these toys....that they all had specialized drawings to them..i miss that on the new toy box's...

You're right about that. Its like the toy companies cared more about their product back then than they do now. I remember when the B&R figures hit the shelves, it was all the generic cards with just the little inserts in the bubble. The package art was part of the appeal for me. I wish theyd go back to that also.

Yes we can, as long as we're getting nostalgic about Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or Ninja Turtles. Or old Nickelodeon shows.

How dare you mention Power Rangers to us that grew with Voltron, in a Batman thread!
