The third Saturday in September has been designated Batman Day and I almost forgot about it! Earlier this week, I had framed my profile pic in the Bat-Signal and here's what it looks like:
Other than that, I'd neglected to do anything batty today until I recalled the date. (I blame the Mad Hatter!) So what I've done is just look around my room without digging through boxes or cupboards and see what Bat-paraphernalia I have sitting around. First up are some Bobbleheads that forewarn me of impending earthquakes.
I have yet to try and assemble this Brickhead, I'm afraid of losing some pieces in the process.
What follows are a few figures I've acquired over the last few years.
Without picking up the display case and jostling my Batmobiles, I've taken a picture from afar.
Unbelievably, the only Funko I have of Batman!
When I was home last spring, I emptied out my storage locker and sold 20 boxes of books. I managed to salvage this novelization.
Not as quite good as Ninja Batman, Samurai Batman runs a close second.
I scored this Big-Little Book-sized book of Detective Comics covers and decided to crack it open.
My favourite ally/foe of Batman is Manbat so I chose 5 Neal Adams covers featuring our Chiropteran friend.
For a serious discussion on Manbat, I suggest you watch this:
In honour of my friend Yvonne who I nicknamed Batgirl, here is her debut.
Finally, my proudest possession is this autographed photo by Adam West!
I've put out a request of my Tokyo pals to try and take a photo of the Bat-Signal as it shines on Shibuya 109, I hope I get some responses. Check out this list for the Bat-Signal nearest you.
REVISION:
I managed to find a pic on the net of the Bat-Signal and here is a link to a countdown to the turn-on!

See? Dragons!
Without photographing anything new (and I have tons of catching up to do), I don't have much to show off tonight.
These are some leftovers from my Tokyo trip. While hunting for new goodies, I found a Capsule machine that sold 竜の落とし子 or Seahorses. I was really hoping for a SeaDragon but only got a couple of lame Horsies. I didn't even get the keychain ones. Oh well. If I can find my Aquaman figure, he now has a steed!
On the plus side of my Capsule-quest, I came across some 怪物くん (Kaibutsu-kun) figures and I got the best one on my first try, so I gave up. It's the villainous ドクターノオ Doctor No! I really think James Bond would have been defeated by this guy!
I saw this set behind glass but alas it was not for sale! Someday...
