One of the major recent events for Bat-fans has been the detangling of the many rights issues pertaining to the 1966 BATMAN TV series! The first salvo that signified that the years-long legal thicket was being cleared, was the release of all new die-cast "TV Batmobile" toy cars, from the collector-friendly Hot Wheels folks! Originally designed for the ABC-TV show by car customizer George Barris, this iconic vehicle was eagerly snatched up by fans far and wide, then and now! But, the recently-released beautiful Batmobile came delivered in some very un-beautiful packaging! The remedy? My own custom packages on which to display the Dynamic Duo's die-cast deity! Feast your eyes on my own eye-popping presentations below! Click images to enlarge!
Above: An example of the deadly-dull packaging in which the long-awaited Batmobiles were presented! |
Above: I used the captivating cover to 1968's BATMAN #200 (by Neal Adams) as the basis for this one pop-art package! Add a re-closeable "clamshell," and a dynamic display is ready! |
Above: I always loved this image of actor Adam West as the Caped Crusader, and here it is (along with added logos and graphics) used as a custom card! |
Above: Another great Adam West BATMAN pose, this time I used an "alternate image" from the famed 1966 TV GUIDE cover photo shoot from the show! Here is another use of this wonderful action shot! |
Above: Using the cover to a sensational '67 coloring book, here is a fabulous custom Batmobile display! Sure, that's actually the Batboat the Dynamic Duo is piloting there, but... |
