FREE BAT-BLOG BATMAN and CATWOMAN WALLPAPERS!!

0
0


OK, I just now realized I have not posted any FREE BAT-BLOG BATMAN WALLPAPERS in a very long time so here we GO! I made the first one out of a photo sent in to me from a friend who was sharing his Vintage Batman Toy Collection. 

He had some amazing stuff but this picture was one of my favorites, a 1966 BATMAN TOY Motorcycle Figure from the UK... Oh man, it's so extremely AWESOME!

Then, I recently re-watched BATMAN RETURNS again and it was great to see Michelle Pfeiffer as the CATWOMAN. So, here she is now, MMM-MEOW!

Begging To Learn The Story Behind This Vintage Lifesized Steiff Poodle

0
0

It is so exciting to stumble upon a great Steiff treasure.  But only once in a blue moon does that find also comes with a full history and provenance!  Such was most unexpectedly the case with this recent addition to Steiffgal's hug.  Check out this lifesized Steiff poodle and see what makes him so wonderful from the design - and in this case personal - perspectives.  

This guy's got rock star appeal and knows it!  Here we have Steiff's studio Snobby poodle.  He is in the "begging" position, with a great body shape and realistically curved arms and legs. He is 80 cm and made from grey mohair.  He is head and arm jointed.  His limbs, tail tip, ears, forehead, and nose are made from very long, wavy mohair, while his torso, mouth and muzzle area, and tail are made from short mohair.  He is solidly stuffed with excelsior.  His face comes to life with oversized black and brown pupil eyes, a black hand embroidered nose, an open, peach colored felt mouth with a dimensional felt tongue, and airbrushed highlights.  He wears a great red leather collar.  It is backed in felt, and is adorned with a number of brass colored studs.

One of the things about this item that is both cool and helpful in identifying him is his fully legible yellow ear tag.  This is pictured on the left. On it is hand written:  4380,95.  This translates to: 4=begging, 3=mohair, 80=80 cm tall, 9=display animal, and 5=grey.  This makes perfect sense in describing him.  He is pictured in the Sortiment and also the Steiff catalog in black mohair, but with a different article number, 4439/08.  (You can see the Steiff catalog page below.)  Both of these references date him at 1967.  

So what's up with his numbers? Many studio items from this period have hand written numbers on their yellow ear tags.  And it is possible that his number is different than the one documented in the literature for a number of reasons.  Here are two thoughts.  First, he is indeed a different color than the more documented black version.  And second, Steiff reconfigured their numbering systems several times during the 1960's, his most likely decade of production.  In general, the number "443" on a mid- to late- 1960's item appears to be associated with Steiff's legacy "Snobby the poodle" design.

Catalog from 1967.  Provided by friends at Teddy Dorado!
Steiffgal came upon this poodle online via a heads up from a friend.  With her blessing - and much gratitude - Steiffgal purchased the poodle. It arrived at her home a few days later without incident.  A dozen white washcloths, two bottles of cleaning solution, and two hours of elbow grease later, the poodle was a good as new.  And that should have been the end of the story.  But then something amazing happened.  A few days after receiving Snobby, Steiffgal received an completely unexpected letter lovingly detailing Snobby's entire life story.  It made this incredible find even more meaningful.  

The letter read, in part:

".... he's been a fixture in our house for 40 years. He was originally bought in the late 50's early 60's. He was a gift bought by a very wealthy man.  My parents were caretakers for his estate on the edge of a lake. He was a lawyer and bought the poodle on a working trip to Germany and gave him to his daughter.  

His daughter always had plenty of toys, however, she was never around due to divorce and never played with them. As such he decided to give him to me instead of keeping him.  

I was perhaps 7 years old and made him a fixture in our home by setting him in a central area, decorating him according to holidays during the year. Christmas was garland, tinsel, and other ornaments. Memorial Day was flags, 4th of July was fireworks, unlit of course. Birthday presents on birthdays, Thanksgiving was a turkey hat and a cornucopia. This all changed as I got older, but I held onto him. 

Last year I found him in one of our storage closets looking like he needed a bit of sewing under his collar and a gentle cleaning. 

In short, it is hard to do this, but its time to pass him on to someone who can appreciate him and add their own memories in a happy home. Take good care of him..."

And Steiffgal PROMISES to do just that!

Steiffgal hopes this heated discussion on this Steiff studio poodle welcomes in the dog days of summer for you!

Sabo -5th Anniversary Edition- Figuarts ZERO Figure by Bandai [One Piece]

From Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ comes the Dimensions of Dragon Ball Golden Frieza -Ultimate Evolution Form- non-scale PVC Figure by Megahouse. The D.O.D. Golden Frieza figure was sculpted by Fukuda Takashi and stands approximately 19cm tall. The pose appears to be exactly like the D.O.D. Frieza Final Form Figure that was announced a few weeks back. The only difference being the gold paint job and the tail curling in the opposite direction. The Golden Frieza figure retails for ¥7,344 (including tax and shipping) and will release in September 2015. It is a Premium Bandai and MEGATREASHOP exclusive and pre-orders

MegaHobby Expo 2015 Spring: Revolve

0

Revolve is a company which is still in its infancy (just one release under their belts so far) but their figures are still making small waves by looking rather good and covering titles which other companies don't really cover (mostly).

At MegaHobby Expo they showed off a figure of Tsugumi from Nisekoi. While most figure manufacturers go for Chitoge or Onodera it's nice to see other characters get some figure love. This figure of Tsugumi shows her in a dress and acting rather embarrassed, which is pretty much her character but something you don't see to often, even in the manga. She's actually up for pre-order right now so jump to it if she's someone you want to add to your collection!

After that, we have Alice from Kiniiro Mosaic but we all know the show is all about Karen and her British parka! And rounding things off, we get another look at Liu Li. She's a bit of a weird one. A character from School Shock, a Chinese manga which (I assume) is published in Japan in a similar fashion to Kurokami or Freezing, Liu Li was shown at the last megahobby expo but has gone pretty dark since then. Apparently, it's due for an anime of some sort this year but it's currently MIA. Revolve chose to show her off again and also announce another figure from the title, this time it will be Bai Hwa! She's a character with similar abilities to Liu Li but starts off as an enemy before becoming an ally, sort of. If you want to know more, I recommend tracking down the manga translations. It's really hard to explain!

Like the anime, Liu Li is currently missing in action but hopefully, she'll be up for pre-order soon and we'll get to see how Bai Hwa turns out!

A poster on a Baidu message board has shared several photos showing off Titan Class Devastator, with a particular focus to how it scales with Masterpiece figures. There's also a run through of the individual members, and shots with Fall of Cybertron Metroplex and Armada Unicron for a little more size reference. We knew Devastator was big, but these shots are showing it's also nicely poseable, and surprisingly strong! Click through to check out all the mirrored images.

MegaHobby Expo 2015 Spring: Hobby Japan

0

Hobby Japan often caters to the more salacious crowd, and I'm getting a bit of that from their display at MegaHobby Expo. Unfortunately a lot of these will likely be Hobby Japan exclusives, so actually buying them can be a tricky proposition.

Some highlights:

  • Notable underboob-string wearer Hestia from DanMachi
  • Momohime from Muramasa about to hit the bath, complete with the spirit of Jinkuro beside her
  • KanColle fan-favorite Amatsukaze - another destroyer with striped thigh-highs and turret familiars
  • A re-colored Beelzebub from The Seven Deadly Sins, perhaps invoking Alice in Wonderland
  • Black Magician from Yu-Gi-Oh!
  • A new Asmodeus from The Seven Deadly Sins, laying atop dessert

Maybe it's just me but some of their faces look a bit off. The sculpts look good otherwise, but I'm not into those faces. You can see for yourself by checking out the coverage at Akiba Hobby and Moeyo (some slightly NSFW content at both). Moeyo also has additional galleries for Momohime and Hestia.
