Art:

Batman poster/lithograph by John Taylor Dismukes. Circa 1990, Zanart Publishing. Gorgeous 24"x36" heavy stock poster (some say lithograph) of the comic book version Batman with blue and gray costume, crashing through a window. It has a couple thumbed spots with tiny tears on side edges, but those will frame out easily. It also has some "foxing" spots in the upper third, but sand grain size, spread out, and you don't see them unless it's glinted (looks fine straight on), and they don't affect or show color. Image area is otherwise smooth. It was $19.95 new. CLEARANCE! NOW JUST $5 (but NO RETURN on it). (View generic pic)

Daffy Duck's Quackbusters movie one-sheet poster. An original, not a reprint, for the Warner Brothers video movie from 1988. 27"x40". Has some minor very light handling kinks sprinkled throughout, which you won't see on the wall. Most places are asking $9.95-24.99 for it, plus high shipping...$8 (View)

1991 Hallmark Looney Tunes calendar. (Hallmark stores exclusive.) Beautiful, glossy, cel-like images, taken from the cartoons, with all your favorite characters. Heavy stock paper, full page art on top half. Spiral bound, about 11.5"x11.5". Folks, you could remove the art part and frame them, and they'd almost pass for animation cels! You could not buy prints like this in a poster or art store for $1.66 each! This is one high quality calendar, and I have more than one, in case you want one intact and one to dismantle and do the kids room with, or the office walls. Has comments by the late Chuck Jones. Jan. page has some light black streaks around Buzzard's feet due to printing plate smear, they all have it on that 1 page (View). 3 available...$20 ea. (View front & Feb.)

1996 Hallmark Looney Tunes calendar. (Hallmark stores exclusive.) Non-gloss finish on this one, but still great images from the cartoons, w/full page art on top half, spiral bound, and heavy stock paper, about 11.5"x11.5". Has comments by Jerry Beck...$12 (View front & Feb)

Batman collectibles:

(Batman comics are on the DC comics page, and DC Direct Batman and other statues are on the Statues page. See Art section above for Batman art too.)

1989 Batman cereal with Batman bust bank. By Ralston, 14 oz, still sealed with bat-shaped cereal (do NOT eat the cereal!). 7" tall hard plastic coin bank is shrinkwrapped on the outside, and is the Michael Keaton version. Box is excellent, but has some inward bowing in the front due to shrinkwrap pull, but normal after all these years. Front top corners show a little bend creasing. Has a short bio of Batman on side panel. One toy guide has just the bank at $20, but that's a joke. Some auction sellers claim it's "rare", but it's not. Sale! 50% off! Was $10, now...$5 (View)

Batman die cast/diecast metal & plastic Mego action figure. Semi-rare 1979 5.5" figure, with metal body, plastic legs and arms, stock #91503. NM- in very nice box. Articulated at shoulders, elbows, waist, legs, knees and feet. Box has punched out hanger hole, so "Die" is missing where it says "Die Cast." Box is clean, bright, no major defects. A couple light vertical paper wrinkles near hanger hole, and a series of them at lower left slanted part of window box, about a 3/4" wide area, and 1.75" or shorter wrinkles. 3/8" printing crease below stock number. No price sticker, no peels. One minor 1/4" slight tear on back, left edge, where card and window box meet. Back has the usual horizontal wrinkle line across it at dividing line of card/window box. Window has usual shelfwear scuffs and fine scratches, but not bad at all, and find one that doesn't have that. Has a vertical outward dent/bend line in upper left too, but barely shows. Worst thing is where the part of Batman's cape overlaps window--that tip of cardboard has multiple creases in it, for about 3/8", but no tears, and structurally sound. Little spot of edge curl at bottom/left of window. Original rubber bands that held figure have been replaced by twisty ties, as most have by now, as the rubber bands rot, so it has been removed from the box a couple times, so there'll be some wear on edges of tuck-in flaps. ("Holy mess-up-the-value Batman!" Not.) Figure appears unplayed with, but hard to know. There's a very thin/light darkish gray line on his left pec, could be from factory handling, as there's some extremely light blue streaks near it too. One tiny darkish spot on his right ribcage too, could be paint scratch. And a couple TINY blue spots on stomach from factory sloppiness, and maybe a tiny darkish spot or two here and there, but probably none of these are perfect. Possibly could be cleaned if you know what you're doing, but I don't recommend it. From a foot away you can't see this stuff. There's some tiny bits of leftover rubber band residue in his armpits, but hardly worth bothering with. Factory paint job wasn't perfect--left glove top edge is uneven, with bit of gray paint spot on blue glove, and couple blue spots on gray arm. Also a spot of blue on his left knee in gray part above boot. Inside mounting card has little peel spot in upper left corner with couple rubber band residue spots, and one above/right of Batman's head, but you don't see these with box closed. One bit of rubber band residue on card behind his right shoulder, but mostly blocked by him straight on. Looks much better than all that sounds, trust me, these are hard to find in this nice a condition. Saw one go for $200 on an auction site, "100% mint in mint box", and have seen several others in lesser condition than mine sell for at or more than I'm asking. Pics are of mine. Reduced! Was $120, now...$110 (View front & back) (View close-up of glove/knee paint)

SPECIAL DEAL: Get both Batman and Spider-Man Megos for $200!

Batman basketball - Nice mail-in item exclusively from Willy Wonka/Nerds candy (or is it Nerdz?), around 1997. Full color Batman on one side, Bat symbol on the other, regulation size. Came deflated in a candy display box, no paperwork, have stored it that way, so it's never been inflated or used, and is in as new condition. (Pic shows one inflated, but it's not one of mine.) Not the same as the ones sold at Six Flags either, and much rarer...$20 (View)

Batman WB beanbag/bean bag - 1998 Warner Bros Stores. Based on the Animated Series version. Have 2, as new, with attached tags. (See the rest of my WB beanbags list in next section.) Still at original price...$7 ea. (View all my WB beanbags)

Batman black flying disc, with yellow Bat symbol, from 1989/'90. (Not technically a "Frisbee," since it's not made by Wham-O, which introduced Frisbees commercially in 1964.) To clear up any confusion from bad info you may see in auctions, the copyright date of 1940 on it refers to the Bat Symbol copyright date, not the year this disc was produced, ok? They didn't make Frisbees in 1940, duh! Loose as it came, unused, but has normal handling scuffs from distribution/store handling...$4 (View)

1998 Batman Harley Quinn 12" action figure/doll, from Batman Animated series, by Hasbro, M.I.B.. Comes with 2 hyenas too. (It's really 11" tall, but most call it a 12" doll.) Originally an internet exclusive, then sold through Diamond Comics Dist. to comic shops also, and apparently other places even later. Was $24.95 on Hasbro's site, Diamond said $29.95. Long sold out from Hasbro. Box has one has small mush spot on back near top edge, otherwise near mint. Would like what it cost me through Diamond/Comic shop...$22.50 (View)

Batman Mask of the Phantasm pop-up booklet. A large 13.5"x13.5" rare promotional item given to TV stations to promote the 1993 animated movie's video release. Inside has two double page pop-ups featuring Gotham City. The first one shows a Gotham cityscape with pics of various Batman vehicles, and a swing-out plastic arm with Batman on the end. The second one has a 16" standing Batman pop-up figure atop a building, with various action shots vs. his villains from the animated series. Last page is a double page shot of another Gotham cityscape, but no pop-ups. In nice, but not perfect condition. Someone with greasy fingers left fingerprints on the front cover, most are down the right side, some also in upper left, and they don't wipe off. The pic shows them as the little darker spots. Top right corner has about a 2.5" wrinkle line from a bend, and there's 1/2" stress wrinkle on spine, and slight wear on some corners. Also comes with a 6 page 9"x12" informational advertising flyer that tells about Fox's promotion for the release of the VHS tape, and a digest size copy of the comic book adaptation, with no cover price. I got all this way back then, from a guy who worked at a TV station, and he had sold his best copies for $50-$100 at that time, and this was the last one he had. Larger pics available too. You may never see this again, so get it now, for...$50 (View set)

Batman Pez dispenser, 1985 copyright. Medium blue, with feet, short ears, 2 packs of Pez, Wonder Woman pictured on package too, made in Austria, 3.942.683 patent number. Mint on card, corners of card have slight dings, top side of bubble is pushed in some. These are NOT rare, they made millions of them for several years, so don't believe the B.S. auction sellers who claim it's rare. And why are people paying $3 or more for loose ones, plus $3-$6 shipping? Pic is of mine...$4 (View)

DC Heroes Zero Hour promo clock, 1994, made by CMI. 10.25" x 10.25" square plastic body, with 13 DC Super-Heroes, including Superman, Superboy, Batman, Robin, Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner), Spectre, Starman, Red Tornado, Darkstar, Andromeda, Vril Dox II, Manhunter, and The Ray. Takes 1 AA battery, included for a change! This was only handed out at the Diamond Retailer Seminars that year. We were told they were giving these away because some marketing or licensing decision cancelled plans to sell them through the comics distributor, but they had already had a batch made up, so since they weren't allowed to sell them, they gave them to retailers attending the seminars. I don't remember exactly how many they said they had made, but I believe it was around 1000-1500, so I don't think they had enough for all retailers at all the seminars. Comes in plain white box, and is unused NM/M. Not an expensively constructed item, but it's rarity makes it worthwhile to collect. Scan is of mine, and cropped some, as it wouldn't all fit on the bed. Will include the Zero Hour Preview comic from Wizard too. Considering an 8" mass produced LeClock Batman clock from 1989 will sell for $20 (which was retail when new), this should be going for many times that, but I'll try...$30 (View)

Beanbag/Bean Bag/Plush toys:
View all my WB beanbags

(Can't call them "beanies," as that's a trademark of Ty Inc., and these aren't by Ty.) All of mine are beanbags, and are Batman, Looney Tunes, and Hanna-Barbera characters. All are from the WB Store or catalog, and 1998 releases, except for '99 Tweety in skeleton costume. They range from about 8" to 10" tall. All are as new, with attached tags and hangers, from smoke free home. I'm not a tag freak, and some will have bends on them, so if you're a tag condition freak, let me know and I'll tell you the tag condition. It's only about $2.36 to mail one (some weigh more than others though), so factor that in against the $5-$7 auction and other sellers charge. Pics are of mine. All are at original price, $7 each, or 3 for $18:
Batman The Animated Series version, have 2. (View)
Marvin Martian's dog K-9 as a reindeer. (View)
Scooby Doo in Nutcracker costume. A WB catalog exclusive. Vinyl shoulder epaulets have curled up on ends, which is common. Has the 'SD' collar tag too, but doesn't show in pic. Have 2. (View)

Cereal premiums, mail-ins, and misc. stuff:

Bugs Bunny 50th Birthday glass (1990 Shell gas station premium, for Bugs' 50th birthday/anniversary). 6" tall, 2.5" diameter, unused. Back has black ink drawings of the rest of the Looney Tunes gang (Yosemite Sam, Tweety, Sylvester, Porky Pig, Wile E. Coyote, Road Runner, and Daffy Duck).

Flintstones Flintmobile car, by Hot Wheels, mint on cards, a Pebbles Bedrock Shop exclusive mail-in from 1995 or so. Changes color when dipped in water. Have 2, cards are decent to very nice, but not near mint due to the way they were packaged for mailing. Lots of places asking $10-$15, and high shipping (it's around $2 first class in a box folks, so why are you getting hit for, and paying, $4-$6 shipping on auctions and other places?), but mine are only...$4 ea.

Justice League America lenticular promo button, RARE. Only handed out at the Diamond Comics Dist. Retailer seminars in 1992, which is when I got it, so never mass produced or distributed. 2-channel image, with the Justice League America title changing to a pic of the 6 member team, featuring Superman in the middle, and the phrase "The World's Greatest Heroes are Back" around the bottom. Round 2.25" diameter, pinback. Very few made compared to most promo buttons, rarely shows up for sale. Considering what people have paid for the multi-thousand produced Watchmen bloody Smiley Face promo button that all comic shops got, and for 10,000 made cloisonne emblem pins (Superman, Batman, Green Lantern from early '90s, up to $60!), this should be ridiculously expensive due to rarity! But for you...$10 (View)

Warner Bros Studio Store/Gallery Items:

These items are from the Warner Bros stores or catalogs, and some are WB Gallery only items. All are as new in original boxes, never displayed.

Batman #1 1940 cover 3-D wall sculpture/statue, #30/250. Rare! Made in 1995 exclusively for the Warner Bros Studio Stores galleries, and not all stores got them due to the limitation. It's a hand painted 3D cold-cast resin sculpture of the cover of the 1940 Batman #1 comic, with full 3D figures of Batman & Robin swinging out at you, very cool! About 19"h x 15"w x 5.5"d, encased in a Plexiglas box that's screwed to a wood frame at the back. Includes a matching number certificate of authenticity from Warner Bros.. Bought new at the Tampa/Brandon FL. WB store in 1996, and it sold out at the stores in a few months. These are very rarely on the market. In the late '90's or so a big time collectibles seller running an auction for one in the Comic Buyer's Guide said they "usually went for multiples of list price" whenever they had one, but I never found out what that last 1 sold for. List price was $550, plus tax. So "multiples of list price" would put it at $1100 or higher. This was the first comic cover one they did, followed by the Batman #4 one, which was cheaper due to decreased costs. If people are still paying $300-$600+ for the 5,555 made Randy Bowen "nuthin' but cape and a head on gargoyle" Batman statue, that's for sale every week somewhere, and the same for the first WB Gallery Batman animated maquette they did 2500 of, shouldn't this be going for many times that, with only 250 made (so 10 to 22 times fewer made than those other two)? Certainly there has to be more than 250 Golden Age fan Batman collectors who would like this rare piece, even for a 4 figure price. If you can pay thousands of dollars for coverless or low grade Batman #1 comics, which are for sale regularly, surely a statue of that cover that there's only 250 of (plus 25 artists proofs) should be worth a good bit! I want...$1000, includes shipping/insurance. (View) (View certificate)

Justice League & Looney Tunes Plates:
(View all my WB plates here)

All plates are as new, with boxes, certificates, and stands, if they came that way, unless noted. Some of the JLA box lids have split a little on the top side edges, due to stacking pressure I guess. Have taped them on the inside.

I have 1 left of the Ross JLA Christmas plate, and 1 JLA by Glen Orbik. Ross's plates quickly became highly sought after, and sold out fast, and command multiples of the original retail price now. The Christmas plate features the '60's/'70's era Justice League at a Christmas party, and was the last JLA plate Ross did for the WB stores before they went out of business, and this plate was sold out before it shipped! Had less than half the size run of the other JLA plates, at 1200, instead of 2500. MANY of this plate were broken in transit to the U.S. or WB stores too, so there's far less than 1200 in existence, so if you need it to complete your Ross or plate collection, here's your chance, and I'm one of the few with these for sale. All JLA plates are large 10" diameter and made of porcelain:

Alex Ross 'Christmas with the Justice League of America' plate #1160/1200, or so it appears. What I think is a 6 and a 0 didn't write completely on the finish, so about 1/4 to 1/2 of each numeral is missing, but 1160 is the best bet by the look of it. That's the only problem worth mentioning, as front is how it's supposed to be...$125 (View)

JLA/Justice League plate by Glen Orbik, #804/2500, made in 2000. Features the modern age JLA. No defects. Another great artist, I really like this plate...$50 (View)

Looney Tunes 1977 Mother's Day plate. Dave Grossman designs, authorized by Warner Bros. (this is NOT a WB Studio Store item of course). Says "First Limited Edition" on the box, but not numbered, or any stated number of firing days. Nice condition original box. About 7 3/4" diameter, porcelain, features Bugs Bunny in the middle, surrounded by head shots of Sylvester, Road Runner, Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety, and Daffy Duck. While mine is "new" as purchased, never displayed by me, it does have some little factory imperfections in the finish, with two pencil tip sized dots of brown fired in, one on top left edge, another below Tweety, and little decal defect in Daffy's bill. And if you look real close, there's some tiny grain-sized "matter", probably dirt specks, fired in also, most are around the outer part and in some of the decals, but likely many plates are like this, and you don't see them unless you're super close up. So it's not perfect, but I doubt many are. Pic is of mine. I think I paid $20 for it in the late '80's at a local collectibles store. Unfortunately for me it seems to be readily available for less, so have reduced it to only...$10 (View)

Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner "Falling Coyote" 3D plate. #1170/2500. From 1998, part of the "In the 3rd Dimension" line. A very cool "3-D" plate, like bas-relief style, where the art is sculpted and raised from the background. CLASSIC shot of Wile E. falling backwards into a canyon, with the Road Runner popping up on the right. More like circular statue dioramas, these are much neater than plain old flat plates in my opinion. Highly detailed, hand-painted, 8" diameter, made of some kind of porcelain, and comes with a wooden stand and matching numbered certificate. Each limited to 2500, and you won't find many, if any for sale on the internet. They were $55 new. No defects. Pic is a SCAN from a WB catalog, so ignore the white marks along bottom. Reduced! Was $100, now...$85 (View)

Other Gallery items:

Wile E. Coyote & Road Runner watch and figurine set, "Guided Muscle." A 1998 Warner Bros Catalog exclusive, not sold in their stores. Only 500 made, making it a rare and very collectible piece! Mine's #149/500. Inspired by the cartoon of the same name, this not only has a nice Fossil watch, but comes with a 7" tall polyresin figurine of Wile E. Coyote (it's not Wiley, Willey, Willy, or Wily folks) attempting to launch himself with a giant slingshot. Has real rubber band too. Comes with certificate and original illustrated box. As part of their "Days Gone By" series, the watched has an antique look, done by the maker, so it has burnishing and staining on the case for that "worn" look, making no two alike. Silver metal case, analog dial with cartoon image similar to the statue/figurine, about 1" wide, with brown leather strap. It was $95 plus not cheap shipping/tax new. Will need new battery. Also have the catalog issue it was offered in. With so few made, these are very hard to find, and I've seen people pay over double on auctions for $65-$75 original price WB Store Coyote/Road Runner watches that weren't even numbered editions and they did thousands of, and what do you think this statue/figurine would sell for now if it had been sold separately and limited to only a couple or so per store, cheaper polyresin or not? Wile E. and the Road Runner are two of the most collected and popular WB characters, so I know there's people out there who want these and never knew they existed, or haven't been able to find one. Pic is of mine. Reduced! Was $300, now...$250 (View whole piece) (View closeup of watch face)

Gallery News newsletters - I have 30 "Gallery News" flyers from 1996-2000. These are 8.5"x11", full color, between 4-8 pages usually, some up to 12 pages, telling you about upcoming merchandise for the Studio Stores Gallery section, like cels, art, statues, plates etc.. They're tri-folded, and are in average used shape to decent condition, with mailing labels or written addresses. Great for research, seeing what you missed, making screensavers or backgrounds from the pics, scrapbooking, collages, decoupage, etc.. Have 26 different, and 4 duplicates: 3 from 1996, 11 from 1997, 3 from 1998, 10 from 1999 including 4 duplicates, 3 from 2000. Get all 30 for...$10 (View a couple)
