This begs the question: When future archaeologists find all these un-decayed little plastic men (especially ones like this), what will they think of us?  C. |

One of the areas where I think of myself as a bit knowledgeable in is foreign-released Batman stuff. I have tons of foreign batman figures. (foreign to the US anyway) About 5 years ago - tons of South American individuals started churning out these 'rare' and weird bootlegs.
There have beebn regular bootlegged figures coming out for years of Batman stuff but these were new, as they were using existing older 60's figures and just poorly adding bat ears and stuff to them and recasting them and pretending they were both rare AND old.
I've collected tons of odd Bat items in my day and seen many weired bootlegs, may of which I like more than a lot of 'real' releases.
I know this dealer and have watched him and 4 others unload piles of recently made "old" bat bootlegs. There are a ton of very small one-man shops south of the border who make stuff out of this bad pot-plastic. I'll try to find some pics of the wackiest ones to share.

Good luck getting wackier then this one.  This figure looks like it was rescued from a house fire. Will |

Scot-
I am really fascinated by bootlegs. Especially the ones that are so way off base as to be hysterical or the ones that are so nice that you wonder why the real releases can't compare.
Couldn't you, please, post some pictures of some of your favorite bootleg Batman toys? I would love to see them!

Looks like Invisible-Batman to me.
