Batman: The Animated Series Funko Pop Collection

I've been whittling down my Funko Pop collection over the last 2-3 years. That actually just means I haven't made any new purchases in that amount of time. Hah. Of my 175+ Funko Pops that I've ever owned, though, I definitely intend to keep a few including my entire Batman: The Animated Series collection. These are staying with me!

I sort of waited to "complete" the BTAS Funko Pop collection before sharing, but with the anniversary of BTAS this weekend and Batman Day around the corner, it seemed like a good time to share. With Funko, you also never know when they're going to stop creating more Pops from a certain collection.

See close up pictures below of each of the 17 Pops in my BTAS Funko Pop collection below! From left to right, top to bottom:

• Batman
• Robin
• Batgirl
• Harley Quinn
• Harley Quinn (Diamon Collection, Hot Topic Exclusive)
• Dr. Harleen Quinzel (Pop in a Box Exclusive) - I love everything about this Pop including her glasses, little kitten heels, and hair bun (not pictured)
• Poison Ivy
• Catwoman - She's so cute with the little bullwhip accessory!
• The Joker
• Batman (Robot) - Half android face exposed!
• Batman (Robot, Chase) - Full android face exposed!
• Phantasm - I really like that they included this as part of the collection even though she never appeared in the series, but was introduced in the BTAS movie
• Scarecrow - His hat makes him a really large Pop, but I appreciate the detail
• Bane
• Clayface - This is a big boy of a Pop
• Man Bat (SDCC 2017 Exclusive) - Some of these characters are so cool as Pops because of unique details like Man Bat's wings!
• Mr. Freeze (Legion of Collectors Exclusive) - The helmet alone makes this one my favorite of the bunch. That plastic dome is just so stinking cute.

Looking at this collection just reminds me how much I love the TV series. Not that I'm one to wish for more Funko Pops that I feel I must buy, but if I WERE to add characters to this bunch, I would definitely want Alfred Pennyworth, Ra's al Ghul, and Mad Hatter. At the same time, Commissioner Gordon's trenchcoat and Penguin's stalkiness and umbrella would look pretty cool as Pops. There are still some great characters to add. Which one the BTAS Pops do you like most? And which character would you like to see Funko create for this collection?

Mondo Gallery: Batman 80th Anniversary Exhibit (May 2019)

2019 was so amazing in retrospect. I guess everything looks great compared to 2020, but 2019 was especially great because of all the travel I got to experience. Also, it was Batman's 80th Anniversary so I got to experience ALL of the Batman things like the Mondo exhibit for Batman's 80th Anniversary.

I'm sorry I'm sharing this content SO LATE, but I knew I'd get around to it eventually. It only took a pandemic. Hah... geeze, I can't wait for all of this to be over.

Anyway, check out pictures below of the artwork that was on display . This was in May 2019 (I know, I know). I actually enjoyed the Batman75th Anniversary Mondo exhibit better. I didn't make any purchases at their 80th Anniversary exhibit, but it was still 100% worth the trip. I was REALLY close to purchasing the artwork for A Death In the Family because it's such an iconic moment in comic book history. I was being judicious, though, because I still have so many pieces of art (including several from Mondo) that I've yet to frame and display. What is art if not to show off, right? Also a note, I visited on the last day of the exhibit so it was pretty quiet and some of the pieces were actually already sold out.

Browse below and let me know what your favorites are!

Speaking of Mondo, did you guys catch any of their Comic-Con/SDCC2020 releases? I grabbed a copy of the Batman: The Animated Series 8XLP Box Set - Volume 2. I can't wait to share it with you once I have it in my hands come October. 

Batman x Achieve (Rooster Teeth) Collection (Batman 80th Anniversary)

I have a ton of content from Batman's 80th Anniversary last year that I never got to posting, but shelter-in-place gives you that opportunity to get around to stuff you never got around to so here we are!

I'm finally sharing the items I bought from the Batman x Achieve (Rooster Teeth) collection that came out last year for Batman's 80th Anniversary. These items actually came out soon after the other Batman x Rooster Teeth items that I posted in November.

First, the hat! I needed a solid, everyday black hat and this hat was perfect with the simple logo in the front and yellow patch in the back.

The sweater is HEFTY. It's probably the heaviest, thickest hoodie I have in the house and perfect for cold nights.

Finally, the long sleeve shirt is my most worn item.

...

Well, I mean I guess it was when I was still going out in public. I probably wear the hoodie more now that we're at home all the time. 😀 

Check out the design details below. I think the lat/long coordinates are New York. 🤔  If anyone has any insight into the lat/long values, feel free to sound off in the comments.

If you're interested in seeing what the other items in the collection look like, check out this article: https://www.cbr.com/rooster-teeth-batman-clothing-line-announcement/.  I loved a lot of the other shirts, but I don't wear t-shirts often since they don't fit great on me so I couldn't justify buying more. If you're interested, though, the hat along with another shirt (that I don't own) are still available on their website.

Converse x Batman Collection (Batman 80th Anniversary)

Did you get your pair of Batman Chucks from their 80th Anniversary Collection? Check it out here.

I bought my favorite pair in the collection, the all over Batman symbol print. The print features logos throughout the years, which makes it a great set to have for Batman's 80th Anniversary this year. This one even comes in kids' sizes so I bought one for my friend's 3-year-old son. I couldn't resist because they're so stinkin' cute (both the shoes and my friend's son) and it was his birthday so it was just a good excuse to buy more Batman things.

Check out more photos of my shoes below and the clean box it came in. I love the "80" on the back of the right shoe and the Batman 80th Anniversary logo on the inside sole. Let me know which of the Batman Converses on their site are your favorite!

I love #Batman80, so much amazing Batman stuff on the market. But I'm not sure my wallet is much of a fan. #LongLivetheBat
