THE CRUNCHY CRUSADER

Arto sent me this message last month: 

"Here's my latest Batman find, a Hahne Batman cornflakes container from 1989 - a tie-in with the Tim Burton Batman movie. Quite impressive at 32 cm in height.

I thought these would be common and sold massively in Western Germany where Hahne cornflakes were manufactured. To my surprise this container seems to be a scarce occurrence, at least on the internet.

The sticker on the back has text only in Finnish and in Swedish, which would suggest this was aimed for the Finnish market only. However, that would seem quite unlikely as the market is fairly limited for such a special product."

What do you think readers?
