It all came together in a perfect cartoon vision of Gotham. I particular;y loved the scene where the Joker climbs the museum stairs towards Kim Basinger with a large beatbox on his shoulder blasting out Party Man! Just wonderful and I can see why your pirated cassette is important to you. Part of the history of the film!WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-56806749741835050752017-06-25T09:06:24.220+01:002017-06-25T09:06:24.220+01:00Cheers Tone.

One of my faves n the photo was the Remco Energised Batman Figure, a hard plastic 12 inch figure that ascended and descended down a nylon line. Such a cool toy. I found it loose at an evening toy fair I used to go to. I loved those evening toy fairs. Don't think there are any anymore.WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-19141208138365897102017-06-24T21:44:05.242+01:002017-06-24T21:44:05.242+01:00Yes Woodsy it has been a trip down the memory lane...Yes Woodsy it has been a trip down the memory lane always fondly taken. Thanks Tony, Rob, and Bat-master Woods!<br /><br />One significant aspect of the 1989 Batman rebirth that needs re-evaluation and was an important factor in my excited anticipation of the movie, is the quirky soundtrack by Prince. The first copy I had access to was a low-quality pirated c-cassette on sale at a market in Palermo, Italy, where I stayed for that summer. The film premiered in June in the States and had yet to open in Finland in October, but somehow the pirated soundtrack was already there. That cassette has been my treasure ever since, enduring endless replay before I got my hands on the official soundtrack. Prince's Lovesexy album had been a favourite of mine that past year, so the Batman - Burton - Prince line-up was a dream team made in heaven!Artonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-10664247806004467432017-06-24T19:56:59.136+01:002017-06-24T19:56:59.136+01:00Certainly have enjoyed Baturday, Woodsy.

Yep, I can imagine the thrill of getting the toys pictured above at the start of your vintage collecting. What a great selection of Batman toys you grouped together :)Tony Knoreply@blogger.com
