The 1989 Batman Merchandise Catalog

[Paul]

Apparently this Batman merchandise catalog was handed out at some theaters in 1989 when the Batman movie premiered.

I want like 90% of the things in this catalog... like now.

All I know is you can't watch a Warner Bros movie without a Warner Bros ball cap.

I clicked on this expecting a Bob the Goon action figure and I was not disappointed.

[Hit Girl]

I had a Bob action figure.

I remember a friend of mine in middle school buying the Bob the Goon figure at Kay-Bee with the logic that "He's dead, so it'll be worth something!"

$10 for playing cards in 1989 money, the f***?

When TRU cleared out the overstock of Bob the goon a buddys uncle bought all they had at 50 cents a figure.

Then over the years at cons sold them off at 5 bucks each. Decent profit. Same dude bought all the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs action figures when the local Dollar Tree got them. And sat on them for a few years to resell later at cons and then online.

Us BobTheGoonaholics have had to watch Harley Quinn rise to prominence over the last three decades, but we’ll never forget who the Joker’s real number one guy is…

I don't remember the Bob figure being that bald (maybe it came with a hat?) and I remember the figure I got as a stocking stuffer having a purple jacket. But man, that was so long ago my memory hole is probably broken. I also got a sweet swamp thing figure with a detachable hand that I used to kill Bob all the time.

I think we had this catalog in the house because I specifically remember that there was a Batman item where we was still wearing his blue and gray costume and that image of Bob Kane in the Batman jacket and hat.
