Batman: The Animated Newsletter
 

TWO-FACE'S TRADING POST
(by Tim "TWO-FACE" Leighton)
 
I know that there are many people out there that collect Batman OR Superman items - like
myself.  I only started a year ago and, believe me, finding some of these items (like action figures) that were released a couple years ago is pretty tough! So, I decided to start up a
little section in the newsletter to help out our fellow Bat-fans.  I can only personally guarantee that my entries are 100% true, for I saw these items with my own eyes.  So we're working on the honour system here. Sound fair?
 
ALSO if you are LOOKING for something, e-mail me and I can put your request in the "WANT TO BUY" section.  There is the possibility that a fellow subscriber is willing to sell what you're looking for!
 
Well, here we go! I hope this helps out someone out there!
 
1. JOKERZ LEADER. Mail editor Tim "TWO-FACE" Leighton if you are interested in the Jokerz Leader figure from the new "Batman Beyond" line, in a near-mint package.  Pic available.  E-mail: juno@direct.ca
 
2. KILLER CROC. Editor Tim "TWO-FACE" Leighton has a spare Killer Croc figure lying around, in a mint package.  Pic available. E-mail juno@direct.ca if interested.
 
3. THE MAD HATTER. Yup! Editor Tim "TWO-FACE" Leighton has one spare BTAS "Mad Hatter" figure (in a mint-condition package) in his possession that he is willing to get rid of. This is the only Mad Hatter figure in existance (to our collective knowledge), and is a wonderful figure besides! Sure, that was a shameless plug, but it IS a cool figure. Pic available.  If interested, e-mail: juno@direct.ca
 
4. SUPERGIRL. Yep!  If you want one of these, e-mail editor Tim "TWO-FACE" Leighton, and he should be able to find one for you, in a mint or near-mint package!  e-mail: juno@direct.ca
 
5. TNBA EASTER EGG.  From England.  An approx. 5"X8" box with great artwork all the way around.  Contains a large red-foil wrapped chocolate Easter egg (good until 7-99) and some gum-drop-like candies. Cost is $25.00 per egg which includes shipping and insurance within the US.  Email for scanned pic, or if interested: keatking@icehouse.net
 
6. HUGE Batman collection for sale includes animated, movie, and comics related Bat-items - so huge, we can't list all the items here! There are movie scripts, action figures, archive books, and more. Collection is being sold as a lot for $430.00 and cannot be broken up. For full list, e-Mail Dani at Peterpan@ma.ultranet.com
 
----------
WANTS TO BUY
 
1. CLAYFACE. Anyone know where to get a "Legends of the Dark Knight" Clayface figure? I know it's not animated, but it still counts for this column... Some have submitted phone numbers for Hasbro, but they only work for those in the USA, and not Canadians such as myself...can anyone help? E-mail: juno@direct.ca
 
2. COMBAT BELT BATMAN, and BTAS BATMOBILE.  If you know where to find these figures - or a BTAS Batwing (I'm pretty sure one was made) e-mail this address: cnwitkow@concentric.net
 
3. BATMAN/NIGHTWING TWO-PACK.  Personally, I don't know if such a thing even exists, but I could very easily be proven wrong. If anyone can find this two-pack, e-mail one of your fellow subscribers at this address: jokerz84@hotmail.com

FEATURED BAT-SITES FOR THIS ISSUE
 
WELCOME TO...
 
I thought I'd tell you about two great sites. One new, and the other new - well to me, anyways. These two sites deserve a lot of attention simply becuase of the work and effort put into them. So without furthur ado, here are breif synopses of both sites:
 
 
This site takes a look at the entire DCU as if it were a part of the "animated" universe. We get to see all of our favourite characters in the beautiful animated form. We finally get to see what a potential JLA animated series would look like. We get to see more of the animated Metropolis. There are just tonnes and tonnes of animated version of DCU's favorite super-teams and heroes. Plus, there is also a MARVEL section in which we see some MARVEL characters in animated form. This entire site is extrememly well done. There's also a schedule page, an upcoming comics page, a fanart page, and more. I recommend this site to any ANIMATED or DCU fan!

As for submissions, feel free to submit an article or opinion on anything pertaining to BTAS. Keep in mind that as the editors, we have the right to edit your submissions if we deem it necessary. Such instances would include problems with length, grammar, and language.  If we do feel we must edit something, however, we will do our utmost to ensure that the opinion and the basic message of the submission does not change, as that is the most important part of any artcile, and everyone is entitled to it. And if you do submit something, please don't just submit a basic review of an episode or a comic or something (because we have people writing for those purposes already) - write about an issue you'd like to discuss.
