First of all, hello to everybody. I'm an italian Batman collector and since many months i enjoy this site but i never had the opportunity to communicate a really important bat collecting news to enrich the forum. Until now ! In my country, around Easter time, there a big businness of big colorful chocolate eggs with nice surprises. Every years they get bigger, better and less surprise, since often the box says what "theme" of surprise the costyumer will find in the egg. Well, for the first time, one of the most importan brand of chocolate in Europe, Kinder (also producer of the smaller Kinder Surprise/Magic Eggs, sold all year long) is selling some nice big eggs with suprised based on the new animated series. Now the fact is that the quality of these items is high. Until now i found 2 ''tech'' toys (a Batman nice shaped watch and a torch/batarang launcher) and a very nice more toysh item. A batman figure (almost of the same height and quality of the Mattel ones) that throws batarang against 4 plastic shapes of Joker (2 types) and Penguin (2 types). I HAD to tell you because these items are real solid. I'm not really a wizard in forum posting lore but i guess if i send to the moderator/curator etc the pics of these items he can post it for you, right ? And the best is that usually there are at least 8-12 different surprises. I fear i will have lot of doubles and i'm ready to exchange them with you, if someone is interested.

Thank to you all for the nice welcome. Just some more precisations: these arent normal Kinder Eggs... ''vanilla" Kinder Eggs are exactly as large as a normal poultry egg. Chicken egg. These are Easter exclusive ''Gigante'' (Giant) Kinder Eggs, larger than real Ostrich eggs. I just made some pics with my digicam. Someone wants them so he/she can post them ? One has a new animated Mattel Joker figure for scale comparison...

Hello there deadlymantis and welcome.
I used to live in Germany (Gutersloh) and have seen the type of eggs you are talking about but i would love to see these Batman items that you are talking about. Do you have any pics and what items are you looking for exchange?.

Well, they are indeed nice: if only i could find some new one.. but i keep finding the Batman-throwing-batarang disks one. Just a precisation, though: the Joker you see beside the Batman isthe one from the Mattel series.. i put there for scale comparison. The suprise includes the Batman with that bricky road base, 4 batarang disks and those four target shaped as Penguin(x2) and Joker (x2). I really hope to find something new soon. They'll be out till Easter.

yeah.. they came in eggs too (each in a separate one). the first is a digital watch, you open the plastic scupted door thing -with the face of Batma- and behing theres the watch itself
the second is a torch that also works as disk-launcer.. the disks are stored, as you can see, in the back of the handle

They look great, i wouldnt mind getting my hands on them.
From what i remember, they were pretty expensive eggs. I am sure they were abot 15 euros ($18)a pop. I am sure deadlymantis knows better though.
