Hey guys, hope all is well. Just got back from New York Toy Fair - lots going on!
The promo is "officially" going to start on March 1 and last through May 1. Packages are being stickered with the rules, a commercial is running during March, we've got an online site starting and Kmart will have specific signage and an incremental prize. The The prize pack kit is great and we've got custom posters from DC Comics as part of the pack. Warner Home Video is also contributing a Season 1, Volume 1 DVD.
Okay - that's my last official correspondence as the guy on "The Batman". Wanted to let you know that I'm heading off both The Batman and DC Superheroes and moving over to Hot Wheels. Boy Wonder is still on DC Superheroes and my replacement on The Batman should be joining you guys shortly. I'll miss working on both brands, but Hot Wheels is a great opportunity (Hot Wheels Batmobiles anyone?) but I'll drop in every now and then to chat. Give me your thoughts and opinions on how we can make Hot Wheels even better with respect to the world of the Dark Knight.
Take care and keep giving up your thoughts! IG

Thanks so much IG.
It was a real pleasure to have the 'official word' from you. As far as Hot Wheel's go...yeah, we'd love some new Batman related Hotwheels.
Joker-mobile, a Riddler-Car (like the one briefly seen in Challenge of the Superfriends) heck, I think Corgi had a series of Superhero cars in the 1980's that included a Daily Planet Newspaper Truck, a Lex Luthor car, a Robin car....(Redbird?) and even an Aquaman vehicle. (Although what Arthur Curry would need a car for is beyond me!) LOL.
Thanks again and please do drop in to chat from time to time.

Thanks IG! I cant wait to see what Bat related goodies you cook up for HotWheels! As far as the The Batman In store pronos goes, I was just gonna post I spotted the newly labled Batmobiles and Misc. Merchandise at Target offering/describing the "Power Key Kit" promotion. says its a 35-45$? value for 4.50$? S+H and sounds cool.... shame I finally broke down and bought the Batmobile (waited to get the dvd version) and Croc fig the other day lol. At any rate, best of luck and thanks agian IG!

Sure - I'm sending a jpeg of the prize pack over to matt so he can post. Buy 1 EXP Batmobile and 1 basic figure and you get the Batman EXP Powerk Key kit - all of these cool things that transform your room in a Batman room! Plus go online to batmanexp.com and play cool games and enter a contest for an even bigger deal - a $2500 build your own Batman room!
Matt, could we start a new thread on Mattel Hot Wheels? Want to start interacting on that level too.
Take care, IG

This finally motivated me to buy the Batmobile. I bought the last one when it was in a packaged deal with the tri-jet for $10.00 and I bought the Batwave Batmobile when I saw it for $8.00 at a Dollar General. So now I have all the vehicles.
I'm going around looking for Batgirl. That's really the only figure I need. Hopefully, I'll find it before the deadline.
