Transforming Batmobile Toothbrush

This is a another item in our "Grimefighter" series. This is a Batmobile toy based on the car from the second incarnation of Batman: The Animated Series called The New Batman Adventures. This item has a 1999 copyright date on it. Along with a new art style, Batman got a brand new Batmobile. This sleek little beauty is actually a toothbrush. By day, it hangs out with Corgis and Hotwheels. By night, it keeps company with toothpaste, mouthwash, and running water. It kind of has a dual identity like it's driver.

I've always thought it was pretty neat the way this car transforms. I even kept a packaged example but I can't seem to find it, currently. When it turns up, I'll throw it up in a quick post.

Grimefighting with the Caped Crusader

What's the first thing you think of when you hear the word, "Batman?"

Good hygiene, of course.

There has been no shortage of Batman branded health and hygiene products over the years. This is a "The Batman" toothbrush from just a couple of years ago. I particularly like the sculpting with the swooping cape that turns into the handle and the addition of a Batarang to show that this implement of cleanliness means business.

...and, to think, most kids probably used these and threw them away when the bristles wore out. Don't they know they are supposed to keep them in the package and put them on a shelf?!

Kids today...

We'll be featuring Batman health and hygiene products all week here on the Giant Penny. These products are kind of like the unsung heroes of the Batman collecting world. They don't get much attention but are very cool, all the same. Stay tuned...and stay clean.
