The Batman ShadowTek Batmobile by MATTEL INC.

The ultimate crime fighter needs the ultimate crime-fighting vehicle. Enter the new ShadowTek Batmobile.  This tricked-out cruiser features electronic lights and sounds, twin projectile launchers, and two modes of play: “stealth” and “attack.”  The ShadowTek Batmobile fits with most 4-3/4” figures, which are sold separately.  The ShadowTek Batmobile requires three button cell batteries, which are included.
— "Some Batman cars" were best-selling in the action figure category according to Terri Bracken, owner of Earth Explorers Toys in Zionsville, Ind.
— Mattel is “accommodating to small stores beyond what is expected of such a large company. They give free shipping for very small orders and special discounts for small stores,” Harold Herskowitz of Toy Trade told TDmonthly. 5/24/2007 (Price: $19.99) [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]

The Batman ShadowTek Vehicle by MATTEL INC.

This figure and vehicle assortment features three powerful new vehicles that give Batman and Robin the ultimate transforming crime-fighting vehicles on land, air or sea.  The Gotham U.A.V. Urban Assault Vehicle is a mega-armored tank with various weaponry to battle crime on the go.  Meanwhile, the Batblade protects the skies of Gotham City with quad-blasters, while Robin figure’s Blitz Copter can morph from helicopter to jet mode with a few simple maneuvers.  Each vehicle comes with weapons.
— "We have several new figures that we introduced this year for 'The Batman' animated series," said Michele Sturdivant, director of PR for Mattel Brands. 5/24/2007 (Price: $12.99) [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]

PW107 Large Power Wheels Car Cover by FISHER-PRICE INC.

This nylon UV-resistant car cover helps protect a Power Wheels vehicle from the elements. The bottom drawstring lets parents tie the cover down for added protection against the elements. The cover is screen printed with the Power Wheels logo. (Vehicle sold separately.)
― “For those who must keep the vehicles outside, the Power Wheels covers are the way to go,” said store owner Alice Pillivant, of Maynard, Mass. “At Gramps’ Garage, this accessory comes in seventh place on the best-seller list.” 4/5/2007

Power Wheels Mirror/Windshield by FISHER-PRICE INC.

Cosmetic parts, such as a mirror or a windshield, add to the value and realism of Power Wheels cars, Alice Pillivant, owner of Gramps’ Garage in Maynard, Mass., told TDmonthly. The more realistic the vehicle, the greater the child’s learning experience.  4/5/2007

Power Wheels Decals by FISHER-PRICE INC.

Maintenance and repair, in addition to the original car shopping and ongoing experience, is all well and good; but vehicle ownership, especially among the younger set, should have a “fun” element to it, said Garrett and Alice Pillivants, owners of Gramps’ Garage in Maynard, Mass. Decals personalize Power Wheels vehicles and make them extra cool. 4/5/2007

Power Wheels Switches by FISHER-PRICE INC.

Fisher-Price Power Wheels switches prevent children from accidentally leaving the vehicles on for extended periods. They are an excellent sales point for Gramps’ Garage in Maynard, Mass. A key element of this product, Owner Alice Pillvant noted, is that customers need to come to Gramps’ Garage if they want switches because the switches “often have to be installed” and ― at least locally ― Gramps’ Garage is the place to go for Power Wheels installation. 4/5/2007

12-Volt Power Wheels Charger by FISHER-PRICE INC.

This charger is for use with Power Wheels 12-volt battery systems with one gray battery. A built-in indicator shows the battery charge status so users can easily see when the battery is ready for use. The charger must only be used with a Power Wheels Type 12-volt lead acid battery.
― “We New Englanders have some sense of the reality that battery life can be enhanced by the use, at least on occasion, of overnight chargers,” said Alice Pillivant, owner of Gramps' Garage in Maynard, Mass. Fisher-Price Power Wheels chargers are her second-best-selling item. 4/5/2007 (Price: $30.00)

Power Wheels Batteries by FISHER-PRICE INC.

This 12-volt battery has been designed to fulfill rigorous Power Wheels requirements to provide the best possible performance, durability and maximum play time for Power Wheels vehicles. It’s for use with Fisher-Price Power Wheels Advanced Series vehicles, with a Type 12-volt battery system only. It features an internal, self-resetting fuse and also comes with an instruction booklet containing important safety information. A 6-volt version retails for $28.
― Alice Pillivant, owner of Gramps’ Garage in Maynard, Mass., said of the Fisher-Price Power Wheels line: “Batteries are my very top [sellers]; they sell year-round. Because of the quantity I sell, I stay competitive with Wal-Mart and Toys ‘R’ Us.” 4/5/2007 (Price: $55.00)
