Super Juniors - Batman and Robin
“Holy diaper rash, Batman!”
It’s Batman and Robin as you’ve never seen them before. They’re 7″ vinyl squeeze toys… and they’re babies.
These lil’ fellas were my first find at the Allentown Antique Toy Show.

From what I can gather from the legal info on their feet, these toys are called Super Juniors (©1978 DC Comics).

I found no true origin for these toys, but I have discovered a couple of Super Junior comics that were printed in the 80s. I’m not sure if there’s a direct tie-in with these dolls, but the character designs do seem similar.
So, is anyone else like me in thinking that these toys look a lot like the old Big Boy restaurant character? Only thing Batman and Robin need are hamburger trays in their hands.
Either way, the dynamic duo never looked more precious.

But here’s the question… have you ever seen the Big Boy and Batman Junior together? Hmmm…

When I was a kid - 3 to 5 years old - I had bed sheets with all of these characters on them (w/o the Shoney’s Big Boy). I thought they also included Greens Lantern and Arrow.

Btw, “Los Super-Juniors” was a $5,000.00 comic book? I wouldn’t have paid over $4,000.00.

Nice photos! I have this set of vinyl figures & they are some of my most favorite pieces. They’re just so weird looking. They also made a Superman & Wonder Woman, those are cute too.
