That Infantino Batman statue is AWESOME! Either I did not see those in store, or they were out of my price range at the time and I created a mental block...lol
It may very well be, I'm pretty sure "Entertainment" was in the title, but not definite. It was located in the north-east section of the Ontario Mills Mall, across from Dave & Busters, and it wasn't there very long...maybe two years or so?

Had to unpack them, only made room for 4 though. It wasn't easy selecting from the 3 different Batman jars. The Animated one is technically the mate to the Catwoman jar, but I really favor this one:

I need to watch this. We discovered Louisville had a WB store just about a year or so before the whole chain collapsed. I have a ton of merch from there, including a large Batman statue based on Carmine Infantino's art, and several of the Ross plates. We were expecting our first kid when they started to clearance out their stock for closing, and bought up a TON of Super Baby clothes and other items!
WB Studio Stores is right up there with Media Play and Borders for stores I really, really miss.
EDIT:
Dang it! The Batarang statue is the one I have too! LOL! I didn’t even know there was another one.Last edited by TRDouble; Sep 24, '22, 12:37 PM.Leave a comment:

I still have quite a few things in my collection from the Warner Bros Store. Batman artwork, Superman statue, Looney Tuens art, many other random collectibles and still a couple of t-shirts.Leave a comment:

It was a gift, my sister may have ordered it from the WB catalog but I figured she went to the mall. I like your collection.Leave a comment:

^I like that one too, I've seen it a few times on the 2nd market, but I don't recall seeing that one in either of our local stores back in the day. That Bugs Bunny collector featured on Collector's Call several weeks back had them both on display.
I also have these cookie jars from the WB store (mine are all currently packed away, so these are appropriated pics):
And this one I got from that other store that I still can't remember the name of:
Looking at these pics, I'm thinking about unpacking them and putting them back on display.Leave a comment:

^ I have a different version from the store, with Bugs as manicurist: "Dip your patties in the wah-ter!"
I still have two beanies and some Batman Animated wall sculptures, as well as a Pepe Le Pew mug ( my favorite 'toon).
And, I've the Infantino Batman statue, too Chris--awesome. WB, and Disney, were great stores.Last edited by PNGwynne; Sep 22, '22, 7:50 PM.Leave a comment:

My favorite piece that I still have is my Innnteresting Gossamer cookie jar.
It's where I keep my Hostess treats.

Yes, the human characters/superheroes didn't translate well to the stuffed beanie format IMO unless they were exaggerated caricatures like Fred Flintstone. The animal characters looked better.Leave a comment:

I had the DC beanies, which I eventually surrendered to my kids; I do not regret that.Leave a comment:
