Check out this AWESOME Movie Poster & Teaser Trailer Video ( down below ) for TOKYO TOY GUY, The BATMAN Toys and Memorabilia Collector Movie!! Yes, this is a film our Good friend Yuji Ueda has been working on for over 5 years. He traveled to 6 different Countries around the World to focus his video camera on some of the most major Batman Toy Collections in the world!! Now, not to brag or anything, but Chip Kidd makes an appearance in this film. Yuji traveled to the United States and made a special visit to Chip Kidd’s New York City Apartment. While there, he filmed a few super-rare Batman Toys that will appear in the film!
Seriously, this Documentary Movie will completely torture every serious Vintage Toy Collector out there because it has some of the most amazing, and super-rare, museum-quality stuff that you will probably ONLY ever EVER see in this film!
It’s still in post-production right now but please be sure to look for it to appear around November 2012. Also, please stay tuned to the CHIPKIDD.COM website because as soon as we have more information we will pass it along. Yes, we’re seriously excited about seeing this movie!!!

August 31st, 2012
Michael Uslan came by Chip Kidd’s apartment recently. You know they probably geeked-out over “all things Batman”. Here’s what Chip had to say:
“I had the pleasure last night of hosting one my heroes for drinks, legendary Batman movie producer and comic book writer Michael Uslan. I have known him for years and he is one of the brightest and most articulate guys I know, especially about comics and their history. His memoir, “The Boy Who Loved Batman”, is a must-read for fans of the genre.” C.K.
