Terrific TV Toys: Batgirl PVC diorama and production cel from "The New Batman Adventures"

In the "Holiday Knights" episode of "The New Batman Adventures" animated series, you see some fun stuff. You see Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy kidnapping and drugging poor Bruce Wayne so they can go on a shopping spree at a department store in Gotham a few days before Christmas. And you see Clayface rampaging through a different department store a couple days later, on Christmas Eve. But fear not -- Batgirl arrives on the scene. She jumps on that nasty ole Clayface, throws him around a bit, tells everyone to clear the area. It's two of those wonderful moments that are captured in the pieces you see on the latest episode of Terrific TV Toys.

The PVC diorama just came out last year and is part of a set by Diamond Select Toys, a set featuring a variety of characters in the Timmverse from which "TNBA" sprung. The diorama goes for about $45. THEN ... the crème de la crème ... an original production cel used in the shooting of that episode back in 1997, all nicely framed and matted and for sale in the gallery of a Warner Bros. Studio Store back then. Original price for that was about $500, and these cels can go for a few hundred more than that now. Nice stuff ...
