One of comic book superhero Batman's arch nemesis The Joker first appeared in the 1940 comic Batman #1 but he didn't appear on tv until 1966 in the Adam West version of Batman.

HABA is one of the oldest toymakers from Germany. Founded in 1938, HABA has continued to "stand up for the little guy" by making high quality toys and games for babies and young children. In a world where infant safety is more important than ever before, HABA toys are a great choice that will stand the test of time. These are the toys that are passed down through the generations. More recently, HABA has expanded its award-winning line of wooden toys and traditional games to include children's furniture and unique room decorations. These new offerings are still in line with HABA's core mission, which actually can be seen in their name itself. In German, HABA stands for "high quality products and age appropriate materials." HABA also "stands up for the little guy" by supporting small businesses and partnering with boutique retailers rather than the Big Box stores. Clearly, this toy maker values traditional values, in its toys and also in its relationships. That's why we love HABA!
