About this deal

Neither are slam dunks in terms of likeness, but I see a lot more of Burt Ward in Robin than I do Adam West in Batman. Honestly, the scaling here is actually a little better than what we saw with MEGO’s toys, but that’s still a pretty flimsy excuse to make an under-sized Batmobile. Knowing what I was getting going in, I’m not at all sorry I picked it up, but if you do already own the Mattel version, you may want to give this one a pass! As for accessories, you get comic-style punching effects that clip onto the figure’s wrists, just like we saw with the Boxing figures.

The Batpoles are the only disappointment in the entire set, as they really don’t have any way to remain stable and aren’t strong enough to support any of the figures.The cape is fabric, and takes a bit of time to properly smooth out, and he’s lacking in many accessories.

Plus, they’re made of bright yellow plastic and attach to discs that are the same color, so it’s not as if they’re a direct recreation of the poles from the show. As with Robin, there is the standard version of the character as well as a chase variant, but in this case the unmasked version is the more common figure as opposed to the much more rare masked variant. The paint doesn’t hold up quite as nicely when you punch in really close with the camera, but it looks fine in hand. It has that classic black finish with the striking red highlights, and has tons of details in the cockpit.All crimefighters need a place to rest their head, and Batman’s Batcave is no doubt the best in all of popular culture. The way his domino mask looks like it’s actually sculpted onto the head with the eyes fully sculpted and painted behind it just looks superb. Personally, it’s second only to the Batmobile from the 1989 Batman film, but even then it’s a very, very close race. Like Batman, Robin is nice and posable, and I was even able to get a few more unique shots out of him than I was with Bats.

William Omaha McElroy, highly respected professor of Egyptology at Yale University, was struck in the head by a rock during a violent student protest. I already dipped into the Retro 66 Batman pool a short while ago with a look at Boxing Batman and Riddler, but today I’m going to go back to basics by checking out the Dynamic Duo and their bitchin ride. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH).The only things that need to be attached are some railings, a ladder, and the Batpoles, and those are easy enough. Much like Batman, it is also a great representation of Burt Ward’s Robin, even if this likeness is a little more “general young guy” than “definitely Burt Ward” in the finish. The color of the cowl should have probably been a little more purple than blue, and it’s not a perfect likeness of West, but it still looks great from head to toe. That beautiful yellow oval looks great against the bodysuit that is just pure West, and the pockets on the belt are upside down for ease of Batarang and other gadget retrieval. That may have been because the more acrobatic Boy Wonder lends himself to inspiration easier than the more stoic Caped Crusader, but I had some fun getting some good shots out of Robin.

I was really impressed with the different colors they used to render the Batphone, steering wheel, and some of the various levers in the main console of the car, which I kind of wish extended to other parts of the vehicle. It’s understandable, but there are lots of potential problems when you consider the open packaging and the possibility of them warping. This is awful packaging and it should be outlawed by the Hague Convention on the Just and Humane Treatment of Toys. S. AND CANADA CRIME PHOTO FILE and an INTERNATIONAL CRIME PHOTO FILE to ensure you can solve all crimes, both foreign and domestic. You’ve got a file cabinet, memory banks, a computer, a work desk, radar machines, recording equipment, and more tools that should be part of every crimefighter’s arsenal.Mattel’s 66 Batman line combined these familiar comic visuals with the figure stands and that was a good idea, but it’s not like McFarlane could have copied that.
