About this deal

Holcomb, Benjamin. Mego 8" Super-Heroes: World's Greatest Toys!. TwoMorrows Publishing, 2007, p. 18, 27, 35, 139-143 . The Batman: The Animated Series action figure line had a bit of a confusing history with the move to Hasbro, the multiple spin-off television series, and the many repainted figures. I’ve done my best to untangle it here but I also wanted to use this article to discuss the new figures coming out currently. These new figures are turning heads and generating toy headlines. With Crime Squad failing to attract the desired punch Kenner lost no time in doing a reshuffling and renaming second series of Crime Squad as Adventures of Batman and Robin. The new series in-fact included a number of figures that scheduled but not released in the previous Batman Animated Series lineup. An action figure line based on the film The Dark Knight Rises has recently released 7 figures: Batman, Bane, Catwoman, John Blake, Alfred, Ra's al Ghul, and Jim Gordon.

In 1995, Batman Forever was released featuring Val Kilmer as the Dark Knight. Breaking away from the repetitive base sculpt of the previous two movie collections, Kenner produced Batman Forever figures using a wider range of fresh sculpts. In January 2020, McFarlane released their first line of action figures based on DC Comics properties, including Batman and Superman. The figures stood taller than Mattel's DC Multiverse figures and features greater detail and more articulation, as well as more accessories. In January 2020, Spin Master also released their 4" line of DC Comics and Batman action figures which came with mystery accessories. The Kenner Batman the Animated Series Turbojet Batman was an interesting variation of Batman. This Kenner suited Batman came with a turbojet to help him fly across Gotham fighting crime.Although a vast array of figures were produced for this series, including a good mixture of the villains, it was vastly over produced and therefore the figures have failed to increase in value by any significant amount.

Animated Series - Batman (DC Collectibles) Checklist

After a mix of failed toy lines, Hasbro stepped into the picture and bought out Kenner. With that acquisition, they started their own series of Batman: The Animated Series action figures. Their first toy line for the franchise was called The New Batman Adventures. This line featured new sculpts based on the updated animated series from the WB network. It also included figures of Batman, Nightwing, and some Batman: The Animated Series villains. Notable in this run are the including of Mad Hatter and the Creeper! The characters were designed to showcase the deathly venom of Gotham City criminals and the tremendous heroism of the Dark Night himself.Find sources: "Batman action figures"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( August 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Holcomb, Benjamin.

The most notable figures in this series were the Deluxe figures which were Hydro Jet Nightwing, Silver Defender Batman, Insect Body Mr. Freeze and Rumble Ready Riddler as these had a very limited distribution and short shelve life. Batman Mission Masters 1999 – 2000 A few of the series highlights were Assault Gauntlet Batman with his ultra-cool accessories, Dark Knight Detective Batman for his perfect colors and incredible cape, the futuristic inspirational Lava Fury Batman and Shatter Blade Batman for his remarkable design. Mattel released cheaper versions of their basic figures from the Batman Missions line in several "dollar stores" across America, including Dollar General and Family Dollar. The figures came in a small box, did not include any accessories, and had limited articulation.
