The fun I experienced getting the Batmobile from the Brave & The Bold Series by Mattel was only trumped by scoring this bitchin' Proto Bat-Bot! I was actually surprised at big this thing is- towering over the 4 3/4" action figures of this line, this colossal toy is 12" tall, 8" wide, and just a hair under 3 lbs. He's a whopper!
Proto Bat-Bot's hidden chest cannon is revealed when you twist his head clockwise, lighting up his eyes when he announces "Mega Blaster Activated" and "Great Job, Partner" in a breathy Adam West delivery (who in fact voiced the character on the TV show).
I had underestimated Proto Bat-Bot's level of articulation slightly, finding the range of motion in his elbows and shoulders pretty good. His elbows extend from a right angle all the way out, and his swivel shoulders make a full circle. This short legs only bend slightly at the knees & hips, though this is helpful for balance when holding a figure in his flexible robot claws...
It looks as though Joker won't be getting away this time!
Plastic Man stops by to lend a helping hand to Batman (in his Stealth Blast Armor) in loading Proto Bat-Bot's cannon...
Eminently qualified in the field of robotics as he is an android himself, Red Tornado assists with a jam in Proto Bat-Bot's gun bay doors...
...and with the help of his fellow heroes, Batman has Proto Bat-Bot up and running again! Now that's teamwork! The Man of Steel stops in to check progress, shake hands with good friends, and bear witness to Batman's impressive creation...
I can't keep my hands off this wonderful toy- it filled me with such joy that it nearly brought a tear to my eye- I'm talking about real happiness... what I'm trying to say is that I love this toy- I love this toy like a child would. Sorry about a dozen extra large pics in one post, but you can clearly see that the play value is high in this big boy :D
Have a FUN Weekend!
i LOVE that toy too & i'm also crying because i don't have it BUT i'm so glad you do becoz the pictures you took and posted here are just wonderful in showing how much FUN these toys are! Enjoy the weekend, take more pictures while you're having FUN and share them with us CHEERS
ReplyDeleteThat thing looks huge! What a great addition to your collection Super-D.
ReplyDeleteOMG This is the first ever Batman Robo or Mecha I seen! I didn't see this over at my retail here...ever!
ReplyDeleteLEon - I am pretty sure this was a Target exclusive, which may explain why you have never seen it.
ReplyDeleteNice toy! I considered getting it myself before, I may have to do so now that you gave it such a glowing recommendation!
That is so Awesome, thanks for sharing. Gonna have to look for one of those!
ReplyDeleteSuper-D did you find Solomon Grundy yet? I might be able to get you one locally on the cheap at TJ Maxx if they still have them there plus Big Lots is starting to get Brave and the Bold figures too.
ReplyDeletei DID find one, JBoy! bought hime loose on eBay. he arrived just this afternoon :)
ReplyDeleteOk cool i just wanted to be sure buddy because i would head over and grab it for you if he was still there. : )
ReplyDeleteWow. Looks awesome. I don't even have and B&B toys, but I may need to get this. Great pics too!
ReplyDeleteThat is both huge and awesome!! Definitely a fun toy. I was at Target this past weekend, and didn't see this guy. Maybe I'll see him next time, if the price is right(maybe on clearence), I may pick him up. You should take a few group shots of all the figures you have for the line. It could be epic! :)
ReplyDeleteNot trying to be a smart ass or anything but I was trying to figure your age from that pic -cute by the way- and I had to ask ;]
ReplyDeleteHa Ha :D thanks Sally- I'll be 39 (going on twelve) in May!
