Brave & The Bold Happy Meal Premiums

I have many of the Batman: The Brave and The Bold line, styled after the animated show that aired on Cartoon Network from 2008 -2011. It had been awhile since I posted on my collection of these, but I had started picking up loose figures recently, including some of these McDonald's Happy Meal premiums. There were smaller figures without articulation offered, and larger figures with action features released in another, separate wave. I've posted on two other Brave and The Bold fast-food premiums in the past, Blue Beetle and Plastic Man- both of which were super fun!

 

I loved how the show stylized Green Arrow in his Silver-Age outfit, with red boots and gloves- in April I posted on the 9" Green Arrow that Hasbro produced in 1999 wearing that outfit, circle back and check him out:

Brave & The Bold Batman Figures

 Batman: The Brave and The Bold was a line styled after the animated show that aired on Cartoon Network from 2008 -2011. I was late to the party when I started collecting them in 2013, but could easily find the continued line on retail pegs ten years ago. It had been awhile since I posted on my collection of these, but I had started picking up loose figures recently, eventually finding this Attack Blade Batman.

I love the deco of this Batman, including his vac-metal chest- the attack blade accessory is mildly cumbersome, but I love the ported limbs concept, interchangeable with the other figures accessories. While I have several figures from this line still on card, it had been a decade since I opened one of these...

I'd been buying loose variants of Batman from this line, including the blue/light gray below, holding an unrelated sword accessory that I also picked up on eBay just for fun. I'm not sure how this variant was sold, but the darker variant nest to him was sold as Aqua Jet Batman with a nautical backpack accessory that fires a missile.

At first glance, the Aqua-Jet Batman accessory is clunky and useless, but the ports on the limbs of these figures opens a lot of modular possibilities. I still feel this was the genius of the Brave and The Bold toy line...

All these blue/gray Batman variants reminded me of my chunky Mattel DC Super Friends Batman, below/center. Flanking this lineup are my Stealth Strike Gear-Up Batman and Battle Axe Batman ...

The Chainsaw Attack Batman below/right was new to my collection- he included a more clunky "deluxe" accessory at retail, but I picked up a Battle-Saw accessory for this loose sample on eBay. He pairs well with the Super Saber Batman I also found loose on eBay...

My Smashing Axe Batman also had a shoulder pauldron ....

I have a Super Saber Batman still on card, as well as a Medieval Batman- a repaint of the former with updated "Snap Attack" branding. The Brave & the Bold line morphed throughout it's run, also labeled "Total Armor" and "Stealth Strike" before Mattel removed the B&TB branding entirely, abandoning the accessory ports entirely and releasing "Justice League" figures in the same scale/styling in spring of 2013.

All of these were great additions to my Batman: The Brave and The Bold collection- it's fun to dig back in the collection and see what I've kept over the years, and this was one of those lines I really loved! While Batman: The Animated Series was roundly lauded by fans and critics, Batman: The Brave and The Bold may have been my favorite animated Batman show- it dug deep into the DC character roster and was super fun!
