New Batman Adventures Batman (Platinum Edition)

I passed on this Platinum Edition New Adventures Batman twice, believe it or not, but the third time I caved. I'm a sucker for Batman in black and red, and I love that Bruce Timm style. I'd love to have a Tim Drake Robin from this series in his matching colors! 

The matted animation cel included features Batgirl and Robin- nice inclusion with this packed figure, which also includes nine hands, a batarang and separate grapnel launcher (one of the right hands holds another grapnel launcher. I might have chosen a couple more batarangs over so many hand options.

The obvious first comparison would be my standard issue McFalane New Adventures Batman, which I love. McFarlane produce a silver and black version of this that I've also seen in the wild a few times, but I was not crazy about the swirly, marbled silver plastic- if it were painted silver, or gold for that matter, I might have bought it.

And finally, Platinum New Adventures Batman with my McFalane Batman '66 Italian Movie Poster Batman, also in red. I've said before how much I love off-model representations of comic book heroes, and variants on a theme in general. These also stir a nostalgia for all those colorful Batman variants produced in the '90s. Pure fun!

More Later! Make It FUN!
