McFarlaneToys/DC Direct Batman the Animated Lightning Strike Batman

I struggle classifying this as a DC Direct figure AND a McFarlane Toys figure, as I'm a big fan of the old DC Direct figures before McFarlane Toys took over in 2021. Regardless, I couldn't resist purchasing this Lightning Strike Batman loose on eBay after finding the 4.75" Kenner version from 1993. I am thrilled with the art on the collector card and intend to find a small frame for it. Variant Batman figures are my jam and this one really does it for me. The clunky grapple launcher isn't easily held and weird extra pair of hands (?) don't interest me, and I may have skipped the cel shading, but I'm otherwise quite fond of this Batman figure.

And finally, Lightning Strike Batman with my McFarlane Platinum Edition New Adventures Batman, another Batman variant I love. I'm happy with these animated Batman figures by McFarlane and could see myself picking another up if the right one comes along.

More Later- Make It FUN!
