Batman The Animated/New Adventures Figure Dump

The catalyst for the whole thing I can't recall, but I started buying loose Batman The Animated/New Adventures figures. Kenner produced a lot of these figures in the '90s, and I had a lot of fun buying up the numerous variants of our favorite Caped Crusader. Most of them don't have their accessories. I never had any of these during childhood, moving into adulthood and college during that era, but I did buy a lot of variant Batman figures from the Batman the Brave and the Bold line produced by Mattel years later. Here's a few too many photos I took of them in the last month or so...

1998 Kenner Batman, Dark Gray and Blue with Yellow Bat Insignia:

Kenner 1998 is stamped on the back of the legs, but I think this was released by Hasbro in 2002, included in in a 2pk with Harley Quinn ("Only in Jest"). Another more standard deco of this buck with the swoosh cape was released with a Robin figure in '98. There's also a purple/black "Gotham Crusader" version of this buck Hasbro released in 2000.

1993 Kenner Lighting Strike Batman:

Possibly my favorite of all these- the fold-out cape/glider is fantastic!

Lighting Strike Batman with Sea Claw and Land Strike Batman:

Crime Squad Sea Claw and Land Strike Batman:

Kenner 1993 Purple Batman: 

I couldn't pin down the name this figure goes by or if he was included in a vehicle/playset that year, but he a lot like the red Infrared Batman. This standard buck was used for many figures and I like it.

1994 Kenner Radar Scope Batman:

I think this is the Radar Scope Batman with someone else's cape- this buck was used again in '96 for the Vector Wing Batman, and possibly others I haven't identified.

Hasbro 2000 Mission Masters Inferno Extinction and 1999 Mission Masters Speedboat Batman:

Turbo Surge Batman and Air Strike Robin:

Is it just me, or do these two look like they are suiting up for a trip to Mars ...?

Below my 1992 Series 1 Turbo Glider Robin with Air Strike Robin...

Crime Squad Series Disaster Control Batman:

Crime Squad Series Disaster Control Batman with Mission Masters Inferno Extinction:

I love the thicker buck on these zany Batman figures ...

Hasbro 2001 Mission Masters Lunar Attack Batman:

1998 Kenner Batman New Adventures Knight Glider:

Kenner New Adventures Batman  Figures:

I'm pretty sure these are Kenner New Adventure Batmen- the lighter grey has discoloration and particularly rubbery legs. Neither of them stand well, due mostly to the heavy plastic cape. These are probably from around 1998.

Kenner Batman with my McFarlane Toys New Adventures Batman:

Hasbro 1998 Mission Masters Team Batcycle Batman and Nightwing:

These came with a bike originally, and there's a red version of this duo I'd like to have as well.

Mattel 2002 Tech Suit Batman

There was also an orange/silver/black version of this. The cape fold at the shoulders is a little bulky, but this is a cool Batman with Thomas Wayne/Flashpoint vibes in black/gray/red...

1995 Kenner Sea Claw Batman:

Yes, another Sea Claw Batman. I really like the all-black with metallic teal deco...

And finally, my Hasbro 2000 Mission Masters Mountain Pursuit Batman with my standard issue, 1998 Batman, released in the 2000 Mission Masters Series by Hasbro with a glider as the Knight Assault Batman, identified by the gold utility belt and cloth cape. He looks great, but the small feet on this buck make standing him a challenge.

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!
