[@heroicDale]

I wish you would have done a size comparison with the DC Direct McFarlane Toys version..

Got the batmobile and its a great sub for the OG i have the og kenner tonka batmobilebut not NIP this was a great substitute for having a cool boxed batmobile on my shelfs with old kenner stuff a bit small for my mcfarlane set but sits well next to the OG😊

I don't think there's any risk of BTAS being forgotten. It remains one of the most celebrated animated shows of all time. Apart from re-releases and remasters of the show, there's still a steady stream of merch and products being released. LEGO, Hot Wheels, birthday cake decorations, etc, etc. I can't think of many shows from that era, which still get as much attention as this. It's probably second only to The Simpsons. As for this set, it had somehow completely escaped my attention. But I will definitely pick these up.

3:41 you talking some truth right now.

I think I get what you mean about the retro toy styling. I love the character design from BTAS and that must be retained, but the product format must stand out from what is already on the market. The McFarlane/DC Direct reissues are similar to this, albeit a larger scale with limitations in articulation. I would like to see more of what MAFEX started to do with the Batman from the TNBA. Modern articulation, detailed accessories, swappable capes, and head portraits. The look and style is still present, but you can do more poses for more dynamic presentation. Id like to see that.

[@kaioken654]

Could you imagine if we go those with modern star wars vintage collection style articulation... but I'll keep dreaming

Nice review! Very curious about this line, but not sure it’s for me. I agree on the subject of retro, I think we’re at a tipping point here. I’d just love to see a modern, 1:12, line for BTAS. The DC Direct stuff was fine for its time, these retro toys have some appeal, but BTAS deserves its own definitive, modern, interpretation in plastic. I wish these 5 points also had swappable legs. The arms are cool, but some poses are off because the legs are just straight up and down. Still, these are neat and I wish ReAction had this much creativity.

[@Fisk4life]

The prices on these are ludicrous.

[@darrellwallace4182]

WOW! They look FANTASTIC! I WANT THEM ALL!

[@clemsontgr84]

Just got these in yesterday from BBTS and I’m fucking excited

Nostalgia and retro is not dying. It sells like crazy and is why there is so much of it. I hope it never goes away. We’re 8 years into the Retro Revolution and last I checked Reaction was still going strong for Super7 which is what kickstarted the retro revolution. Every time something new is tried people complain or it fails. They did try and do something new with BTAS and it failed miserably thanks to elements that could have been avoided. The Caped Crusader BTAS revival was amazing. It was all the best parts of BTAS turned up to 11 and finally gave us a censor free show and straight from Bruce Timm. They made a bunch of identity politics type changes such as race and gender swapping that tanked the show. I didn’t mind any of that because the animation, music, voice acting and writing were so top shelf and not to mention the Film Noir style. It was BTAS on steroids but it got torn to shreds. Mcfarlane has the perfect opportunity to continue the DC Direct line by making figures based on this show but itll probably never happen. Mezco’s 5-Points Fleischer Superman and 1966 Batman sets are fantastic. 66 Batman comes with a great Batmobile and 5-6 figures including a version of Riddler that has never been made before. It’s Gorshin’s formal suit with the hat. All the 5-Points sets are true retro scale of 3.75”.

uh scaling smh

[@TheKingOfCollectors]

I don't like the blue, why not just make it black like it's suppose to be...I just got the Target exclusive McFarlane Animated Batmobile and it has a weird blueish mix color... I just prefer the all black.

[@whitezombified]

Nah these don't look like Kenner lol. The kenner ones are more accurate to the cartoon than these and especially more accurate than the DC collectibles version when it comes to batman

[@guyverxx]

What in the fuq are you talking about!? Besides there being a fuqin current comics series you can not turn around without a reference or a talk back on this series. I do not know anyone who doesn't remember it. My kids fuqin watch it. Also... You are reviewing a fuqin NEW toy line on it. McFarland is releasing figures on it.
