Superfriends Batman

Superfriends Batman

DC Multiverse - Mattel

Wal-Mart Exclusive

Na na na na na na na na - BATMAN!  Mattel has been getting away with using the same Batman buck for almost a decade, but who cares?!  It screams "classic" to me, like it leapt right from the pages drawn by Neal Adams or Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez!  Only Marvel Legends articulation whiners have a problem with this.  The articulation is fine and generally makes for more solid, realistic character translations.


This repaint has a darker "Superfriends" blue than earlier representations.  Other than that, he is pretty much the same.  He comes with a Batarang and Batgrapnel (repacked accessories) and a Superfriends stand and backdrop.








Oh, and how could I forget a key difference...the removable cape!  Just like the old Kenner Superpowers figures!  The "C" clip around the neck might look a little bulky, but oh the nostalgia!








Aside from that, what really sold me on the figure is that the cloth cape will allow him to fit in a number of the Batmobiles I own better than his plastic-caped counterparts.

"I'll get drive-thru."

This figure is a Wal-Mart exclusive and can be picked up for $16-20 depending on location.  Again, to some, this figure might be dated in more ways than one.  But they're stupid and wrong...he's awesome.

Batman...forever!
