Just found this channel, really great summary of this playset and its history of reissue. I had the Returns one as a kid and loved it, but even then I recognized that the gimmicks and scenery were much closer to 89 than Returns. Great work with the 3D prints, I'm actually building a big Batcave diorama for some eventual stop motion and I tried to recreate the entrance door from this set as a nice Easter egg haha. Great video!
I think I had the Animated Series version. The colors look closest to what I remember. My mom is the coolest. She couldn't always afford to get me what I wanted when I was kid, but she did when she could. Getting me this was one of the things she was able to for Christmas that year. I really wish I could have taken better care of my toys like this Wayne Mansion toy set.
@@gofigure6251 They do! She even got me the Batman Forever Batmobile. The way it the engine lit up was the coolest thing I had ever seen as a kid, lol. That one more than anything was one I wish I kept. I've been watching the Drew Carey Show on Plex streaming and I just saw the episode where Drew wins that Batmobile. Batman nostalgia is hitting hard lately, lol. I also had a few assorted Batman figures from Batman & Robin.
What a brilliant video Adam! So much fun watching the creative process and then all the pieces intricately come together ❤️ Love these original Toy Biz and Kenner toys 😊
I really appreciate the love and it's always fun making videos like this! Isn’t it great we can all come together out of a mutual love for something!!!!
Ah the 3D printing is really revolutionary like when mp3 came out to change how we hear music forever,this is for creating something broken but also create new stuff with it as well! This bat cave also is really cool display showcase from the past to put your batman figures and stuff.I would love if megacostrux by mattel made something from this IP with smaller figurines,like they did with motu having those small action figures fitting almost perfectly in the scaling sections! Not to mention their really cool mini action figures which are the best small figurines mattel ever made! Cool stuff man thanks for sharing good times!
That was batastic and I sure bob the goon would have it a thumbs up when he get back from vacation. I agree when that movie came it took over the school yard and if you wasn’t wearing one those iconic tee you certainly would wished Batman would give you one. This might surprise you I wasn’t super into action figures as a kid I do recall seeing them but they just never spark my interest. However I did enjoy the movie and it made my local tv station to play reruns of the Adam west show and showed super friends after school. I pick up wayne manor in garage sale and I used it for background for a cobra base for my joes. It had a lot parts missing and I paid next to nothing for it. But again I enjoy watching you restore these loved sets bring back to life. Still maintain your using witchcraft 😊 but still keep up fabulous content friend
well i do have a question , 1) why did Kenner make the entrence the Granfather clock ? in the movie i thought it was a book case in the 60's and 89 movie ? and in returns it was an iron maiden ! so why a Granfather clock ?
also another idea was to make the door on the batsuit contianment unit look more safe like . i know in the first 89 movie it looked more like a safe seen in the link farm5.staticflickr.com/4914/32195736098_75207109dd_z.jpg and in returns more like a drawbridge door simular to the one on the toy where the bat logo goes being a window to the suits in batman Returns . however i do like the safe looking one better :) if there was a way to make one for the kenner batsuit contianment unit that would be epic :)
That's amazing! What programs do you use for the 3d print files and the stickers? I'm thinking of restoring my toybiz batcave and getting a cheap kenner one to make into a giant batcave display along with making a full Axis Chemicals setup and some Joker goons (as a kid I had to use a Winston Zeddemore figure as the belltower goon)
Thanks for the vid. I'd like to ask you how you do head sculpts. One of my friends voiced Robin and Nightwing for Batman The Animated Series. He's been a big brother to me for 20 yrs. His name is Loren Lester. I want to make a Nightwing figure with his head, and a head sculpt that can go a 7 inch McFarlane. Another friend played another superhero, that never got a toy. So, it would be cool for him to have. Of course, I want to make copies for my son too.
Remake the old (real)Starwars toy line with only minor modern changes like we had with MOTU and actually send the toys out in the shops all over the world. Go into partnership with other toy companies so we can have toys for kids again in real shops.. Give us M.A.S.K.Bravestar,Thundercats,G.I.joe,Starcom,The real ghostbusters and many More old toy lines back and give modern children a chance to play with quality toys and watch quality cartoon series based on the toys,like we had in the 1980s. Robotech is something I would love Kenner to get as well and relaunch the line.
Amazing work as always never get tired of watching these
Excellent work!
Thank you so much my friend
Fantastic video! It turned out so awesome
Holy restoration Bat-proclamation Batman! 😀
Couldn’t have said it better myself
Man I love that version of Batman! I just gave my brother a set of the cards from the movie. Great video, threw this one on my big screen
Oh man that’s awesome, I think this is on the list of movies to watch at RONCON o. June!

Awe thank you for your kind words! I would LOVE to see the batcave you are building it sounds brilliant

What a great story!!! When parents make magic happen on Christmas it’s literally magic

I want it on my desk now!!
Right!!! It’s so much fun!
Great work, I’ve had that exact idea and you’ve inspired me to complete mine.
That’s awesome man I’d love to see the final result!
Absolutely incredible work Adam! Awesome video dude!
Thanks buddy! I really appreciate it! Your opinion is high on my list!
You have skills
Thank you so much…. It’s so fun

You are 100% correct!! Thank you for the kind words! And I agree a mega construx version of this would be incredible!!
I just bought one! Wanted one since I’m a kid!! Amazing playset.
Sadly mines missing the rails too. :(
Amazing!!! They are perfection!
Very nice restoration! I bet the plan was for kids to put cold water in the vat to react with the Joker's color changing face.
Yup exactly
I had the animated series reissue as a kid
I have that one as well right underneath this one in my display… it’s great! I actually like the yellow railings it came with the best.
Omfg I had this, it was the best scene setup toy I had
It really did it all didn’t it

Awe thanks so much…. Yeah these playsets can really be great for any figures!!!
perfect as always, Adam! although you should have put 10:47pm on the clock...
I know, I know… I regret
All the Easter eggs I left behind
I had one of these as a toddler. It was really for my dad, I just got to play with it. Thank you for the nostagia
Glad you enjoyed!!!

I’m
Not sure myself I contemplated adding a Shakespeare bust but maybe in the next video
@ yeah cool idea :)

I love the sound of this project!!!! I just use PowerPoint to make the stickers and flash print to design 3D things…. Simple programs but so much fun!
My favorite was the comic accurate Iron Winch Batman
Yeah that’s a pretty cool
One, that costume was the best part of the flash movie
I got 300th 👍
And it’s super appreciated!!
Thanks for bringing us along for the ride brother 🎉
I'm glad you enjoyed it, buddy! You can come along for all my rides!!
I was thinking to 3d printing parts for mine as well! Is there a way to access these files?
Shoot me an email Gofigurea@gmail.com and I’ll send them to you
@@gofigure6251 Thank you! Sent :D
@@gofigure6251 I emailed you too. I'd love to fix up my Batcave
I have a few toy ideas I need CAD work done for. I’d love to have my ideas 3-D printed. Could you point me in the right direction?
Yeah shoot me an email gofigurea@gmail.com
Darn it all, Notification 8 hours late? C'mon, YT! Okay, will watch after work... 😉😉😉
Can’t wait to hear what you think

That’s amazing! Shoot me an email at gofigurea@gmail.com
What programs are you using to model and make stickers
I’m just using PowerPoint to make sticker designs and flash print to 3D model simple programs but the work a treat
@ dude Im loving it!!! Great stuff cheers
I had that bat cave from batman returns. It was an amazing playset. I miss it
They are plentiful and not super expensive…. I say treat yourself!
Great video and customs! Any chance you're selling the prints or files?
Shoot me an email gofigurea@gmail.com
What about batman's penguin monitors?
Leave that one for the follow up video where I restore a Batmobile and batwing :)
Will Kenner ever come back? If so, what would you like them to have the rights to?
I’d love for hasbro to be collector toys and Kenner to be kids toys and I would love for them to create new IP instead of reissues and remakes
Remake the old (real)Starwars toy line with only minor modern changes like we had with MOTU and actually send the toys out in the shops all over the world.
Go into partnership with other toy companies so we can have toys for kids again in real shops..

Robotech is something I would love Kenner to get as well and relaunch the line.
i think the door to his suits was black?
It was silver but. I made this one gold to fit in better in the 1989 movie :)
