Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman that defined the character for millions of fans the world over, has tragically passed away. In tribute to his incredible legacy and the body of work he leaves behind, today I have decided to celebrate what his performance meant to me by sharing my Batman: The Animated Series action figure collection.
This collection is not complete; it's my figures -- the ones that mattered to me. And with such an incredible library of voicework in animation and games inspiring toys over the years, I am also electing to focus only on the 5" scale lines by Kenner and Mattel.

Adam West and Kevin Conroy are still two of the greatest incarnations of Batman we ever had.
May they never be forgotten.
Oh, they never will. The Light Knight and the Dark Knight will go on forever.
@@5POAFigureReviews YES! The light and the dark😆. Your comment reminds me of not only MY favorite Batmans, but my only Supermans, Tim Daly and Christopher Reeve.
The second I heard he had passed, I grabbed my combat belt Batman.... he was from a Thrift Store.
So hard to get that figure now. Very happy you have it!
That Kenner Mr. Freeze Headsculpt is literally perfect, it captures the spirit of the character. I think it’s helped by his lack of a smile and they didn’t have to paint his eyes but I can just imagine hearing his cold robotic tone so easily.
I'm fairly certain that Mask of the Phantasm was my first-ever exposure to Batman. I remember seeing the VHS cover at a video store and thinking it looked cool. Renting it likely helped in starting my lifelong interest in Batman. Thank you for everything, Kevin Conroy
Wow! What an amazing introduction to Batman! Thanks for sharing your story.
You just gave a perfect eulogy that probably rivals what will or was said at Kevin Conroy's funeral at the end there. RIP Kevin Conroy, you will be missed, but every time someone watches the Batman the animated series, or plays Batman Arkham, we will remember how legendary he was.
Thank you so much, Brayden. I appreciate that.
Kevin Conroy was definitely my first Batman. He may have been my first superhero ever, honestly. I didn’t even know of the show, actually, I saw the action figure from Kenner in a toy flyer that got mailed to my house the same day I heard some kid talking about him at pre-k. It was a Combat Belt Batman, and I became aware of the show shortly after I got him. Like with most 90’s kids, the journey was made backwards into comics after first being introduced to Spider-Man and the rest of the big staples on Fox Kids, but Batman was always more special than the rest and, for me, Conroy’s take was definitely a huge part of that at the time.
Say what you want about the whole DC vs Marvel thing now, but Marvel will NEVER have a show (live action or otherwise) as good as Batman: the Animated Series, and for that matter, I don’t think DC will again, either.
Thank you for making this great tribute to Kevin, and cheers!
You're very welcome. Thanks for sharing your story!
Hearing his voice just brings back memories of times when animation and action figures was much more enjoyable. He pretty much set the standard for the Batman voice film or animation
he sure did
It was definitely a gut punch when he passed but you know what his animated series will live on he was a true Batman I used to love watching Batman every night when I'd come home from school the figures are great to have
Thanks we needed that.. Another great video. I met the man once at a Wizard World Chicago, and he was way nicer than i could ever imagine, so cool, i was in awe, couldn't think of anything to say to that big smile, but "great meeting you". He will be missed, especially for future Batman endeavors, but like you said, he will live on in our movies, games, shows, and our toys, as our Batman, always.
Thank you for the kind words, Marc, and for that wonderful story!
The Arkham games were the bomb. I played all three series. It's always so fun to play as Kevin Conroy.
I’m only 21 but luckily there was the Hub channel at the time so I was also able to come home after school & watch Batman: tas around 4 after doing homework. I still remember the chills I got they way Batman defeated bane lol. Sometimes they’d play the ‘66 batman series too. Arkham city just came out & we had that one legacy edition city batman figure with the traditional blue & grey colors & the yellow & black emblem…
With all of the batman content, toys & media at the time I was eating it all up; & with Kevin Conroy & Mark Hamill at the center stage of it all, this is a very detrimental blow on mine & the childhoods of the many fans of Kevin Conroy.
R.I.P.🙏💙
That's really awesome, thanks so much for sharing your story!
The Keeps bit got me. 😂Kudos to you for pulling a fast one 👏
Thanks! I was pretty proud of that one ha
R.I.P Kevin Conroy 🙏 and great overview and talk Jason he would of appreciated it 💯
Thank you. I once stood six feet from him and almost met him. I wish I had. I'll tell the story at some point. I tried in this video but it hurt too much.
@@5POAFigureReviews No problem Jason and yes forreal 😪
Sir you are as of now my favorite content creator and have re connected me with collectives ... Thanks for brighten a day that for me, has been very hard
Thank you so much! That meana a lot to me
What a lovely and fitting tribute. I am glad it came up in my recommended now. At the time I was just so bummed. Seeing it now really puts a smile on my face. Remembering the joy. Well done.
Thanks so much for sharing! I am very happy to hear that my video could bring you some joy.
Playing Arkham asylum for the first time made me break down cause I was so excited for the returning roles. I still play Arkham city on my 360.
I love and miss that man already
Same.
I think he is the only celebrity voice actor who has the most tribute in the world.
I cracked up so much at that Keeps bit. 🤣
Thanks! I am pretty proud of that one lol
Great overview of the figures.
The closing statement is very true.
Thank you so much
Great video. Kevin and all his contributions to the Batman legacy and just to improving peoples lives in his own way can’t be underscored enough🙏🏼
Thanks so much!
Yes, Kevin Conroy will always been remember as the dark Knight(Batman)
Yes I miss him too
That’s a good positive outlook
Thank you!
I got my DC Collectibles batman adventures figure and i keep it like treasure,never wanting to let go of it since he passed.
Nice Batman the animated series action figure collection
Thanks so much
I remember when I watched some Batman The Animated Series reruns when I was a kid. I’d always have a Batman toy with me re-enacting scenes…good times
Those were the days.
RIP KEVIN CONROY
Irreplaceable
Great video rip kevin😢
Thanks so much
Thank you for the video! I look forward to seeing more Kevin Conroy action figure showcases! He will always be my favorite Batman! I just read his DC Pride short comic and it was interesting to hear about the real life ties he brought to his portrayal. The comic was a little more specific than the interviews/podcasts he’s done over the years. Thanks!
You're so welcome! I've have seen him talk about it in interviews, but I haven't read the comic. I'll have to check it out.
@@5POAFigureReviews Cool, DC just made it free to read on the DC Universe app
My Batman then and still my Batman now. Whenever I see Batman talk it's Kevin Conroy's voice I hear. To me, he gave life to Batman. I can't stop playing "Am I Blue" RIP Kevin Conroy.
I don't think I can hear that yet.
@@5POAFigureReviews I'll send it to you on IG
Thank you for the video!
You're very welcome Pete!
Its sad his dead,and i dont know him so well but he will surely remembered florecer as the batman
SCRECR9W WAS IN THE ADVENTURES OF BATMAN 1969 BY FILMATION
True, and boy did he look silly lol
The Dark Knight is silent for now. It will come back, it will sound different. It will never replace the GOAT.
No, never replace.
Great video, definitely deserve a like
Thanks so much, Ed!
This video made me cry so hard
I believe crying is bleeding for the soul, flushing the inner wound so that healing can happen. If I could help you on that important step to moving through grief, I am grateful.
@@5POAFigureReviews look at that, we're still arguing about which one of us is more grateful xD
All seriousness, thank you so much Jason ^_^
I had some of these growing up. Unfortunately, many if not all of them got sold in a garage sale. Although thankfully, I've been doing a soft reboot of my collection since approximately summer 2004.
That's cool that you've been able to do that
@@5POAFigureReviews Thanks! :D
There’s a Mezco re-master of this line coming out!
Mezco? That's interesting. I'd be curious to see these characters with cloth good costumes
They should’ve made a condiment king and that bane impression made me laugh
Thanks! Yeah Condiment King would have been fun!
Funny how toys can overlap between people, as a kid ya never think about it
My cousin had that same bane, without the wrist clip and tube, but we used to use him so much. We had these ice ball things from some other toy we made him throw at batman.
Similarly the joker holding the card is a mold I had, mine was well loved and a ton of the paint is torn up, as a kid I used to pretend the card was a stick of gum and due to the soft face would make him bite it haha
Great childhood memories
Thanks for sharing, Jacob! Those are great stories.
Wonderful video, gonna pop in a DVD and have a bowl of cereal with my 3yr old
That sounds great!
The Killer Croc looks like Shrek
Ha! Yeah I guess he does lol
I have the entire collection all in the original packaging and never been opened
Oh wow, that's amazing!
about almost a year later and now the voice of Harley recently passed 💔
Yes, that one hurt a lot.
You deserve my sub for this!! SUBBED!! Ty ty!~
Thanks so much. You're very welcome!

Good line to get you sucked in!
I have batman joker Harley Quinn 1989 batmobile and batman forever batmobile

The old joker is beat up, yet the better mold, I got him mint compared to yours. I got the batman and Robin adventures plastic Cape batman, Robin kid and nightwing, best for the time. Good times!
