Still one of my favorite toylines of all time. For Penguin's umbrella, it works like those "helicopter" tops. Twist it a few times, it'll wind up the spring and when you launch it, it should spin while flying forward. It's not perfect mechanism, because it is too heavy, and it tends to fly off in whichever direction. And you can store the whole contraption on Penguins back, the handle is a peg.
I love this! Please do more of these and the Mattel stuff from The Batman and Justice League if you can. Oh, and this Two-Face had a better attempt at his coin than the old ToyBiz first ever Two-Face figure did. It was like they cast a dime size coin in his hand. 😂 I remember searching everywhere for that Robin and the one Kenner reused from Batman Returns. Wish Kenner would have at least made this one a bit more accurate. Also what was their deal with not being able to use the color white? Two-Face’s suit. Joker’s face. It’s just odd. They got Joker’s face right in their Super Powers line. And, then later in this line when they did the version in the coat and hat. Two-Face also got a new sculpt later on complete with this partial white suit. I think it was based on the New Adventures season. Those figures I think got the looks down much closer. There’s a Penguin from that season too (May have been Mattel at that point). Only thing bad about the first batch of New Adventures figures was their lack of cloth capes. Thanks again for this. Sorry I’m late to it!
These are so iconic and timeless and look great even years later. I remember not being able to find Robin and how frustrated I was going from store to store and wanting him so bad.
The best BTAS figures video I've sen! Do you plan to cover ALL the waves, figures and vehicles? Including de Crime Squad ones? I'm specially anxious for a review of Skycopter Batman as well!
I had both Turbo Jet Batman and Penguin. My mom got them for my birthday, and I actually did lose the yellow missile a few days later and never found it. I wasn't too jazzed about Penguin, so that figure was lost to time. But I still have the Batman figure, though I eventually lost the other accessories too. I did want that Combat Belt Batman because it was the most screen-accurate figure in the line, and screen-accurate figures were hard to find back in the Kenner days of endlessly bright and crazy variants. And pre-internet, if you missed out on a figure when it was on the peg in the brick-and-mortar store, you were never going to get it.
I loved this line as a kid, and Combat belt Batman was my one Batman from this line. It drives me nuts it's literally the only "normal" Batman in this line....even when Mask of the Phantasm came out, they re-released him but in silver.. BTW, I never got Penguin's accessory to work as advertised either. But it worked well as a top. I would launch it on the ground and have it knock over Robin.
Was the tri man batman figure in the animated series. I found the figure at a little junk store and he was in great condition so I bought him and he's missing the firing mechanism that goes above his head. I'll probably look for a package when I complete one, but I'm trying to find where he fits in to the story either in a comic or the animated series. Do you know? 😉
When you flipped the cape off of batmans face It took me back the an acid flashback
That medallion that came with Two-Face was a reuse of Kenner's Robin Hood Prince of Thieves line. It came with the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Makes a no sense with Twoface
I guess they were going for a coin type of accessory. Strange for sure. @@ToyShiz

I do love me a Retro Shiz. 👍

I really liked the video. But I love your enthusiasm and positivity.
I was watching your Spider-Man TAS videos, always thinkin...man, I need some review like this with Batman...and here you go 😍
I have been hoping you’d retro shiz BTAS for ages
I was gonna say the some thing 🎉
Man, going from Ghostbusters to Dark Knight Collection to Returns to this and Star Wars, Kenner got a LOT of my parents’ money as a kid.
R.I.P Kevin Conroy😪
And Richard Moll.

Massive BTAS fan here. I have everything in this video. Even have 2 combat belts
This year I finally got a Combat Belt Batman. Crown jewel of my Batman collection.

I remember the first two waves were put out on the market at the same time. I never saw combat belt Batman in stores though.
Fantastic line, I had a lot of these carded, I sold them many years ago 💪😫and regret it every day.

The Riddler (?)
Wow 🔥🔥🔥🦇👏🤯
Such a beautiful line
I always thought that the turbo glider robin would have gone great with the air attack Batman from the batman returns line.
I was also lucky enough to get a combat belt fresh off the shelf in 1992

Which figure?
JSYK: Kenner used Two Face's body mold to make the Xanatos (Gargoyles) that came with the car.
Are you gonna do them all like you did Spiderman??? :-)
2:35 Batbunz 😂
That rocketeer Batman looks like he has a mullet when you look at it head on 😂
Cool figs, they´re part of my collection too... but not the variants, I don´t like them at all :)
You forgot the hoverbat
🙄 no I didn’t.
But thanks for watching
Thats from 1993 not 1992.
Back seat watcher here😂😂
