1989 DC Toy Biz - Batman
Go! Games and Toys
The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...
This one was always one of my favorites, especially after I saw the first Batman movie.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the smaller head sculpt but its nice to have either variation.Both are pretty iconic on the strength of the film.
DeleteI'm not sure I ever saw the smaller head sculpt at retail. I just seem to remember the ol blockhead version.
DeleteI would have much prefered they came out with the same Super Powers Batman mold and painted it black like the original pic had!
ReplyDeleteThat would have been cool too.
ReplyDeletevery cool! ...a classic I'd like to find
ReplyDeleteThat whole line was pretty awesome ,Colin.The figures all had neat little gimmicks and accessories.
