The Many Toys of the Dark Knight

The Many Toys of the Dark Knight


In may 1939, the world was introduced to a new comic hero.Drawn by Bob Kane and written by Bill Finger, Batman immediately captured the attention of fanbase clamoring for something different.What differentiated Batman from other contemporary heroes was the fact that he did not possess any superpowers.Batman fought crime relying on a combination of wit, technology, physical prowess and intimidation striking fear into the hearts of the underworld.Batman's popularity easily transferred into a number of films, television series and toys throughout the decades since his debut.It is no surprise that Batman has produced more action figures than almost any other fictional character.Mego Corporation would be the first to produce toys based on the Caped Crusader.In 1972, Mego secured the rights to produce Batman toys for National Periodical Publications(later DC Comics) and Marvel Comics.Mego would go on to produce a complete line of DC and Marvel action figures under the title "World's Greatest Super Heroes"!".The entire line lasted for a decade between 1972 and 1983 and included a host of popular Batman characters.The line was also expanded to include the popular 1966 Batman tv series with the Batmobile, Batcycle and playsets such as the Batcave.As Mego went out of business in 1984, the Kenner toy company took up the popular DC comic character line and modelled it after their popular Star Wars line making them 5" in scale.In 1990, the Warner Bros feature film Batman release created a demand for Batman toys and Kenner quickly released a line of movie toys which included several versions of Batman, the Joker and the Batmobile.Kenner would also release future Batman toys in line with the subsequent release of Batman movies.Eventually, Kenner would be bought out by Hasbro who would release a line of toys based on the animated series, The New Batman Adventures.The new line dubbed "Mission Masters" created a cartoon look for the Dark Knight which was well received.Over the next few years, Hasbro would release a number of successful Batman lines based primarily around the DC Comic.However, in 2003 Hasbro would relinquish control to Batman's rights to Mattel.Mattel's strategy would also be to release a Batman animated line based upon the WB animated series which would feature more articulation than the previous line.With a new Batman movie released in 2008, the Batman franchise was rebooted and a whole new line of Batman toys were created to mimic the look of the movie characters.However, the film's main villain, The Joker, bore little resemblance to the Heath Ledger character, displaying a simple cartoon like face and not the psychotic look in the movie.A 6 inch line was also produced dubbed The Dark Knight Movie Masters.The first iteration dubbed Wave 1 was of particular popularity and became difficult to find in stores.The Joker figurine became high in demand due to Heath Ledger's death.Throughout the years, Batman has enjoyed the support of major toy licensees eager to produce the latest version of the Dark Knight.This is not surprising, given the Batman's popularity and crossover appeal.With major motion pictures and video games scheduled to be released in the near future, there is no doubt that Batman toys will continue to have a place amongst old and new collectors alike.

...and the result is quite worth the price. After a botched attempt by Art Asylum to provide Batbricks to the masses, the LEGO folks, in their infinite wisdom of all things building-blocky, quickly snapped up one of the crown jewels of action-toy licenses. The first wave should fulfill expectations neatly: the Batboat, the Batplane, a neat little Batdragster, and of course, the featured set on this page, the Batmobile.

This set, in fact, features two vehicles - the Batmobile, which bears a slight resemblance to its 1989 film incarnation, and a two-tone customized armored car - and three figures - Batman in a black suit reminiscent of Michael Keaton's time under the mask, a Bruce Timm-inspired Two-Face complete with a two-tone and two-style hairpiece(!), and a henchman in a two-tone shirt. There's also a crossing gate meant for the two vehicles to smash through in pursuit, though most of the kids likely to take an interest in this set will probably chuck that thing first... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Batman sets, March 10, 2007

The price for the value of this set is the best among all of the Batman Legos, we own four of the six. The batmobile and Two-face's armored car are excellently designed and quite sturdy, ready for a child's rough play without constantly falling apart. The instructions are very well done and simple enough for children to follow. My only complaint is that most of the blocks are black so it makes following the instructions a challenge because many steps simply disapear in the blackness of the picture so be sure to build in a well lit area to avoid eye strain. While the base models are quite nice, the uniquenes of the legos open up new possibilities that help develop your child's creativity by giving an outlet to their superhero dreams. If your child likes Batman and Lego's like my own then this is a can't miss set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lego Batman The Batmobile: Two Face's Escape, June 1, 2012

This review is from: LEGO Batman - The Batmobile: Two-Face's Escape (Toy)
This is a very good set. I had wanted this set for a long time and finally got my hands on it in 2009. It was well worth the search. This set has 3 minifigures, Batman, Two Face, and Two Face's Henchman, all of which are very nice. They are much better than the current Batman minifigures, in which, for example, Two Face, being Black and White in 2006, is now orange and purple 6 years later, 2012. Anyway, this set is one of the better Batman sets, and has two vehicles, a road barricade, and a wierd thing with a chain on the end. The Two Face truck is very well built, and has a very nice color scheme of white and a dark gray. In the set, the truck, which is suppossed to be heavily armored, has, on either side, small guns that fold out and take aim at enemies. This was a very clever idea of Lego, and adds to the amount of options that come with this set. On the armored truck, there is also a little feature on the back of the truck, there is a white circle that, when pushed, sends Two... Read more

I have always loved Legos since I was a little kid and to share this with my son is a joy you have to experience to understand. He loves Batman and Robin the Lego series video games so when I surprised him with the actual thing, he was beside himself. He plays with them all the time and has them neatly displayed on his shelf along with a few other Batman minifig characters I bought for him.

I wish Lego would bring back all the super hero Lego sets so they don't have to cost so much to replace but seeing my sons face and watching him play with them was worth it.
