Wassup everyone. I just wanted to post on here my new Batman Returns figures I just bought. I usually only collect wrestling figures...but I went to a comic book store and the guy was selling the complete collection from the Kenner Batman Returns set. Does anyone remember these figures?? They were released in 1991-92. They aren't the best figures in the world...but for me they hold alot of sentimental value. My uncle and I use to collect them when I was little and he was the reason I got into figure collecting in the first place. He just recently passed away and I bought these figures to forever remember him by. Tell me what you guys think...  |

I love that the Penguin figure is the same one they used for the Super Powers line.

Congrats on the NEW collection. Batman is my all time favorite super hero, So I have ALOT of batman stuff. I still have a few loose Batman figures from Batman Returns. I know I have "Bruce Wayne",Catwoman,Peguin,Deep Dive and Arctic Batman". Maybe a few others. Those figures are awesome though. Wonder why they made a robin for that series when he wasn't in the movie?

I think I had over half of those when I was little. I know collectors always complain about all the different Batman, Spider-man and Wolverine figures that make no sense (jungle attack Batman and deep dive Batman) but when I was little, they were badass. I can only imagine that most kids like the different ones like I did and that is why companies make them.
Nice finds mang, I would love to display some of those in my collection.

Yeah, I always wondered that about Robin too...but then if you really wanna get technical with it...almost all of the Batman figures they made in this set weren't in the movie either...but I think it woulda been awesome to see Batman dress up in some of the outfits they gave him in this set. |

Love the collection. It would take alot of will power for me to not open those up. I love it though. I agree with the guy above, alot of people complain about too many different kinds of batman and junk but I didn't care when I was little. I didn't even have anything to look forward too. What I saw in the store was all I new existed, those were good times...now i go hunting for some figures and become dissappointed

I had quite a few of these figures. I had the gold Batman for sure. I also had Penguin and Catwoman and Robin but Robin broke soon after I got it.

Sweet, I used to have Catwoman and she was cool.
Now what I have from Returns is the Selina Kyle and Catwoman cubrics, Batman and Catwoman 12inchers and a die cast of Penguins duck ride.

The toy line that got me into Batman...good to see it again.
I liked the movie-accurate costumes of Batman mostly - Crime attack and Shadow Wing were two of my faves. But the Sky Winch figure was good for a comin-book accurate scheme, I thought.
Bruce Wayne, as mentioned above, was a great figure. The most accurate transforming Batman figure there ever was, in my book.
Catwoman, Robin, and the completely non-movie accurate Penguin were also cool figures.
The thing with all the Batman costume variants for me were always the accessories. I'd have a box full of Bat-Gadgets from various figs, and use them on my black Batman.
...Makes me want to dig up my old Wayne Manor/Batcave Command Center, and the Batmissile Batmobile. And maybe the Robin Jet Foil and Penguin Umbrella Jet, while we're at it.

But now the hunt continues for the Deluxe Electronic Exclusive Batman figures that also came in this set... |

I bought a lot of those when I was little. I also had a bunch from the first movie. The first movie had two different lines if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, the coolest part about buying multiple Batman figures was to acquire all of the gadgets.

Anyway, the coolest part about buying multiple Batman figures was to acquire all of the gadgets. You're speaking of the infamous Dark Knight collection. Very similar to the Batman Returns set. Alot of the same Batman figures were used in both sets (i.e Bruce Wayne, Shadow Wing, Crime Attack) it was produced in 1989 by Kenner and also had the very rare Knock-Out Joker figure which is very hard to find MOC. |

Great collection I managed to score the same figures moc of ebay for a grand total of $25 about a year or two ago. Its a shame they used the dc superpowers penquin instead of giving devitto his own mold. These were much better than toybiz batman.

Those damn Penguin Commandos flooded the shelves till long after "Forever" was released. |

But I do agree with you on the whole Penguin's goons issue. I would have loved to see the motorcyle riding skull headed thugs, gun-wielding killer clowns, poodle lady, fire-breathing devil, sword-swallower, or the organ grinder. Even a Max Shrek figure would have been amazing. Or perhaps an Ice Princess, Selena Kyle, Commissoner Gordon or Alfred figure as well. |
