The only Batman Forever figs I liked were the Guardians of Gotham City 2-pack because they were mostly film-accurate (I still have my original MOC somewhere). Even as a kid, I couldn't understand why the toys didn't match the movie, especially after the Batman: The Dark Knight Collection/Batman Returns Batman looked just like Keaton's Batman (with white eyes). Kenner/Hasbro was all about selling toys when it came to those Batman movies, but then the toys they released were their own thing. Crazy haha Mostly based on concepts...like Mr Freeze from Batman & Robin...nothing like Arnies final product. Bane too...although that worked well because we got a killer comic accurate Bane in scale with the Super Powers line... Bane was definitely the best Batman and Robin fig, even if it wasn't movie accurate. Surprisingly I've never bought that Bane. It's been on my list for 24 years haha

I ended up selling it a few years ago along with a Batman and Robin DVD. đź’ż

I came here to say I ordered the Nicholson Joker from Dynamic Heroes, which I’m floored is going to exist, but I am pleasantly surprised by all of the Kenner talk. The reason the mass sets weren’t accurate is because they’re based off of concept art drawings of the characters and not the movie looks. Then the follow up waves/2-packs, which came out much later, were based more off of the actors. Not everyone, they never updated the heads on Poison Ivy and Batgirl for instance, but Riddler and Mr Freeze both got movie accurate updates beyond the initial releases, and they’re some of my favorite Kenner figures of all time.

The best Batman & Robin Batman figure was the Fuji Film exclusive. They released it again in the JLA line with a different head.

I bought the Fuji Film Batman a couple years ago. It's definitely the best Bats. I'm curious now what the JLA one looks like, as I can't picture it right now.
And I remember the later, better releases for Forever and B&R, especially jumpsuit Riddler and Arnold Mr. Freeze.
What's cool is, as punk showed above, with all the releases considered, you can get a pretty good representation for most of the movie versions from all the films.

Basically it’s the same figure but in a charcoal grey suit with the Cyber-Link Batman head.

So the rest of my Amazon preorder for the McFarlane 3 Jokers wave was supposed to be here Dec 2. But they along with the Reverse Flash were delayed until Dec 20. Today I woke up to multiple delay emails saying they are all delayed until Jan 19 now. This is really getting old and annoying.

I didn’t see an email but my Amazon is set up with an email account that stuff gets buried easily. I looked after seeing this post at my order status through the app, which typically has stuff rearranged in the order it is expected to arrive. The Clown is still in one of the top spots like it is going to come Monday but now has that same January date. The Criminal, which was ordered together but now split, is moved down jn the middle of the section that should be late January but still lists as “Arriving Monday”.

My Criminal still says Monday and is still on top of my order page. All the others dropped past TDKR figures which are Jan 4 and the Gotham game Nightwing which is Dec 31. So I am sure those will all be dropping on those two dates. lol
