Action League Review: Batman with Batcopter

without comments

It’s amazing that for a guy who dresses up like a bat and has more money than Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne can design anything but only under a single condition: it must have the word bat in the name. I mean, who else can build a submarine or a motorcycle from scratch?

Batman is Gotham City’s crime fighting eye-in-the-sky piloting his high-tech Batcopter!

Review: Batman the Brave and the Bold Action League – Batman & Scarecrow

without comments

These tiny heroes are addicting! While I don’t watch the cartoon these toys are based on, there’s something alluring about these guys. But I think I know what makes me love these figures so much: they look like they belong in The New Frontier!

Toy Review: Batman the Brave and the Bold Action League – Black Lightning & Wildcat

without comments

It’s always a rare treat when Mattel makes a two-pack in the action league line that not only includes two new figures, but also two brand new sculpts.

Batman the Brave and the Bold Action League is often compared to Hasbro’s Super Hero Squad, and with good reason. Both are highly-stylized figures of classic superheroes that are sold in either two-packs, vehicle sets or in collector packs. Toys R Us got their own exclusive 6-pack of Action League figures that features five repacks and one exclusive figure!

Toy Review: Batman the Brave and the Bold Action League – Batmobile with Batman vs Clock King

without comments

While I’ve said there are universal truths when it comes to toys, there is one I haven’t touched upon yet: the sheer awesomeness of the Batmobile. It’s one of those toys every boy should have while growing up, and thankfully this toy mostly lives up to the legacy that I remember going back to the Batmobile that was released with the Tim Burton film. But while this one is in the style of the Brave and the Bold, it is an excellent representation of what the Batmobile should be.

Time is running out and Batman must use every device in the arsenal of the Batmobile to stop the insane machinations of the Clock King!
