Hey all!
I love Burton Batman... I love toys...It stands to reason that I love toys based on the Burton Bat-films, and you might too. :) So I figured I would use this thread to link off of all the reviews my sons and I do that are Burton Bat-centric.
First, here are our 2 Hot Toys Reviews-

Good stuff, as a kid I had figures by Toy Biz, but I love those images from Kenner you uploaded.
I had the ToyBiz Batman and Joker. My sister melted Joker on the cooker ring and my son now plays with Batman :-)
I loved that Dark Knight Collection from Kenner. Forget about that Toy Biz stuff, the Kenner line was the real tie-in with B89. I had a bunches of them. And I LOVED that Batmobile! The BR line was pretty comparable in terms of quality, except for the Penguin, which wasn't bad but wasn't DeVito-like at all, which ticked the 11 year old me off in a big bad way.
These Kenner action figures take me back to when I was a kid. I had a couple of Batman figures from both movies, like the arctic figure that could squirt water, the bat-looking scuba diva one and Robin, Joker and Penguin. I now wish I took better care of them. :-[
I knew that even at the age of seven that they didn't have the DeVito version as an action figure because of fear of causing controversy. Then again didn't Pfeiffer's bondage-wearing Catwoman had a figurine? :-[
The Batman Returns Hot Toys is long overdue.

do you expect to have the catwoman figure reviewed anytime soon? pretty please? :)

Great photos in that James!
hell yes! i love her. ;D
thank you! :)
The Penguin was just a repainted figure from an older toy line (even as a kid I knew that he looked nothing like the movie, what were Kenner thinking), but Catwoman was good.

I love these. Thank you for these pictures and the memories. My brother and I divided up the collection years ago, so between the two of us we still have them.
And I have a soft spot for Toy Biz, even as the question marks rubbed off the Riddler. I think they have the superior Joker figureover the Kenner figure. I could never get Bob:The Goon to stand up straight, though. :)
You are quite welcome greggbray! Glad you are liking them! ;D

James - I just kinda laughed when I saw how they altered Batman's ears in this photo. It makes no real sense... then I realized they sorta resemble the ears on the figures themselves. *smh*

Considering the time it was sculpted, I always thought that was a pretty good likeness of Keaton. I would love to see a Mattel Movie Master version now though!
I'm enjoying these posts, 1989Batmancom.
I actually have the Batman Dark Knight Collection Batcopter. Though it's not in as good condition as yours. :-\
Thanks for the kind words folks! :D
Today over at 1989Batman.com (http://"http://www.1989batman.com/") we take a look at the "Ultimate" Batman 14" figure from Kenner's Batman Returns line... including prototypes of this piece!

I've been re-collecting the various characters throughout the movie lines and finally plunked down enough (too much) cash for a Knockout Joker. Aside from the color scheme (Toybiz actually was the closest!) I think this Joker had the best overall appearance in relation to Nicholson.
On a whim, I recolored a couple of your toy pictures to make Joker and Penguin look a little closer to the films, hope you don't mind.
Definitely don't mind! Those look awesome! :)

For all you Kenner Batman fans out there... I just started a new feature over at 1989Batman.com! My friend and action figure customizer extraordinaire Matthew Hackley brings his immense talent to Kenner's Dark Knight Collection & Batman Returns lines! Fixing a few of the old mistakes, and adding new character to both lines... All in classic Kenner style! First up (of course) is one of the most glaring flaws of the old Kenner lines: A movie accurate Danny DeVito Penguin!
