Batman: The Animated Series "Bruce Wayne"(with Snap-on Batman Armour)

This figure I have fond memories of finding him in Roches Store in The Square Tallaght. I remember it well, cause the packaging was damaged and a piece of his armour was missing so it was discounted. The toys based on the Batman animated series are some of my favourite figures that I got as a kid growing up. This one came with a Bruce Wayne in his civilian clothes. It also has the pieces to put over him that make up his armour, with mine these include his cape with the cowl connected to this, chest and body piece, two arm covers and only one leg piece. You also got a bat shaped gun with him. Each of these parts of the armour clips on over the Bruce Wayne figure really well without showing too much underneath it.

The downside of these figures is that they come with very limited articulation. The arms and legs move up and down. The head moves from left to right but this is harder to move when you have the cape and cowl on. But even with this limited articulation, they are still some of my favourite figures to play with when I was growing up.

The figure looks like the Bruce Timm version of Bruce Wayne, he's got the classic chiseled chin and dark hair. His clothes that he is wearing as a civilian are really basic, it looks like a red jump suit with no details. It doesn't look anything like what he wore in the show but this doesn't really affect the playability of it. If you are a Batman fan or you liked the Batman: The Animated Series this should be the in your collection, just for the fun of being able to have Bruce Wayne and then to put on your bat armour when its time to fight crime in Gotham.

Video Reviews

This are some of the videos that I created awhile ago so I am posting these here so that people who didn't see them on youtube will watch them here. My plan hopefully is to do more videos if I do I will post them here on the blog.

I reviewed The Lightning Strike Batman (Batman Animated Series) and Avengers Captain America.

In this next review I took a look at some classic Spider-man and the Spider-man 2099 toy for the release of The Amazing Spider-man and I also did the Batman Mask of the Phantasm.

In the third review I talked about M.A.S.K Raven and also Marvel Universe Winter Soldier

In my last review I kept on reviewing some MASK stuff. I reviewed the Rhino this time and then I look at the Revoltech Hot Rod.

Thundercats 15cm Lion-o figure

The new version of Liono from the Thundercats 2011 series is a very different design from the original one. There are some parts of the design that they kept but they gave him a much more colourful and elaborate scheme. When you open your box of the figure, you see that you get lots of extra parts. You get the Sword of Omens in its large version and its smaller dagger version. You also get a closed claw shield and open claw for when he is wearing it. The Sword of Omens fits inside either version of the claw while in dagger form. You are also able to take off either the right or left hand. This is where one of my problems comes up because these are very tight and I feel its going to break any time I try pull it off. They probably will not break but they are very tough to remove and even harder to get back on because of the bending nature of the wrist.

Liono has lots of articulation, you can get some great poses with him. The only problem that I have with this aspect of this figure is because of the way the shoulder pads are designed and placed on him. Its makes it a lot harder to make him posed doing the "eye of omens" from the show. The paint job on this figure is great in most places but I found it lacking in other aspects. All the colours on the body armour look great, there are paint problems on the version I have. The only problem that I see and this is just my opinion is that I find the paint work on his face lacking. I think it is not really detailed enough and is very plain looking.

I would highly recommend if you are a fan of the Thundercats to pick it up. I got this from my local Smyths toy store were they were doing a buy one get one free on the figures, along with the classic figure too. I have just picked up two more from this series. So you can look forward to a review of both the Mumm-Ra and Panthro toys.

Introduction

Hi my name is Brian. For awhile I was doing some video reviews but I had some problems with editing them so I have decided that I will be doing my reviews as a blog. After awhile I may do more video style ones but they will also be posted here along with a text based review. I will also post any pictures of new purchases that I get. And also I will be giving reviews on places were you can buy new toys and even old nostalgic toys.

I may also use this blog to voice my other interests which include comics, movies and tv shows.
