Welcome back to what is turning into a recurring column, wherein I look at Batman toys from yesteryear and judge them (almost) solely on pictures I find on the internet. There's hardly a character out there with more action figures based on them than the Dark Knight himself, so there's plenty of toyetic goodness to…
DC Collectibles presents the 99th statue in its Batman Black & White line: Batman by Doug Mahnke. This gravity-defying statue features Batman in mid-leap with his grappling gun at the ready. Showcasing Mahnke’s extensive work on Batman from the early 2000s, the Batman Black & White line wouldn’t be complete without a statue by this…
Atop one of Gotham City’s gargoyled rooftops, a duel for the ages is happening between Batman and Deathstroke in this all-new DC Collectibles battle statue. Batman defies gravity as he teeters on the edge of the gargoyle, armed with claws of batarangs, ready to defeat Deathstroke.

From comic book to 3-D polyresin statue, this piece is a real testament to the impact a comic can have…
Gotham is a dense, sprawling city with tall buildings, busy highways, and dark alleys. In his quest to protect the city, sometimes he needs a vehicle which can go where the Batmobile cannot. Enter the Batcycle. It’s maneuverable, stylish, and capable of tremendous speed – what more could a crime fighter hope for when taking…
Mondo has entered the collectible Batman figures game with a 12-inch Dark Knight inspired by Bruce Timm's artwork from Batman: The Animated Series. As a company, Mondo has a reputation for stellar posters and vinyl records that sell out in a flash, so it came as no surprise when their first foray into Batman figures…

I'm repeating myself and at least half of Batman fandom when I say this, but Batman: The Animated Series was amazing, not least because of Mark Hamill's definitive performance as the Joker, and the introduction of cultural phenomenon Harley Quinn. Kotobukiya—a company known more for its statues based on comic and film interpretations of these characters,…
The Joker looks dapper and dangerous as he rides high atop his own maniacal laughter, a unique and integrated base built of actual “HA HA HAs.” Display the Clown Prince of Crime proudly at home, work or wherever you want to show your crazy side.

As I've no doubt mentioned elsewhere, I have an interesting history with DST's Vinimates line. When I first started working with the company on reviews, I told them not to send any, because I thought they were gross. Oh, how far I've come! At this point, I think I like them as much as I…
Batman is the best, and for many, Batman: the Animated Series is the best Batman. As a great big fan of the series, I was delighted when Diamond Select Toys sent some of their resin busts last year. Until you see one of these things in real space, you might think—as I did—that they're lesser versions…
"Techno tried to defile the metal, but techno was proven wrong. Metal, it comes from hell." --Tenacious D The DC Designer Series Greg Capullo Batman statue from DC Collectibles is as metal as polyresin gets. There’s just nothing else out there quite like it. In fact, it’s the only statue ever made to truly capture…
DC Collectibles just released the Red White & Black Harley Quinn by Jae Lee, a 7.47-inch poly-resin statue based on the artist's cover to Harley Quinn: Our Wolds at War (2001). This statue is limited to only 5,000 pieces, and it comes with a very nice looking "Harley Quinn" logo base for added stability as well…
The original Joker figure from DC Collectible's Batman: The Animated Series line had a head sculpt that failed to capture the Clown Prince's iconic visage, and in my opinion it's the one toy that's the least worth your money from the entire collection. So it's a pleasure to report that the newly released Joker Expressions…
On the magnetic strip in this cassette tape, lives the greatest song ever written, The Night Begins to Shine! Influenced by the sounds of the '80s, it was 40% written by Carl Burnett, 40% by Franklin Enea, and a sweet, sweet 20% by William J. Reagan. The song that spawned episodes that spawned a cultural…
