Kenner Line of Batman Figures

Inspired by the timeless DC comics, the Legends of Batman action figure collection features the dark super hero as he's never been seen before - stronger and more muscular - battling crime throughout time.

His sonic blaster and armored cowl make him a force to be reckoned with! Together, Batman and Nightwing can take on any villain in Gotham City.


Kenner: Batman the Animated Series
Robin Figures [1993-1995]

The majority of new licensing for 1993 revolved around Batman: The Animated Series on Fox. These figures, based on the animated characters, were extrememly faithful to their cartoon counterparts.

In the series, the most significant change was the transformation of the Dick Grayson/Robin character in the "new" 90's costume, resulting in a hipper more adult representation which the character has never seen. The Batman character continued to embody the dark image fans have come to love while maintaining the heroic qualities identified with the character.

Robin figures included Dick Grayson/Robin, Bola Trap Robin, Ninja Robin, Robin and Ski-Blast Robin.


Kenner: The New Batman Adventures
Crime Solver Nightwing [1998 Relaunch]

While 1997's "Batman & Robin" theatrical release - the fourth film in the popular franchise - enjoyed less-than-spectacular domestic box office and critical success, Kenner's action figure adaptations of the Dark Knight Detective are buoyed by strong collector and mass-market interest.

In 1998, Kenner has no less than four different Batman segments ready to hit toy shelves, featuring all-new versions of the Caped Crusader, his crimefighting allies and colorful rogues gallery. Fueled by all-new episodes of the "The New Batman Adventures" animated series, seen weekdays and Saturdays in tandem with the new Superman cartoon series on Kids WB, Kenner reinvigorates its animation-based segment with the inevitable Bat-variants, these play-enhanced versions of Batman: Silver Defender Batman, Detective Batman, Jet Wing Batman, Road Rocket Batman and Undercover Bruce Wayne, all reflecting the new animated episodes' depiction of Batman.

Joining Batman in his crusade against crime is Kenner's new Crime Solver Nightwing, Battle Shield Nightwing and Crime Fighter Robin, a more diminutive, Tim Drake version of the boy wonder. Batman vs. Two-Face promises a villain for the hero, as does the promised release of the first Mad Hatter action figure and brand new Wild Card Joker.

Kenner: The New Batman Adventures
12" Nightwing Figure [1998]

The animated Batman series is upsized for an all new assortment of 12" figures based on The New Batman Adventures. Batman, Nightwing and the redesigned Joker were the first wave of the series. The second wave included Batgirl, Robin and Harley Quinn.

The Nightwing figure is fully posable in a cloth costume, with two billy club sticks, three bird-o-rangs and night goggles.
