Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this Batman & Robin two-pack mainly because of the Batman figure. I also needed a Robin figure so that was another good reason for buying this set. The Batman figure that comes with this two-pack is one of my favourite representations of Batman in toy form ever.
Batman is superbly sculpted by the Four Horsemen (who used to work on the McFarlane figures) - all his muscles are well-defined but not so much that he looks constipated. To me, this Batman looks a lot like McFarlane's drawings, especially the long ears and large cape. The only problem I have with the sculpt is that I wish they had made his hands as semi-closed fists like the Mattel Zipline Batman. As they are, his hands cannot grasp the batarang he comes with.
The dark grey paint wash on the figure is also nice and the figure looks much better and more realistic than the original Mattel Zipline Batman figure because of it. The other main reason I wanted this particular batman figure was because of the huge wraparound cloth cape that came with it.
Other Batman figures either come with a rubber cape or a small cloth cape. However, one of the coolest things about batman in the comics is the way he is drawn with a massive billowing cape. The cape that comes with this figure will not disappoint! With the dark paint wash and the large cape this Batman would fit in well with the Dark Knight Movie Masters figures. The Batman figure is well-articulated but my only problem with it is that it lacks a hip joint.
The Robin figure, although not sculpted by the Four Horsemen, is still a good one. It is supposed to be the Tim Drake Robin and he has some nicely sculpted hair that is supposed to look like it's been gelled. The Robin figure could have done with some better articulation, especially hip joints.
Both figures come packaged in a very iconic pose and if you just want to display the figures I would recommend not taking the figures out of the package. I thought the Batman figure was too cool to leave in the package so I took both figures out. This was particularly complicated as Batman's cape was attached at particular points to the plastic packaging.
I highly recommend this two-pack for all Batman fans if you want modern Batman and Robin figures that still capture their classic comic look.
