This first Bat Hero is about 10" or so tall. (That's a POTF2 Jedi Luke next to it for a size comparison.) It comes with a plastic sword(!) and an attached vinyl cape. As the closeup of the head (above) shows, this is not the highest quality figure ever produced. The figure comes boxed, with art lifted from the 1960's Batman comics. (Looks like early Jim Apro art to me)

The figure is articulated at the neck, shoulders and hips.


Bat Hero 2 Pack

Robin Closeup This two pack has a figures expanded from the Batman Crime Squad molds. These same molds were also used in the Mid-Sized Bat Hero figures.

This closeup shows the head of the "Companion" figure. The package design really obscures this bit of detail. A shame, really, as it's well done.
