Here's a bootleg that been in the queue for quite some time. Guy Schoenenberger of England sent me the following photos.

Dark Hero

Anti-Crime Action Set

This first set, however, has all the items necessary to tie the line to a concept bootleg of Batman.

First up we have the card art. That's a very Batman-esque figure standing in front of a Batmobile (yes, I know it's hard to see from the photo. Trust me on this one.)

Next we have the toys themselves....Batma..er...Dark Hero and his car, the Batmobi...er...Darkmobile.

All the items come blistercarded to a single sided backer.

Let's start by taking a closer look at the Batman figure.

Dark Hero

He's also got a nifty cape, complete with Bat-Fringe. The rest of the costume, however, isn't really very batman-like. It's full of sharp angles and boxy details. He's articulated at the shoulders and hips.

He comes with a variety of pistols and rifles, all still attached to the sprue. You can see them to the left of the figure in the detail above.

The Darkmobile

I can't tell you a lot about it, as I've only seen the images here, but it looks to have a red-plastic cockpit and is probably a free-rolling toy.
