2 Pack on Card
Click For A Larger View (39K)
This bootleg is in the same line as the nine inch and Five Inch solo-Superman offerings. This time, however, Batman has been added into the mix. This two pack closely resembles the Kenner Batman/Superman Cyber-Link two pack, at least in package design. In fact, the artwork of Batman and Superman has been lifted directly from the licensed toy.

The bootleg has printing on only one side of the card, as usual. The only printing besides the Superhero logo is a child warning label:
Warning: Choking Hazard - Small parts, Not for Children under 3 years.
and a
FOR AGES 4 AND UP
info line.

The hanger is a US-style punch-hole, as opposed to a Canadian-Cresent hanger.

2 pack Superman The Superman figure (at left), is the same as the one offered in the Superhero Single Pack. He is cast from a Batman-Animated Anti-Freeze Batman in grey plastic with silver and blue highlights. The cape is from the Man of Steel Superman figure, so it doesn't really fit the Batman-shoulders. The head is also from the Man-of-Steel line, so it appears accurate. The S-Logo in the center of his chest is a sticker.

Superman comes with assorted weaponry from the Batman-Forever movie line figures.

2 pack Batman Unlike Superman's human looking head, the Batman figure is cast entirely from Animated Series molds. Again the Anti-Freeze Batman body is used, this time done up in black and purple, with red detailing on the belt and buckle.

The batman figure lacks a cape, but does come with a lavender battarang. Mine had come loose in the blister, but you can see the space provided for it to the left of the figure's head.

The Bat-Logo is again a sticker - very inexpertly applied on my copy.
