I LOVE these Batman variants! I'm younger, so in stores Christian Bale was the Batman I saw, but thankfully I had some older toy stores and comic shops to visit, and at a comic shop in Chillicothe Ohio my brother and I got a few of these Michael Keaton figures. The gold, black, blue and white ones specifically. I can never remember the names but I ADORE them. I've gotten more as a collector, with my favorite probably being the green and black jungle repaint. Batman is so toyetic, and I LOVE it! Great vid man!!
People that didn't grow up during this era may not see the appeal, but these were a HUGE deal in the 90s. And it's so rare now to see out-of-the-box thinking and crazy imaginative designs like this directly from a toy company not based on anything else. The reuse of the molds was actually an advantage for play time, since unlike most Toy Biz figures, you weren't permanently hampered by some built-in gimmick. The gimmick was essentially optional, and you still had an awesome Batman figure regardless with really no compromises. But there was a serious villain shortage in this toy line lol. It wasn't uncommon to just see the Batman aisle with nothing but Batmen. Typically playtime was just Batman vs whatever other figures you had.
The NECA Tec-Shield Batman repaint from a few years ago was a total must have because of my nostalgia for that original figure. Glad to see I am not the only one! Great video! Glad to see more Toysplosion on the channel!
i had every toy vehicle and playset in these lines. even the 15 inch returns batman. i ate the cereal from the batman returns cereal and day dreamed of getting everything in the toylines. i hope dc multiverse revisits some of these like air attack batman
Love the video , my favorite Batman was and still to this day is Deep Dive Batman.I still have him to this day about 50% complete.I love all the variants Kenner gave us no matter how wild they are, to me it showed that Batman could do anything and was unstoppable.
Cool memories and cool video. I still have my childhood Tec-Shield Batman including the backpack and (I think) cape. But that’s probably because I’m a few years older and not long after this I only collected to collect and display. So, he didn’t see heavy play before he was relegated to a box and the occasional diorama.
My favorite back then was the one that came in white and black one. I think he had some kind of ice gimmick and he had a type of cold suit or something that went over him. It's been years but the solid white really stuck with me. So much in fact that even today I want a figure released that does this again. I would buy an arctic white Batman in modern sculpt today in a second.
I loved that they looked like Keaton. Face and armor. You really could create your own Burtonverse with these figures. I just pretended the DC Superheroes Flash was John Wesley Shipp
I’ll always have a soft spot for weirdo toy variants. Sometimes it’s fun to dip into the kid oriented lines just to experience that. A shame the adult collector stuff doesn’t seem to capture that fun most of the time. Great video, Dan!
I had some many Kenner Batman toys as well! My parents always bring up how much I loved Batman but cried so hard when I "met" Batman at a video store. Thanks for bringing me back to those childhood memories, Dan! I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years!!
I wish you talked about how not only did they save money by re-painting batman, but that also a lot of stuff was stolen from silverhawks as well. Not only that, certain accessories like the claw on the end of the rope, are from OTHER batman molds, they just blocked off the channel and re-used the tip of a previous batmans missile for the claw. It was a top tier re-use of part line.
I loved these too as a kid. I definitely had at least three of them. The gold, the all white body Arctic one, and the 1989 movie one with the belt that comes out on a string. This is making me feel real nostalgic, and ready to start scouring eBay.
We must be similar in age. I remember the Christmas i got the Batman w/ retractable utility belt, Robin, the joker w/ color changing face, the batcave & the batmobile all at once. I don't really collect toys as an adult, antique & repro weapons are my thing but i do still like the nostalgia boost from watching. Thanks for that & Merry Christmas. God bless.
How many variants of Batman figures I had over the years, well I have the Toy Biz Batman from 89 (that I reluctantly gave to a friend but years later I bought at a local comic-con) I had the arctic assault batman, than I had the L.O.B. collection which included Crusader Batman (which I bought at my local comic shop back then when it used to be a comic shop) Cyborg Batman,Knightsend Batman and Viking Batman, I also had the Riddler as well. I also had two of the vehicles which included the Skybat and the Batmobile (which I still have till this very day) Thanks Dan.
I love imagining a batcloset with all these suits and devices! The wackier the better for me, like the Lego minifigs. For this Kenner line, I wish I had pictures of my toys, but the toys and ads seen in this video bring back memories of them. Some, I totally forgot like the Batskiboat (what a word)!
Kenner Super Power's, Keaton's and Conroy's are my most favourite Batman figures that time... my most favourite Keaton's is the Iron Winch Batman coz of it's classic comic colours.... I have the Air Attack Batman as well, still sealed on card, not sure whether to open it.... I also have the Jungle Tracker Batman...
Great vid Dan! Tec-Shield Batman was my first variant Batman as well, lol. I always did like that shiny gold suit. I tried to stick to the solid color variants but my little brother would always get the crazy ones, so I was able to play with both, lol. That Dark Knight line was awesome. Seeing that cross sell on the back brings back memories.
if I recall Air attack deco was so iconic even one of the Animated versions had a similar deco. not sure if the gimmick was the same but similar in look.
The wild variants are pretty fun! I had an orange Kenner Batman figure I loved as a kid. I think it was because Orange was my favorite color and Batman was my favorite super hero at the time
Kenner also released the exact same Air Attack Batman design on BTAS Lightning Strike Batman. They also reused this same tactics on the BTAS toy line too. It would be great if you do videos on Batman The Animated series toys too.
I collect the glow in the dark animated Batman line. It's called Mission Masters. There's an awesome glowing Mr Freeze. Also, Thanks Dan. Now I want a Batman Returns Penguin.
I can still remember the Christmas when I got all these. I also got the Batwing and Batmobile from Returns. The only thing I didnt get that year was the Batcave, but I guess it is what it is.
The camouflage on Air attack Batman is more intended to break up his body shape rather than blend in. It's based on Dazzle Camouflage used on battle ships during the first world war.
That was one of the first i got as well, the toybiz one was my first, I found this again a few years ago at a comic shop for $20 i think it wasnt open but the plastic was coming of the card so I opened it.
I'd adore a little comic which had Bat-Mite make Batman utilize these silly getups. I remember having Egyptian Batman, and I believe one from the Knight Force Ninjas line. Man I wish figures were still as silly as they were back then.
Camouflage nerd time. The camouflage on the air attack batman. There are many camouflage patterns that have a similar aesthetic to the pattern on this figure. They are from the "Splinter" family of patterns. Made famous during the second world war by the Germans. "Splittertarn muster" was a series of camouflage patterns using over laid splintered/angles shapes with a rain drop layer on top. Contemporary camouflage patterns of this family are used by the Swedish military in the form of M90, M90K and the current generations of Splinter pattern in, Woodland, Arid and snow colourways. That being said, I don't think the Batman pattern is inspired directly by these designs. But more by "Dazzle" pattern. Which is a way of disguising the direction a battleship is sailing by painting it in blacks, greys and whites of over laid geometric shapes. (Give it a googs, it's really interesting) Camo nerd time is over. Continue as you were folks.
Kenner's Dark Knight Collection and Batman Returns figures were badass. My personal favorite character was Arctic Batman from the Batman Returns toyline.
Awesome video Dan i had gotten a Thunderwhip Batman in 1991 and though he was cool. Lost him in a move then many yaers later a friend sent me one that need a repair on his foot but i was able to fix him easy. Aslo in 1993 i got two of the camo style Batman's and clipped the ears and painted them up as a TagTeam for my SSW figure fed back then and called them the Bouncers then when i chaged Bouncer #2 to a different look i reused it to make Bouncer #3. Also did you notice the different Penguin figures Kenner 1984 is the biggest one. 1989 Toybiz is Middle sized and 1992 Kenner one in black is smaller one? As for my favoriet it would be Shadow Wing Batman,Bruce Wayne, and Firebolt Batman.
Loved them, had deep dive Batman for Christmas. Then added a bunch of variants. Always wanted the batmobile. Good memories indeed. These were so much fun to play with. Used the gi joes as henchmen.
I remember going shopping with my best friend and our moms to buy those 1st figures. I got the black, the 2 tone blue, and the gold one with joker all in one go. Those were my favorite figures for a long time. I ended up collecting those all the way till legends of batman then finally quit.
I loved these to death I only had like 3 or 4 variants but I actually wanted them all. I still have them stored away somewhere in my old bedroom back at my parents' house and my folks are very respectful of my stuff so I'm pretty sure they're right where I left them.
Personally, I prefer the BTAS color variants, which are all over the spectrum! Never used to like “non-canon” costumes, but they’ve grown on me. Merry Christmas!
Yes,I loved these figures and I still have them. I too like the ice ones and I have the Arctic attack Batman. Do you remember the camo batmobile? Kenner made that too. My son broke the canopy but I still have it. Great video
It's always fun to look at bat-variants and it was cool hear Aaron Archer talk about what it was like to make them for the later movies on his podcast.
I still got that very same Batman. Glad I managed to save his accessories. And thanks to my grandma I got quite a few of those batman variants from the batman returns line, and I managed to save them all these years. Boy this video brought back memories of my departed grandparents. Thanks for the video Dan.
I have some of the Kenner Batman figures from the Dark Knight Collection and Batman Returns. I have the 15 inch Batman figure from Batman Returns and Hydro Charge Batman also from Batman Returns.
Nice lookback PD, a couple of the variant costumes do make to me as a writer/fan like his arctic costume in the end, but w/o the glider. The one that makes the most sense and I think inspired other ideas was the first one, the Air Attack figure. Think back to the DCAU World's Finest movie where Batman met Superman and he wore a similar flying harness w/ missiles and grapple line gauntlets. I think this one inspired the animators/artists.
This was a really fun video, Dan! Growing up, I had an ‘89 Batman. But the ones I remember most are Lightning Strike Batman from TAS and Fire Guard & Night Hunter Batman from Batman Forever. I would love to see more Batman variant videos! Happy Holidays!
Funnily enough, modern Batman stories have basically canonized the bat-variants by making Bruce design mission specific batsuits and armor like Iron Man does.
I have a video with all of the kenner dark Knight collection unfortunately I sold them off about 2 years ago and I am still kicking myself I should have kept the original seven at least
Hey Dan, love your videos, brother. I’ve been watching you for years…I came across this video thinking maybe it was much older, and I was very surprised to realize just how recent it was…loved it!!! Your enthusiasm is just infectious, and I was additionally surprised that we share exactly the same level of love and appreciation for these Kenner Batman toys. I can’t get enough of them, no matter how over-the-top or wacky they might seem…I actively collect them to this very day. I hope to see you do more of these videos in the future…thanks, brother!!! ❤️
The fact that you used the music from the Batman 89 video game from Nintendo is awesome!! Glad to see this awesome overview of the Dark Knight collection
I had my own love for Tek Shield Batman back in the day and I'm hapoy to have NECA's tribute version carded (one of only a few figures I won't open). I'm curious as to whether or not you ever picked up that version. It's a great homage.
I had Tec-Shield Batman growing up, too! My FIRST ever Batman action figure! Or it may it have actually been my older brother's and was just passed on to me. 🦇
These are so silly, i'd love to get a bunch of these. They look incredibly fun and i'd love to see some modern updates of these in the same vein as the Kenner Predators from NECA.
Sorry, these are expensive toys to open, but as a Toysplosion come out as a pretty lazy episode, some information on their production, maybe some concepts could have rounded it nicely
I remember seeing that figure you’ve had since you were a kid:(by the way how old are you🤔); on the toy isle back then, and I thought it looked weird, yet I didn’t hate it though.?
6:56 Batman rocking that Bruce Lee yellow and black tracksuit.
Batman: Doesn't use guns.
Also Batman: Air attack gear with machine guns and bombs!
15 years ago my brother and I would mock the likes of "space dino-wrangling Batman." Today we want nothing more!
Another Fun video! The NES music was a sweet touch!
Baby Dan is just Spence with dark hair! 😊
I had that Air Attack Batman and he was my absolute favorite.
Noticed that NES Batman theme music in the background, nice touch!
That line has the best vehicles and the 2nd best playset behind Grayskull.
I LOVE these Batman variants! I'm younger, so in stores Christian Bale was the Batman I saw, but thankfully I had some older toy stores and comic shops to visit, and at a comic shop in Chillicothe Ohio my brother and I got a few of these Michael Keaton figures.

I can remember for this line getting the air attack Batman…penguin and robin for Christmas I still have them lol somewhere
Definitely happy to have that NECA version of Tec-Shield Bats, it just scratches that nostalgia itch for the same reason.
i had every toy vehicle and playset in these lines. even the 15 inch returns batman. i ate the cereal from the batman returns cereal and day dreamed of getting everything in the toylines. i hope dc multiverse revisits some of these like air attack batman

I can remember getting Polar Blast Batman from my grandparents at Christmas about 30 years ago. I'm pretty sure I still have the figure too.
i still have 4 of these batmen...the camo and yellow scuba suits are my favorite
I loved that they looked like Keaton. Face and armor. You really could create your own Burtonverse with these figures. I just pretended the DC Superheroes Flash was John Wesley Shipp
I love how Dan is just a big kid and loves toys
I had every variation from the first series. Even had three of THE TOYS "R"US exclusives. My favorites were Deep Dive and Thunder Whip BATMAN.
I’ll always have a soft spot for weirdo toy variants. Sometimes it’s fun to dip into the kid oriented lines just to experience that. A shame the adult collector stuff doesn’t seem to capture that fun most of the time. Great video, Dan!
These were lovely figures
I always loved Iron Winch Batman as it was movie suit but more "classic" colours. He was in your line up at the end 👏👍
I had some many Kenner Batman toys as well! My parents always bring up how much I loved Batman but cried so hard when I "met" Batman at a video store. Thanks for bringing me back to those childhood memories, Dan! I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years!!

Hydro Charge Batman's costume reminds me of nuclear man from superman IV The Quest For Peace.
🤣

I think I should have dozens of these Batman figures and almost every vehicle at my parents house. Makes me want to go there and haul them all.
Kenner Super Power's, Keaton's and Conroy's are my most favourite Batman figures that time... my most favourite Keaton's is the Iron Winch Batman coz of it's classic comic colours....

Really enjoyed this video! Love seeing the Kenner line getting some love. I love these figures. Some of my favorites! Always on the look out for them.
Arctic Batman was always my favorite! So perfect for a Mr. Freeze epic fight.
These look like great figures, and still better than that Batman squirt gun. XD
The wild variants are pretty fun! I had an orange Kenner Batman figure I loved as a kid. I think it was because Orange was my favorite color and Batman was my favorite super hero at the time
Kenner also released the exact same Air Attack Batman design on BTAS Lightning Strike Batman.

My personal favorite character was Arctic Batman from the Batman Returns toyline.
The goggles I believe to be a homage to the targeting mask in the batwing from the movie?
Love the Kenner Keaton Batman figures. Have them all and many still in package. My favorites are the Crime Attack and the Arctic Batman.
I think I was more into the different he man and skeletor styles 😊
There's no denying Spencer is your kid.
The goggles on camo Batman remind me of the Batwing goggles/targeting system he used in the '89 film during the poison parade balloons sequence.
This made my day
Awesome video Dan i had gotten a Thunderwhip Batman in 1991 and though he was cool.

So great video and action figures collection, thanks Pixel Dan! 🤘😎
Awesome toys collection

The Air Attack googles are clearly the Batman 89 Batwing googles !!!
Best fig was tech shield AND Bruce Wayne to bat man

My favorite Kenner era Batman was the Shadow wing Batman (I think that's it). You squeezed his legs and his arms spread up along with his cape.
Ahh I think my cousin had one. I asked my dad to buy one for me but he refused lol.
I had Tec-Shield Batman growing up, too! My FIRST ever Batman action figure! Or it may it have actually been my older brother's and was just passed on to me. 🦇
These are so silly, i'd love to get a bunch of these. They look incredibly fun and i'd love to see some modern updates of these in the same vein as the Kenner Predators from NECA.
You missed Firebolt Batman and an opportunity to roast Kenner for it.
I think the gold was a Walmart exclusive
I’m always excited to see a new ToySplosion video!
That Kenner Batman line was awfully garish. I used to skip right by them to check out the Toybiz X-Men/ Marvel action figures LOL.
I hated those flamboyant batman figures, I wanted more Batman but in the form of villians
Igual yo¡ tuve esas figuras, aun las conservo, ju to el batmovil y la batcave¡
This should be an easter egg in a Batman comic, in which the Batcave's armory is revealed to have many armor and gear in it.
Love these Kenner figures. I have to say I cringe when people open MOC vintage figures. Leave them sealed please.
Hey pixel Dan can you do a Kenner gargoyles review?
Sorry, these are expensive toys to open, but as a Toysplosion come out as a pretty lazy episode, some information on their production, maybe some concepts could have rounded it nicely
I have that exact gold Batman, half an ear missing and the gold has all gone
I remember seeing that figure you’ve had since you were a kid:(by the way how old are you🤔); on the toy isle back then, and I thought it looked weird, yet I didn’t hate it though.?
I always thought these looked cool though it annoyed me that all the designs weren’t actually based on anything.
I want to make a LEGO Batman tech shield minifigure
