Watch Mattel’s Video Preview of the SDCC Exclusive Batusi Batman

Video Preview Batusi Batman

MattyCollector’s Toy Guru has posted a video preview of the San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Batusi Batman from the Classic TV Series. Once again they’ve got some pretty clever packaging that allows for Bats to dance with his fellow party-goers. An electronic sound chip plays the Batusi theme.

The action feature comes with some drawbacks, though – one is a relatively small lever in Batman’s back, but the big one is that it appears that his arms could be locked in the Batusi pose. I’m still on the fence for the series, but this probably means I’ll go for one of the Batmen available for pre-order on Amazon.

Play Imaginative to Release Jim Lee Super Alloy Superman Exclusive Edition at SDCC

Play Imaginative New 52 Superman Exclusive Edition

Play Imaginative has whipped up an Exclusive Edition of its Super Alloy New 52 Superman that will be available at San Diego Comic-Con. It joins the Super Alloy New 52 Batman that is being re-released for SDCC after an initial release at the Singapore Toy, Games, and Comic Convention last year.

No word if this version of Superman will be any different than the Super Alloy Superman planned for general release – if it’s the same, it should feature a second head with heat vision eyes and a crystal fortress base that houses a fan to give the fabric cape the windblown look. Superman will be priced at $360, and we’ve heard Batman will go for $300. Both figures will be available at the Yes Anime booth #4729.

The Caped Crusader (a Batman stand-in with an uncanny resemblance to a 1960’s Adam West) and his trusted Batmobile were on hand at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in New York City’s Times Square to promote the launch of its new Mez-Itz line for the 1966 Batman Classic TV Series. Hagop from Constume Contumely was there and snapped these pics for AFP.

Play Imaginative to Re-Release Jim Lee Super Alloy Batman at SDCC

Play Imaginative Event Exclusive Super Alloy Batman 1

Last fall, we saw Play Imaginative release an exclusive “special edition” 1/6 scale, diecast Batman at the Singapore Toy, Game, and Comic Convention. While the STGCC version of the Jim Lee-styled New 52 Batman has a glossy version, eventually specialty retailers like BigBadToyStore imported a matte version of the figure.

Now, with a New 52 Superman in the works, Play Imaginative is re-releasing an “event exclusive” edition of Batman. This looks to have the original glossy finish, all the accessories of the other versions, and an extra, angry head sculpt. The packaging looks to be identical to the special edition with the exception of a new special edition sticker. No word on cost yet, but I’ll see if I can find out.
