The man-bat himself with a cape made from [soon to be illegal; they already are in Kenya] shopping-bag polyethylene! We've seen a similar Tarzan here and given the size, they really are dolls, they even have the same plug-in arms as the cheap rip-offs of Action Man/GI Joe. This one's about ten-inches with only his arms moving.
The Boy
Wonder (who appears to be Joe 90 moonlighting out of season-three) has five
points of articulation in pink ethylene attached to a red torso, his cape is
either a replacement or made with slightly less love than Batman's, same shopping-bag supplier though! [The next day . . . see comments - might be Mexican?]
We've also seen the Batman parachute toy before
but I had a spare image kicking-about in Picasa, he was around eight-inches I
think, while Robin is twelve-inches+. Thanks to Adrian at Mercator for all these.
Hi there ! I think the Robin doll was produced in Mexico and not Argentina. At least that is where I got mine from - see http://geoffstoys.blogspot.pt/2017/01/holy-cow-batman-they-are-building-wall.html
ReplyDeleteTorro Navtivitus Bat-Geoff! That's the actual cape! Your's is less battered!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that! Technically I should call them unknown South American, as I have my own doubts about one or two, however, they all came from a collector who called them Argentine. I guess they would have moved around . . . the Japanese superhero (posted later today) may be from somewhere else, and could (at a stretch) be a Mexican wrestler!!!!
