    How about a little LOVE...for the 8" Kidbiz Batman?

    What'd Ya think...I don't think this Guy get's enough credit? Released only in Australia & Belgium...this figure was the closest thing to Mego...since Mego went Belly up! Sure...He's got kind of a silly smile, which is so unlike Batman(but very like Mego!).Maybe His Body's not has a good as a Mego...but He does have a lot of Mego-likeness to Him...removeable Suit, Boots, Belt, Cape. Until Doc Mego & EMCE Toys came along...this Guy was it!

    Yeah, the body isn't as good as Mego, but other than that he's cool. Wish they made more figures

      You're right! Since it was made because of the 1989 Batman Movie...They should have done the Joker!

              I bought mine MOC sometime in between the 89 movie and Returns. I couldn't stand myself and "released him" a few years later. The figure has a real Mego feel to it. The head has a slight smile, the boots have some detail, but not alot, and the plastic belt is well-sculpted (just like Mego's Batman). I have him displayed with my customs and miscelanous TV characters (Trek, Dukes, Fonzie, etc.).

                He's ok in my book, I've owned a few. I think I like the concept of a mego-like figure coming out of another country more than I do the actual figure. In today's market you never see goofy foreign exclusives any more......

                  I dig 'em... that PACO body is wreak-tastic, but otherwise it's really an excellent figure.

                    I love the figure. It's one of the few figures that's still in my collection since I bought him right around the time he was released but not sure when I got him. I think it was around batman returns. Anyway He's been around since my collecting days started many years ago.

                    I bought mine from a comic book store and the guy charged me $60.00 for him and told me he had mego on his back. This guy told me that they used mego molds for him. I didn't believe him as it is similar to mego but it's clearly not mego nor it's mold. I got him anyway but had to know for certain if the figure really had mego on his back and I opened him up. I wasn't surprised. I never regretted getting him and have always like the figure alot. A joker like this would have been so nice. A Catwoman evern better!

                      I have a loose one I bought a few years ago. The price was too good to pass
                      up. It may not be the best constructed figure but it looks good and it's
                      interseting that it wasn't available in the U.S.

                        I really like the figure. Just recently added him (MOC) from an Ebay purchase. Dirt cheap too...under $20.00 with shipping. The seller had I think four or five of them. Definitely worth the investment for Mego fans out there that don't have one. I haven't brought myself to break him out of his package but the urge has certainly been there. The body looks veyr much like a Mego. Can anyone tell me what the differences are? It appears to be jointed in all of the same places the original Mego body was. Is this the case?

                            I've always liked that figure. If I had a loose one, I'd Megofy him. And then there would be an epic battle between the classic Mego Batman and the new custom Batman. Perhaps classic Batman would consider him an abomination, but they'd be standing on my display shelf side by side after the battle. Eventually they'd overcome their animosity towards each other. Perhaps they'd go into business together and open a bagel shop. They'd call it Bagels By Batmen.

                              I have a loose one, and I did Megoify him.
