    For me it's these in the purple (Batman) and blue (Robin) boxes. Numbers 1 and 2 on my want list.

    Another would be the Harbert carded Robin so I can add them to my Robin collection.

    Also the 4 solid boxed heroes. A must have.

            Yes! My grail too! I do own the 12" Non-Magnetic Robin version which I acquired from a seller from Chile @ eBay... But as of today, I have failed to see a 12" Non-Magnetic Batman at eBay and have been collecting since 1997...

                Yeah, the Robin would have been from that small find, I don't even have one of those yet unfortunately. I was offered the Batman once, in a trashed box, for trade, but it was for a figure I have that's almost but not quite as rare in a better box, and I wanted to hold on to it. That sucks when you get offered a trade for a figure you really want, but you have to trade it for a figure that you want to keep and would be really hard to replace.

                      Are you saying that some of those palitoy fist Fighters come with underarm slits? Those fist Fighters are so hard to find any way right? I think somebody found one of them in the past 10 years or so.

                        Lol. I have no idea why they made them with underarm slits - but yeah. I wasn’t the one that discovered this variation and don’t know the reason why this variation exists - maybe a good discussion thread !

                        I found them all except Captain America. Someday

                          I sent a PM to the member who discovered the fist fighter under arm slit variation. Just in case he didn’t want to comment I will not mention his name

                              Discovered? I've known about that since the 1980s. I don't even remember who told me about it.

                                Hmmm - maybe the person who told you is who I am thinking of - LOL / Either way - it is a cool variation
