Mego Pin Pin Toys Batman 12" Figure Help Required

[jms]

Hi,

I'm new to here, so firstly thank you to anyone who can offer any insight in to my question.

I have been collecting toys for around 5 years and recently came across this batman figure:

I noticed when looking at the different boxed figures in the 12" Batman section that there is no image or information about this variant here. What is the reason for this?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Best regards,

Jms

Pin Pin is the French version.
They usually go a little less than US editions.

I don't think there is a US edition of this particular Batman. The Canadian Parkdale version is the one most commonly seen, and there are European releases by Burbank, Pedigree and Harbart. I don't recall seeing a Pin Pin 12" Batman before, so this might indeed be a less common packaging variation. Nice find!

There is a pure US version of this box which is very scarce. The pin pin toys box is pretty tough to find, but the US box is tougher.

Had a quick check, my boxed one is Burbank Toys, with a sticker of that company on it.

Oh, so there is a US version after all. That must be a real tough find, I've never seen one!

Thank you ever so much for your insight, it is most appreciated.

How scarce is this then?

I feel pretty lucky to have come across this, it is a shame the box isn't in better shape!
