Batman: Overview
Batman action figures are one of the most enduring, with a history of well over sixty years. The original Batman figure is believed to have been only available in American carnivals and it wasn’t until the 1960s that a toy was created for sale in shops. This was produced by a company called the Marx Toy Company and it came along with accessories such as a bat and cuffs.
Captain Action was another action figure who is connected to the Batman story. That is because this figure had the ability to turn into Batman; either by buying the separate accessories. In the 1970s a new line of Batman action figures were created by Mego; this also included some of the villains like the Joker, and the Riddler.
The Batman License was taken over by Kenner at the end of the seventies added him to their Super Powers collection. This series was successful for a while but it ended in 1986 when Toy Biz was able to begin producing Batman action figures. This new line of figures was able to benefit from the successful 1989 release of the Batman movie.
In 2008 the latest addition of the Batman series was released as part of The Dark Knight collection. These six inch figures included characters from the movie as well as some additional characters.
