BATMAN 1ST APPEARANCE MEGO ALEX ROSS BOB KANE 9" FIGURE
BATMAN 1ST APPEARANCE ACTION FIGURE. 9" HASBRO
MEGO STYLE RETRO CLOTH OUTFIT.
RARE EXCLUSIVE! THIS ITEM WAS ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE BATMAN MASTERPIECE COLLECTOR'S EDITION BOXSET!
NEW. LOOSE (IN REMOVABLE CLAMSHELL PACKAGING).
DESIGNED BY ALEX ROSS, BASED ON THE ART OF BATMAN CREATOR BOB KANE.
Definitely the coolest thing to come out of Hasbro in awhile is this representation of the very first design of Batman, from his first appearance, in Detective Comics #27, which the figure is based upon. The figure was designed by current comic wunderkind, Alex Ross, and comes with a batarang and a way cool cape that has a wire structure allowing you to shape it all kinds of ways.
It was released by Hasbro and utilized the body they introduced for their DC Super Heroes collector’s line. At the time, both DC and Marvel (through Toy Biz) were getting “Mego-like” treatment in series aimed at collectors and kids. This Batman was designed by uber-artist Alex Ross and based on Bob Kane’s original interpretation of Batman.
An EXTREMELY RARE item!!
