Ye Who Enter Here...

Right, well. Considering this is my first post in a sea of never-ending blogs, I can't promise groundbreaking material, but I do hope to strike someones fancy, rather than post random information into the void of the internet. So, first things first, the first topic I'll be discussing (and one I'll be at for a while) is the wondrous Batman Returns toy line of days gone by. (You'll come to find that Batman is something of an obsession of mine). So, let's get started, shall we?

Short introductory paragraph! All throughout the 1990's toy company Kenner produced some of the best (and worst) Batman toys out there, with their motto being, "the more Batman the better". We'll be looking at some of the best...and worst.

First up on the chopping block (for today's post, anyway) is Thunderwhip Batman. Sassy. Kind of an unfitting name for such a dull figure. It's just a generic Batman toy with a couple of purple accessories. And how exactly does it pertain to "thunder" or "whips" for that matter? It's a giant batarang on the end of a stick and a....ninja...star? Not a terribly exciting figure and not Kenners most creative. This will become a trend. I also like how the action feature is touted as, "Turbo Weapon Spinning Arm". Someone please make that an actual move.
