Imaginext Batman 80th Anniversary Line Revealed at Toy Fair 2019
For Imaginext fans, the first few days at Toy Fair 2019 were unimpressive. The new Toy Story 4 Buzz Bot was on display, but no videos or interactive demos were captured, so no one is certain if this is a large standing Mega toy, like the Power Rangers Megazords, or an R/C toy.
A new Batmobile was also on display, priced at $80, leaving most fans wanting more.
Today fans got more. More Batman Imaginext. For some, more repaints of just Batman are not exciting, but the series is celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Batman, so these are not the normal crazy color variants.
Five new Batman figures are shown, each carded and numbered 1 to 5. These single blister-cards will be available at Walmart. Target also has five Batman figures, in a single collection, showing some unique Batman costumes throughout the years.
1939 features Detective Comics (#29) Batman, with a longer, wrap-around cloth cape, showcasing a very early, classic Batman. 1957 has Detective Comics (#241) featuring the Rainbow Batman, which pretty much sums up this design. 1965 Batman follows the story line of the “Blockbuster Invasion of Gotham City!” where Bruce Wayne’s role is important to capturing the villain, unmasked Bruce is wearing the iconic 1966 grey and blue costume (soon to appear on a future Bat-Channel). 2005’s Superman/Batman (#23) has the Kryptonite Man-possessed Batman. Forever Evil (#4) is 2014’s
Yellow Lantern Batman.
