The other day I nearly bought a loose Legends of Batman figure at an outdoor sale. I say nearly because for a moment nostalgia overcame me and I was right back in the thick of my collecting bug, when I first discovered the wonders of plastic super hero action figures.
The figure itself was the Power Guardian from Kenner's Legends of Batman line 1994. Not particularly old but for me very nostalgic as it features in my loose Action Figure book I bought at Memorabilia 2000 at the NEC.
Here it is loose and incomplete like it appeared on the stall.
This is how Bats looks complete and poised.
Here's the original Power Guardian TV ad from 1994.
Do you like the Legends of Batman?
Yea I had almost all of these and at the time they were considered to be Kenner's peak regarding Batman, Now compared to Todd McFarlane's dc range they come off as clumsy, that said I had the mother of all knock offs of this range "Legends of the Bark Knight" the box art was on point unfortunately the figure was a poorly executed chocolate mishape that reduced grown men to tears of laughter!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them too MJ. My fave of the line has to be the horse riding one, forgotten its name. Dark Rider? Just looked up that Bark Knight figure! ha ha, I really like it! https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1158521428&ref=list&keyword=bark%20knight&lang=en
