Matt's Review
This toy is awesome. Some of the pieces come off but I still love it. My dad said it was better than my other toys. I got this toy because I got a good grade on my report card. I got to say, I love this toy.

''Batboat or Batjet?''
I HAVE A SIX YEAR OLD SON WHO IS COMPLETELY OBSESSED WITH THE SHOW THE BATMAN.HE GETS UPBETWEEN 10 AND 11 EVERY SATURDAY TO WATCH THE SHOW.HE SAW THIS ONE EPISODE WHERE BATMAN IS CHASING JOKER,BUT IT LOOKS LIKE HES IN A BOAT(BATJET).AFTER MY SON HAD SEEN THE VEHICLE HE ASKED TO GO TO TOYSRUS. WHEN WE GOT THERE ALL WE SAW WAS THE BATMOBILE,BATCAVE,AND MOTORCYCLE.MY SON WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED.BUT WHEN I WAS DOING MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING WITH MY WIFE WE NOTICED IT ON A SHELF RIGHT NEXT TO THE BATMOBILE ALONG WITH SOME NEW FIGURES.I PICKED IT UP AND NOTICED IT SAID 3-IN-ONE BATJET.I FIGURED IT WAS A TYPO.WHEN MY SON RECIEVED IT ON CHRISTMAS DAY HE WAS VERY HAPPY.ALTHOUGH IT SAD BATJET ON THE PACKAGE HE STILL THINKS ITS A BATBOAT.IT ALSO BECOMES A CYCLE WHICH I THINK IS PRETTY COOL. I GIVE THIS PRODUCT A 4 OUT OF 5 BECAUSE MY SON ENJOYED IT AND SO DID I.

NOT WORTH THE PRICE PAID
My 6 year old son spent his own money on this toy (about $20).He played with it for an hour and then asked to return it.He said that it doesn't have 3 toys in one, which one is led to believe from the packaging.It should be labeled 2 in one, which would better reflect the packaging.

The wingtips fall off when snapping the motorcycle part into the flight part.It was difficult for my son to put the pieces together.

The noises are intermittent.I checked the batteries and it requires 3 of the A76 batteries (also used for hearing aids).These are very expensive.

The toy is so specific that one is required to buy the exact Batman to use it.

This was a very disappointing purchase.We do not recommend this toy.

Disappointing, unattractive, annoying electronics
First off, corrections to the current description here on Amazon, this toy is NOT motorized, it only has electronic sounds. Also, the photos up now show a prototype with a few different details, the actual toy has a clear canopy with tech lines sculpted in and openings above the blue intakes, the small rear fins at the top are translucent, and the bat-symbols stick out a quarter inch since one is a button.

Now, as to the review: Once again I have been duped by packaging, just like this line's Batmobile before it, I bought the 3-in-1 Batjet in part because the box art made it look nifty, but the art is far cooler than the actual toy. The gimmick here is that the main jet comes apart into 2 other pieces, a motorcycle that is the main jet's cockpit, and the, um, "rest" of the jet, the empty jet hull - this last part puts the "3" in "3-in-1 Batjet" yet doesn't actually have a task of its own so it's really just 2-in-1 with a sizeable leftover part to set aside. The bike takes a little maneuvering to lock into the jet hull, a feat which might be too difficult for little hands, but once you get the hang of it it's not too bad.

This Batjet has futuristic but unattractive lines, it's too odd with its drop-down nose, narrow wings, and empty fan in the back; the removable motorcycle part while neat in theory is too shapeless and plain even with the techie bits near the bottom and large rear wheel. The underside of the jet has 3 small hidden wheels but is otherwise just as featureless as the interior of the empty jet hull. The motorcycle has a translucent tech bit on either side near the bottom reminiscent of the line's Batmobile, and the right side is the same except that you can attach a missile-launcher to the middle screw hole (this launcher and wide electro-blade missile seem very much like a half-baked afterthought). The small front wheel at the front of the bike is all plastic, but the larger rear wheel has a rubber tire; unfortunately the bike doesn't roll very nicely at all on any surface, and is very low-slung so it can't bank for turns.

Besides the separating gimmick, there's also an electronic feature that can get really annoying after a few seconds. The problem is that while in "try-me" packaged mode the button on the side of the bike sets off the 2 sound effects, in "play" mode the sound effects are driven by an overly-sensitive motion sensor so they go off constantly and won't shut up till you flip the switch, which is inaccessable when the bike is docked in the jet hull (the try-me button no longer does anything at all in regular play mode, it should have done SOMETHING here). Did I mention it's also a bit too loud? There's a switch on the bottom of the bike which is depressed when attached to the jet that lets it know to only make the jet sound, it goes off whenever it senses the slightest motion - which quickly becomes tiresome as it's a slow flyby sound which isn't all that exciting to hear repeating over and over. When removed from the jet, the bike makes a motorcycle revving sound which is cool at first but then just repeats the second half over and over unless absolutely still, it would have been a lot more fun even if this sound was constant while the toy was in motion rather than just sounding like someone hitting the clutch over and over and over and over, ad infinitum. And as if the motion sensor setting it off all the time wasn't enough, it has a second switch when you turn the rear wheel - thank goodness for the OFF switch.

Finally, what really makes me most displeased with the 3-in-1 Batjet is that the cockpit is too narrow to accomodate the arms of any of the 4 Batman figures I have from this line except Bruce Wayne, and only when he's not wearing his gauntlets! I should have known since none of the box photos show the toy holding a figure inside. Many of my earlier complaints might have been overlooked if not for this massive misstep, it totally undermines the toy (worse even than the Batmobile's similar problem).

My advice: save your money for something more fun and less annoying than this, it's like the designers released this one too early, far too many frustrations are had here. ... Read more

Editorial Review

We thought this was the coolest of the three Batman Deluxe Figures. Tech Armor Batman wears graphite colored armor adorned with a silvery green breast plate and shin guards. He's articulated at the forearms, wrists, waist, knees, legs, and neck. He's got an arsenal of weaponry including a laser cannon, claw arm, disc launcher and disc missile. The claw arm, which snaps tightly shut, is attached to a big mechanical-looking arm that branches from one of Batman's shoulders; you can also swap out the claw for the laser cannon. On the other side, the disc launcher clips on to his forearm, ready to fire a green disc-shaped missile with the Batman emblem cut out of it. He's got a stern look on his well-sculpted face, under the standard-issue bat mask with very pointy ears. His cape is cloth and hangs a little weakly off his back. As with the other two deluxe figures, we found the accessories a little hard to use; there are no instructions, and other than the pictures on the packaging, no guidance as how to use or attach the weaponry. --Megan Sullivan ...

Dark Knight with all the trimmings.
This is another one of mattel's repaints and hence Batman variations. But unlike several of the other figures, this one actually works for me. It shows Batman as a futuristic knight with a bunch of techno accessories. The color scheme also works great. One downside about the accessories, as with all mattel figures ther doesn't seem to be any instructions on how to place them on the figure save for the picture on the back of the box. And since, this one has by far the most accessories it gets a little confusing for kids (some adults also). All in all, the good outweighs the confusing therefore it's a good buy. ... Read more

Save your money!!
I bought this for my 6 year old for Christmas. It was broke within two days. Extremely flimsy!!

This toy stinks.
This toy is really flimsy and it stinks.

Not as bad as others say
I just got this and was able to assemble it pretty easily, and everything stayed together. It comes with stands and braces, and even on a carpet it stands up just fine. It has a lot of fun features, and while not durable for rough play, is still fun.

Mine is missing the web-trap trigger though, which is why I rated the fun at 4 stars. I called Toy Biz to ask for a replacement, but they are sold out. They were surprised to hear though that this occurred often (they have a customer service number, CALL IT!) but I am keeping it. It's still a fun toy.

Fun...Well sort of?
I love this toy no matter what they say. It is lots of fun SOMTIMES, not that durible though. It falls over quick. The launching is very hard. I still love this toy, I'll say it's worth...bucks!

Cool looking waste of money
No stars for this awful thing. My kids begged for this and we got it for Christmas. It was falling apart as we put it together. Finally my husband mounted it on wood with glue, nails and velcro (crazy that we paid 35.00 and we had to MOUNT it) and it stayed together a little better. It is all posterboard and plasitc chip pieces, if Spiderman tried to slide down the web, the toy would implode. It was pretty much in the trash can by the end of the week. Wish it would have been made better. ... Read more

Mattel does it again
Great Job Mattel!I'm glad to see that ToyBiz didn't get their hands on the rights to do this action figure.The head mold is great!Looks like Christian Bale; has solid detail, great articulation.I bought two, one to remain in the box and one to take out.I'm a collector and always look to see the kind of job Mattel does on action figures (the Max Steel line was awesome) and they really outdid themselves on this one.Awesome job, Mattel!!

Awesome Batman!
I got this figure yesterday at ToysRus andwas pleased with it. The toy has great detail, it looks better than Mattel's other 18 inch Batman, with the base and accesories, and I thought that figure is cool too. There's only one accesory, a Batarang, but that's ok, less to lose! The cape feature is alright, it looks a little goofy, but the good news is that it is made to come off! It just pops off, and can go back on easily! The figure looks a lot better with the action thingy off. I also like the fact the cape is BIG! It wraps around Batman well and makes him look more imposing. I didn't like that about other Batman figures, the cape was always too small, batman has a large cape in the comics. Anyway, this is a great figure, if you like Batman and are thinking about this figure, go ahead and get it! You'll be happy with it!

One of the best!
I've collected Batman action figures since I was a toddler, starting with Mego's 8-inch figure, all the way to the modern DC Direct High-End collector figures. I have to say, with the possible exception of the classic Mego 12-inch magnetic figure, this is my favorite 3-d interpretation of the Dark Knight. From his highly detailed movie-accurate costume to a dead-on likeness to actor Christian Bale, it's just utterly cool looking. Batman seems to have a slight smirk on his face, reminiscent of Bale's smile at the end of "Equilibrium" Plus, there it's loaded with articulation (joints, if you're not hip to action figure jargon) and he's got a cool "action cape" that opens up lake a glider(like on movie posters) so kids should have hours of fun with this thing. Batman also comes with a Batarang, my only(minor) complaint is the Batarang could use a holster in the Utility Belt, so kids don't lose it.

Its Ok.
It is a flash figure. Until DC Comics and Mattel decide to do something along the lines of DC Legends, similar to Toy Biz' Marvel Legends, we have to be thankful for ANYTHING that comes out.

Unfortunately, however, there is no detail to this line of figures. The bright side is, they do resemble the animated series, in that it is as 2 dimensional, as a drawing.

Nevertheless, since there seems to be a lack of variety in the DC world for reasonablly priced superhero figures, some accolades and applause is deservant for Mattel. We can only hope they drastically improve on the design quality; and, thank them for not gouging us on this line. A much better value than the 4 inch versions.

Where's Green Lantern?
I think these large Justice League figures are great. I personally am not disappointed in the lack of articulation (joints where the figure's limbs can move), since I'm getting these for my very young son, and he doesn't care. Besides, these figures are done in the highly simplified "cartoon" style, which to me indicates that they'd naturally be less intricate mechanically. My GRIPE is that many of these toys are not shipped in equal quantities, so there are fewer of one than the others. I've seen tons of Batman figures, but not one Green Lantern, for instance. Many of these scarcer figures are horded by collectors/dealers, leaving people like me who actually want to buy them for their children with an incomplete set. It's sad this is the way the toy business works at times. STILL, these are great toys--very iconic, very well designed.

Great for collectors
If you can't afford the $... maquette, this is great substitute.
I say it's great for collectors becoz there are few points of articulation so it looks more like a statue than a toy.

Only cons is that the botton half of flash is a slightly different red than from the top. This is no noticeable from a distance though.

Morphing the Justice League !
WOW ! 10" of the Flash. These large Justice League figures are great for both the collector and for younger kids who can appreciate more figure to hold onto. As with all the Mattel DC Superhero figures released this year I cannot emphasize enough that all the figures need more articulation ! We know it can be done (see the Marvel Legends series figures). Honestly, at the price points these figures are at we as consumers are justified in expecting the much needed articulation. The figures are well done....Please give us figures which can be played with in the positions they are depicted in when they are in action !

FLASH!!!
This toy is so cool that kids should use it as a collectors item. ... Read more

WOW!!! A great toy even if you've never seen Teen Titans!!!
SUPER-COOL "T-Sub" model with space for five 3 1/2" Teen Titans figures! Two harpoon-looking missiles fire about 12" and there are two tiny guns that can be detached. There's also a bay for two AAA batteries and a little button that makes a very cool electronic sound alternating with the voice of Robin saying something like "Titans! Let's go!"

Over all a VERY, VERY COOL TOY WITH A **LOT** OF PLAY VALUE!!! It also has a tricycle arrangement of tiny wheels on the bottom for kids to push it across the ground. You might have something of a search trying to track down all five Teen Titans figures, I got lucky when I went hunting for them. My six-year-old daughter received this as a reward for an excellent report card and she has been playing with it pretty much nonstop! This is an EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT choice for kids who like the Teen Titans cartoon, but it's also EXTREMELY COOL even if they've never heard of the cartoon!! It looks like it's going fast even when it's standing still! The canopies open in two sections to allow access to the detailed little seats and dashboards. Really a great toy! Worth every penny! BUY IT NOW!!! ... Read more

Kewl
Awesome paint job on batman. But the reason we're all buying this is for nightwing. Good sculpt, cool Billy clubs. Overall a very cool two pack. I rated the education 2 because you don't learn much from them. Action figures are supposed to be fun not educational. Still very good. A+

Coolest Nightwing Figure
In the beginning, Mattel looked as if they were going to just keep pumping out Hasbro type figures, with the early 2-pack series, and the Justice League figures.
Being a serious collector, I would buy them, anyway, but, I would not be happy.
After a phone call to Mattel, I was assured my complaints and suggestions would be taken into consideration.
Apparently they were, because then came the new Batman line; highly articulate and a great sculpt.
This particular set features the single best Nightwing figure ever. He looks cool, and has a fresh look to him.
Mattel has done very well with this series. This 2 pack would receive a score of 100%, except they re-released it in series 3.
That alone drops the score.
Bottom line:
Pro's: Best Nightwing sculpt ever. Nice set of accesories. Competively priced (...)
Cons: A second release in the 3rd wave with no alterations, is rediculous.
Final Score: 85. (100% for the first edition).

batman sucks nightwing is awesome
nightwing is a great toy and his outfit is cool I love the night sticks he makes the set worth bying. but batman is wearing a ninja type suit, it's really ugly the silver shines way to bright. mattel is doing a great job on these new batman toys I dont even play with toys really but these toys have been making me play with them but i also think that mattel should make toys like mr.freeze,two-face and clayface ect. I have every two pack batman and nightwing, batman and superman and batman and robin all I need now is batman and joker.

Nightwing Looks Cool But Batman Is A Fool
I too (like one of the other reviewers) have been on the hunt for Robin since these new 6" Batman toys have hit the stores...I think they must have made only 1 Boy Wonder because I haven't been able to find him anywhere...well that's not really true, I have found Robin on other web sites but I'm not willing to pay $50.00 dollars for him...SOOOOOOOO because my son has the new Batmoblie (yes it is the best one made to date...even if it looks a little "hollow" when you take the side car away from the main body) I bought this double pack so Nightwing could ride along with Batman in the side car...This Batman figure however has landed at the bottom of his toy box because even my 5 year old knows that Batman would never leave the Batcave dressed like that! Buy it for Nightwing and grab the double pack Superman-Batman for the real look of the World's Finest.

Batman and Nightwing
This two pack is a nice alternative to the Batman/Superman 2-pack by Mattel, but not near as cool. Nightwing is the only reason for buying this item. Mattel is obviously as stupid as Hasbro was in making a bunch of other Batman figures that nobody really wants and they end up in the markdown pile of the toy stores. Mattel has gone off and put Batman in other uniforms to accomedate his crime-fighting environment. Although no one has really ever seen Batman in anything other than his usual uniform. And, if they did, who cares. So, instead of making more of the characters that people want--like Robin, Joker, or Mr. Freeze--they give us this kind of stuff. This item is a great opportunity to own Nightwing with two nightsticks for weapons. As for the Batman figure in this set, all I can say is this: At least they didn't decide to color his uniform orange. ... Read more

Could have been better.
The figurines look OK. Even the strangely-colored Batman seems so work. I do hate the absence of the stand, however. The toys would not stand on their own, and, because of the way the joints are made, they cannot be sat down either. ... Read more

Should be a display toy
My 4 year old loves action figures. He plays rough, and he uses his toy a lot. This action figure should have been sturdy and durable, considering its size. It broke in half within a month. He didn't drop it. It broke by use. The toy could move at the waist, side to side. Then one day it snapped in half at the waist. I would not recommend this for young children that could hurt themselves with it.

The Justice League lives at our house!
My son received this and several of the other Justice League members for his fourth birthday. He was ecstatic and let out a squeal of delight as he opened each one! He has put them in a "special place" in his room and gets them down each morning. As a mother, I think they are a lot of fun for a child. The more I get to know about these action figures, the more I realize how many adults collect them. I can understand how some opinions may be more critical than others(and much more educated than others). As a mom of a happy little boy, I give them 5 stars! My son's eyes were sure shining as he unveiled each of his Justice League buddies!

It's Ok.
The good thing about this figure is, it is a new Batman, sort of. The bad is, we've seen this before. Basically, it's the smaller JL Batman on some serious steroids.

It lacks detail, articulation, and creativity. It looks more 2 dimensional than the cartoon itself! The paint job is horrific on many of the figures. This is definately a series you will want to hand pick yourself, so you don't get stuck with figures with a bad paint job.

A Falling Tree
Initally, I rated this toy with 4 stars. I was quite happy with it, even displaing it while in it's packaging. Unfortunately, I had never seen the figure opened until I saw the kid of one of my friends play with an opened batman. The figure, due to it's unproportioned body (a big upper body and small feet)was unable to stand for a long period of time. It is however a great educational toy for kids. But if your a collector and planning to display the whole set, you might as well leave it in it's box. ... Read more
