Variations
These are generally known as repaints or variations, but all are the standard Batman/Robin figures with some added deco and painted different colors and packed with rotating accessories. While very unpopular with collectors, these repaints allow Kenner to make inexpensive product that helps keep costs down.
And besides, they MUST be somewhat popular with kids, as they always eventually sell-out, unlike the Ultraforce or Wildcats lines.
Series One and Two
The first two series were relatively free of repaints, with only these three to be released for the first year of production.
They are:
TurboJet Batman
Infrared Batman
Sky Dive Batman
Series Three
The third series started to open the floodgates on repaints.
While still balancing out the assortments with villains, with the introduction of Deluxe Batmen, the repaints started to crowd out the pegs.
They are:
Power Vision Batman (Deluxe Figure)
Ground Assault Batman (Deluxe Figure)
Lightning Strike Batman
Knight Star Batman
Anti-Freeze Batman
Mask of the Phantasm
This movie subline was almost strictly repaints.
It included:
Total Armor Batman
Rapid Attack Batman
Jet Pack Joker
Decoy Batman
Jet Pack Joker came with either a white face or a light green face.
Series Four
Bringing the line almost to the present, this was the only assortment introduced in 1995 and included only one non-Batman/Robin figure.
The repaints are:
Paraglide Batman
Rocketpack Batman
Radar Scope Batman
Mech Wing Batman (Deluxe)
Cyber Gear Batman
Tornado Batman
Bola Trap Robin
Glider Robin
(not shown is High Wire Deluxe Batman)
