Jollibee
continues to impress me. This month, they just released a Batman Brave
and the Bold toy for their Kiddie Meal. This set is composed of two
toys, but I think I'll only be getting this one. The other one is a Bat
Jet launching toy or something like that. The Batman figure stands approximately at 4 inches and is composed of a rubbery type of plastic. It faithfully captures the appearance of the Batman Brave and the Bold Animated series from which this figure was based.
It only has one articulation, a swivel right arm. At first I thought the left arm is also moveable, but I was disappointed to find out that it isn't. The head is also non moveable. The paint apps of the figure is quite good considering that this is a fast food toy. It's also a plus that they were able to paint the right colors (unlike that horrible error they made with that Green Lantern toy).
The figure comes with an accessory. A grappling hook that somehow doesn't work right. (see instructions below).
As you can see in it's packaging, the grappling hook is supposed to shoot up when you press a button. But in reality, it doesn't happen. Pushing the button won't make the hook shoot up, it just remains steady.
For scale comparison with the Mattel Batman Brave and the Bold basic action figures, it only stands at chest length.
It is also considerably smaller than the Mattel JLU figures. In this photo, I had him stand side by side with (from left to right) Mattel Batman Brave and the Bold Batman, Mattel JLU Batman, A Joker fast food toy I got from Australia in a flea market, the Green Lantern kiddie meal toy from Jollibee, and the Batman Brave and the Bold kiddie meal toy also from Jollibee.
The Grappling Hook (despite it's failed launching mechanism) is also a useful accessory for Mattel DC Universe Classics or DC Direct figures. I had it posed here with a Mattel Batman Legacy First Appearance Batman.
I don't know where this Joker figure is supposed to be from, but I'm guessing this is also based from the Batman Brave and the Bold animated series. Though he seems to be a little bit taller compared to Batman, but the difference is not that much. Both figures complements each other nicely.
Overall this is a great toy for kids (and Batman collectors alike). I'm guessing that this will sell out fast. So head on to the nearest Jollibee store now before you'll regret not getting this.
