Cooey's Toy Box

Presenting the ToyFare Exclusive Batman Begins Collectors Edition from Mattel. Yup, the name's a mouthful. I got this figure loose at a bargain bin and tidied him up a bit. The 5" figure comes with 13 points of articulation and a wire-poseable cape. The sculpt's pretty decent with Christian Bale's likeness down to a t, especially for a 5" figure. The Tumbler ( that's the Batmobile's new moniker) is from the The Dark Knight movie line and features the ejectable Bat Pod. The vehicle is actually two bat vehicles in one. The battle-damaged Tumbler breaks open ( and impressively at that) from battle damage and shoots out the Bat-Pod cycle. More on this soon. More pictorial sets to come!

Presenting the Battle Command Sgt. Savage released in 1995 as part of the Sgt. Savage and the Screaming Eagles toy line, also from Hasbro's G.I. Joe line. I got the 4" figure loose and without any accessory but the joints were tight and the paint job looked great.He's currently armed with a Chap Mei M-60. The line didn't last long and had a small amount of figures and vehicles only. Here's a commercial for the toy line when it launched: But the cool thing about the line was the box art as well as the mini-comic art -- all done by the legendary Joe Kubert! And here's the direct-to-video Sgt Savage featurette, "Old Soldiers Never Die". Enjoy!
