"The Dark Knight"

Oh ya, while I was driving back to Melaka the previous time, stopped by 1 Utama to go toy scouting :D Found this: Mattel's Movie Masters figure of Batman from The Dark Knight! Hurray, that figure was soo missing from my TDK collection.



Price says RM69.90, but when scanned, it came out to only RM24.90! Clearance sales~~



Comparing the new Batman suit and the one from Batman Begins.




with the Joker, which was so hard to find last time, but now also on clearance. But then, these figures from Mattel look like crap when you compare against....

"Dark Knight: Batmobile & Batpod!"

Here's something I bought during the height of the 'Dark Knight' fever: the Stealth Launch Batmobile! Ok, it's a crappy name but essentially the pull factor to get this was that it included the Batpod!

Huge box. Here's the Batmobile...





Press button #1 at the back, and the Batmobile pops open!



Inside is Mr. Batman on his Batpod...



Press button #2 and the Batpod springs out!



Ah, the Batpod: the highlight of the movie!

The Batman figure is not removable, partially I guess due to the extremely strong force when the Batpod launches. Actually, if you notice, this feature isn't exactly movie-accurate. In the Dark Knight, the Batmobile was badly damaged, and to continue hunting the Joker, Batman activated this 'back-up' vehicle, which is actually the left wheels of the Batmobile. Heh, just some trivia. :P

This is pretty much a kid's toy that is fairly pricey (RM209.90). I was waiting for the price to go down but it never did. What happened was that because the movie was such a success, people grabbed any (reasonably decent) Bat-stuff they could get. I asked Gf to buy it from me when she was in Melaka after all the ones in Penang were sold out...
