Bill´s collection

Amazing collection. I can't wait until I've got one as big as that.

Also, words cannot describe how bad-ass Donatello looks on the box of the sewer army tube...

i am not a star trek fan by any means, but the trekki turtles always appealed to me. i think they are a good combonation of funny and cool.

WOW, This is one of the best MOC collections I've seen! I didn't realize how many variations of the turtles there are out there. Great collection!

Thank you very much. But I´ve seen in this site many collections that are much better than mine.

Its awesome how everything is neat (individually wrapped) and organized!

My other loved collection: Batman The Animated Series.

Many of you might know it and many may love it. Back in 1992 after Tim Burton´s Batman returns this series made its debut. I can´t describe with words how great this show was from the very beginning.

Unlike Tim Burton´s two Batman movies this jewel captured the real
esence of the Batman´s comic. The plots, the drawing style, the art deco of the 40s mingled with todays technology, the Paul Dini/Bruce Timm combination made each episode unique and an instant classic, only left behind by The Simpsons.
(By the way, David Wise wrote one of the Batman episodes).

If you still don´t know it, please please please watch at least one episode and then you tell me if I am right or wrong.


In 1992 the toy line came along with the series. I believe it was the
perfect counterpart of our beloved tmnt toys. The toy art of the packages, the figures sculpt, the toybox art of the vehicles so dark and serious made this collection a real challenge and change to start with.















Just like our Toitles the toy line would comitt the same mistakes.
It would start with full strength and then it will screw it from
time to time with thousand of Batman variants in yellow/orange/purple/red/turquoise suit (like you see below) that would embarrass even Farmer Mike itself and not making villains or main caracters at all (And believe that Batman got plenty of villains to be made).

[Bill]

Kenner/Hasbro the toy manufacturers would eventually loose the Batman
toy license to Mattel but before that they made one last effort and new figures (like Comissioner Gordon and Alfred) and requested villains
(like a show accurate Ra´s Al Ghul, Thalia, Ventriloquist with Scarface)
would finally appear in the toy line inside 4 packs. This packs would
contain 3 "Oh my god not again! a repainted" figures and 1 new figure.

Like this 4 pack


Or this eight pack (In this case ALL are repainted figures). But I bought it before I could get the originals one.





However this wouldn´t be the end of the toy line, cause Mattel keep making Batman figures and a couple of revamped villains, and with the debut of Justice League and then Justice League Unlimited a new world of Batman Stories would emerge with the same style and plots of their show predecesors.

The Justice League and then Justice League Unlimited toy line would
debut as well and a few pending Batman friends (like the Gray Ghost) and
villains (like The Clock King) will finally made their debut in the toy
line with same sculpt style and scale.







This would be the last hope to see some Batman Animated characters made into the toy line and it would last untill today!

Yes it´s true, as you can see in this photo from the Toy Fair 2012 new packs will come out on july/august and one would contain the final breath of this collection and the final villain made in this Batman Animated Series
style: Firefly.



By the way, in this photo (courtessy of actionfigureinsider.com) is the one on the middle.

It is really a miracle that this Justice League Unlimited toy line lasted
more that six years after the tv show ended.

To sum up with, we can say that this Batman toy line lasted from
1992 to 2012. 20 years of a batman action figures in the Animated series style.
20 years...it sounds like an undefeated streak...It reminds me to someone...GONG!!!!

Hope you like it. I will take more photos of the rest of my TMNT collection
and if you like this to the rest of my Batman animated stuff. Thank you for your time.

Nice collection, especially the TMNT portion!

I actually have a couple of those Batman figures... I purchased them locally when I saw what they sell for on eBay, which is a helluva lot for such small figures. I was going through a bit of a Batman craze and well, needless to say, went overboard as I usually do. I typically prefer the more modern, articulated figures for Batman.

Thanks a lot. Good luck with the poly bags. The Technodrome is indeed the crown jewel. I do have the Sewer Playset. I bought it in 1999 (ten years after it was made) misb. I opened see if all the contents were right but never assembled it. I didn´t have enough space in my room to have it assembled.
I will take more photos of what I call the "big fishes" (Turtle party Wagon, Mutant Module, Turtle Copter" and many more) today.
I am glad that you like my Batman animated collection too.

I was a big fan of the Animated series of Batman. I had some of the figures too. Still have my batman and robin. haha. I always thought it would be cool to collect the distinct characters (instead of the multitude of Batman figures they released with different color schemes.)... Solid collection there for sure man!...

I especially love your turtle collection. I haven't seen some of the boxes you have there. So thanks for posting the pictures!

Very cool

Well guys, finally my collection´s core.

I believe that a collection cannot consist in moc only. So here you have my loose figures from my childhood. Miss those days so much...

The good guys. Casey Jones is a 1994 reissue. I never get the 1989 original version. I finally bought it moc in 2007.



The bad guys.







And a mix of the two. Can they coexist peacefully?






More Tmnt vehicles. Except the ones I mentioned that I got from my childhood the rest are misb
Turtle Party Wagon and two accesories





Mutant Modules. No, you are not seeing double. I always wanted to have two of these ones are they are both misb. I have explained why here

http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=29431



Sewer dragster & Psycho Cycle. The toybox art in these ones is great.

[Bill]

This box holds the boxed vehicles








More medium size vehicles...





A couple of moc figures. 1990 reissue Bebop and 1989 Leatherhead.

[Bill]

My Batman animated series vehicles. Except for the Batplane, and the Jokermobile the rest are misb. The Robin Dragster is the “scratch” of this toy line. The story says that there was a fire in the toy manufacturer and the mold of this vehicle was burnt, therefore it became very rare and expensive.
















Some Batman Animated Series characters that were made in
the Justice league Unlimited toy line.

[Bill]

Batman animated trading cards.





I got still more things from the Batman Animated like The Batcave and the figures 4 packs and from the Turtles like the Sewer Playstet, the Blimps and of course the Technodrome. Wish you like the photos.
