>>9985857In my childhood naivete I wondered why I couldn't just go to KB Toys and pick up a new one. I'd like to be able to say Kenner made a huge mistake not keeping the core figures available for people throughout the line's run, but I'm sure they made so much money they didn't care.
You know which Batman ended up being my standard one? The one with the damn lightning bolts all over it. I took the cape from one of my other Batmans and then I covered all the lightning bolts with a sharpie. It did not look good but at least it was a (by a child's standards) all black Batman action figure which was the next best thing to a gray one. And I know they did a real all black batman for the line that had some awesome movie-like greeble on him but I never found that one in the store either.
