SCORE!

Went out of my way to hit up Target tonight, just to see if I could find some of the Imaginext single packs a few folks have been whispering about in toy forum circles.

Well, Booyah boys and goils:



I snagged Mr. Freeze (who I have been eying ever since he popped up in his original pack with some sort of refrigeration unit,) Batman in black and grey, and Two-Face!

The only other single pack figures that were there was the Penguin, whom I left for another day and the Joker, whom I already own.

They are $3.99 each. I think a better value would be $2.99, but not a bad deal for a figure and an accessory. You get more plastic from these than with DCIH, so there's a better value already!

So now I'm officially collecting Batman themed Imaginext toys. Tune in soon when I have these bad boys opened up and set up with my old school Fisher-Price circus train!

Oh yeah, and then there's this coming soon which I just heard about today (picture stolen from eBay:)



I'm screwed.

By the way, I'm pretty sure that "3-8" means "38," which gives me a few more years to enjoy these before I'm too old ;)

  1. I have been tempted on the bat cave dozens of times. I saw it once for 50 percent off and some how resisted!

  2. Those toys are pretty neat! Wonder what other heroes and villains will be coming out for the line?

  3. Those single packs are pretty neat, I might be giving this line a second glance.

  4. I bought a couple of these guys, the blue & gray Bats and the Batcycle pack, and absolutely love them. I'm not sure what it is about these little guys that make them so irresistible.

    Great finds, Bubbashelby! I hope you find your Green Lantern soon!

  6. Dan - if I had the room, the Batcave would be mine. I've seen some good sales on it too!

    jboy - I sure hope they put some effort behind this line - and continue to release the figures in singles - if so I'm in for the long haul!

    CB - They're worth the glance for sure.

    Thanks Reis! There's nothing more irresistable than a cutesy vigilante.

    LEon - the single packs are Target exclusives (as singles) but they are just repackaged from the sets that all Toys R Us and other toy sellers etc. have had for a while now.
