Action League POW!

Today is my birthday, but since I won't see most of my family until Thanksgiving, I haven't much new swag to brag about (although I did get an epic Batman coffee mug, a JLA magnet and some superhero pins from my oldest daughter! Woot woot!)

But a stop at Big Lots today revealed some Batman: The Brave and the Bold Action League single packs, and I bought one for myself. Happy Birthday to me:

This Batman is clearly inspired by the Michael Keaton movie costume, which is irresistible to me because that's when my Batmania hit fever pitch.

Big Lots also had Batman in this same color scheme with a re-breather on his face (for underwater adventures) and a Plastic Man in Plas' normal colors. The pegs were full of a ton of each of the three, so I assume those are the only ones in the series that's hitting Big Lots but who knows.

I only grabbed this one, but will likely go back for the others soon. They are fun solid little toys and cute as all get-out. I don't know if this Bat figure in this color scheme is a new repaint or if he appeared in any set thus far (I haven't bought any of these Action League figures until now,) but he was only $2.80 so I consider it a pretty good deal for a cool little Batman!
