Batman toys have been unleashed in many fruity flavours,
exotic colours and obscure variants of the caped crusader. And, there’s the
extra cheese too… So much for stealth whilst crimefighting at night!
The Batman Beyond (branded Batman of the Future in Europe) TV series surfaced around the late 90’s into
2000-01 and launched many toys in support. The great thing about the Batman
Beyond concept is the whole futurology of Batman taken to a new level. New
gadgets, new costumes - and new hi-tech vehicles!
Futuristic upon Futuristic…
Freestyle Skate Batman involves ‘Terry’ taking to the
streets in style with what can be best described as a skateboard homage to the
Batmobile.
The skateboard has two spring loaded functions situated at
both the front and back. The back is a launcher to fire the skateboard forward
and the front launcher fires a missile.
The actual Batman figure that rides the skateboard is the
weaker part of the set. Whilst Batman looks like Batman even in a shade of
royal blue, he is very limitedly articulate and stuck in the same stance.
The color scheme for this toy is not really ideal. A correct
palette for the Batman and his batmobile skateboard would have made a bigger
improvement all round. A green and grey downscaled ‘batmobile’ just does not
seem right.
The skateboard itself is stable and holds the Batman figure
well when fitted on. Batman, even without a crash helmet is guaranteed a stable
ride when launched across the kitchen table of doom. Very much a plus!
Overall, this is an ok set. Like a pair of scissors, the
skateboard and figure are somewhat hopeless without each other. It is best not
to lose either item in transit whilst fighting against Blight and the Jokerz. A
good package if you can find one on eBay, but only at a fair price.
