Batman & Robin Merchandise Review - Thermal Shield Batman figure from Kenner

I've done so many review videos I've sort of lost track what I've covered (hence the error in this video where I start comparing it to Rooftop Pursuit Batman figure which I bought ages age and assumed I already covered).

Anyway, Thermal Shield is a pretty fun figure. I like the big mask that flips down over his head and the sculpting on the figure itself is one of my favourites. 

I don't know if the hole on Batman's head really is for the missile but it does make for a hilariously goofy look when you put it there.

News: Hot Toys releases promo photos for Batman & Robin figures

Well, the title says it all. Hot Toys just released these promo shots of the forthcoming Batman & Robin figures. 

Got to say these look pretty perfect. Love that we're getting so many gadgets and interchangeable jaws for Batman. 

Robin feels a microscopic step down from the Forever version. The face just doesn't quite feel right.

Will definitely be getting both of these regardless.

Neon Knight Forever audiobook - read by Drew Griffin

Once again Drew Griffin has provided us with another audiobook. This it's time it's Tomasz Zaglewski's Neon Knight Forever book that charts the evolution of how Joel Schumacher's Batman duology has been perceived by fans and critics over the last 30 years. 

Check out my review here.

Also if you enjoy this recording, I'm excited to say Tomasz's book is coming out in paperback in June 2025 - just in time for the 30th anniversary of Batman Forever. 

Pre-order your copy here for UK or here for US.
