Action Figure #891: Mattel DC Premier Batman (Mr. Freeze three-pack)

 More Batman, more colors... more money for Mattel, I guess.

 Yet another Batman recolor. Let's get on with it.

 It's the same Batman sculpt as before, only with a utility vest instead of a utility belt. It's not very well thought-out because it has four pegs in front but there's no way it can hold four accessories due to the limited space between them. As for the recolor itself, it's black and white but with a more tactical color scheme. That's it.

 He comes with the same assortment of tools as the basic Batman figure, meaning batarangs, mines, flashbangs, etc, but in a rather neat translucent orange plastic. He also comes with orange armguards and a big blaster gun with four projectiles.

 The orange arm-guard come with spikes, and they don't go over the ones on his gloves, so they don't make sense or look very good on Batman... although they do look better on other figures.

 Articulation is the same as with the other three figures I got: He has single jointed elbows that go slightly beyond 90 degrees, double jointed knees, swivels on his thighs, boots and waist. For the price, it's not even half bad, it's comparable to their old DCUC line, considering how pathetic that diaphragm hinge was. He is a bit taller than Bucky Cap.

 I grew up in the 90's, Batman recolors were my jam. But not only is this recolor rather lame, but you are forced to buy him if you want Mr. Freeze and/or Hal Jordan, making me kinda dislike him even more. So it's not like he is a bad figure, he has the same sculpt as the other Batmen after all, but there's no reason to want to get this one other than being forced to because you want the other two figures.
