Knight Star Batmobile

Knight Star Batmobile



This piece of crap needs no introduction. While it's nice to have some neon Batmen once in a while, this is the worst thing ever. Not only it mocks a good mold (For more detailed review see Legends of Batman Batmobile), but IT CAN'T FIT THE FIGURES FROM THE LINE.



The worst thing about this mold is that it doesn't sit Batmen that have posed legs. I might have to recant that statement later on and I think with a little work you can push in a Power Kick Batman, but remember how it wouldn't fit Knightsend Batman? Well, let's try something similar:



NOPE! Your princess is in another castle.



Other than being a f*cking eye-sore, this hunk of plastic is nothing but a waste of space. It might be worth mentioning that the decals are different than LoB Batmobile's decals, but that is its other difference. I think y'all should avoid this one.



Final thoughts: Knight Force Ninjas is a very fun, dynamic line for kids, at least back in the day. I don't know if anyone has seen those hideous Mattel Evergreen line figures that have no articulation and just exist to take up shelf space and be annoying. THIS is what they should have done in the first place. Figures with no articulation are useless and don't sell well. This line may have been a hit or miss with collectors, but it's FAR SUPERIOR THAN ANYTHING BEING OFFERED TODAY...in the kids market, that is. This is back when toys used to be fun and when Batman had a presence in toy shelves, not those sorry excuses for figures that Mattel makes.

Next up I'm gonna be tying up some loose ends, some transitional reviews, and then we will be looking at a certain movie line...Thanks for watching and I'll see you back in 1995!

Knight Blade Batman

Knight Blade Batman



The Riddler is driving a criminal band of combat experts to eliminate the Dark Knight, but Batman is on a quest o dismantle the evil establishment form the top down. A master combatant, Knight Blade Batman’s swordfighting skills are certain to leave The Riddler perplexed and beaten.

YAYYY! In package pics! I only very recently got this awesome figure. Arguably the rarest one in the entire line and very last one out, it's taken me several years to get this. Finally I found one under $20 and since nobody is really looking for these figures it was an opportunity to be seized. As you can see that's the wave 2 packaging and they no longer use lenticular cards on the outer insert. Every figure had a cool scene on the back as I explained on Power Kick Batman's review.



This is a very cool figure clad in classic Batman colors, but he's wearing a harness and has a bunch of interesting weapons. This is the closest second to Power Kick Batman that you'll get for a normal Batman in this line.The figure's action is relatively simple: The peg on the left arm twists the wrist, not unlike Legends of the Dark Knight's Penguin. Really the simplest figure in the line.



While his legs are already posed, his arms have a lot of free range movement thanks to ball joints and bicep cuts. His waist also rotates 360 degrees. This allows him to use all his weapons freely and make some cool poses.



All the weapons have pegs and can be stored on the figure's wings, and the dagger can be stored on the back of the figure's belt.



"Come at me, bro"

A pleasant surprise, the final figure of this line turned out to be one of my favorites. Again, this figure is rather rare, so if you find one under $20, kudos to you! I've reviewed every figure of this line except for the Karate Fighters Batman vs Joker. I will not be reviewing that as I don't consider them to be actual "figures" as is my definition. Next up and final KFN review is probably the lowest point of the line: The Batmobile.

Tornado Blast The Riddler

Tornado Blast Riddler



While Batman struggles to defeat the evil gang of street fighters, one of his greatest enemies is ready to join the contest. Outfitting himself in a techno-power battle suit, The Riddler has a few new tricks hidden up his sleeves…

Kind of an annoying figure, he can be fun too. Nygma has never been physically stronger, and these weapons are for a full on assault on Batman.



This Riddler is obviously on venom, the tubes say it all. He's also go tons of weapons: A claw, a saw with two molded grenades, and his trademark staff...which is also a rifle. Somebody's been trading clues and games for really dangerous stuff!



The tubes are annoying. He's got several holes all over so you can place the tubes in any way you want, but it's best to just...remove them. His action feature is activated by pushing the button on his mechanical arm, which causes the wrist to spin around.



"Riddle me this, Batman! Guess who is the NRA's newest member??!"



"Guns are the weapons of the enemy. We will not be using them, right Robin?"

"Yeah, we'll stab you to death instead with all manners of pointy things!"



Justice is served...with green eggs and poultry.

Multi-Blast Batman

Multi-Blast Batman



An evil underworld of street fighters is wreaking havoc on Gotham City. In order to combat this criminal crew, Batman cloaks himself in a suit of ultra armor infused with mystical energy. Armed from cape to toe, Multi-Blast Batman packs a lethal power in his hyper-fast punches and kicks. His fists and feet are certifiable weapons, and with them he belts out combat combinations to defeat the legion of vile villains and save the city!

Wow. How very lethal. The most exaggerated Batman EVER, Multi-Blast Batman is a certifiable puppet of the 90's Batstravaganza.



Probably not as exaggerated as the upcoming Square Enix Batman that I hope to never review, this figure is still a fun figure. He's chock-full of details, has shiny armor and can be very fun to play with. Pushing the buttons on his back will make him punch and kick any opponents! Also, the ring on the center can be pulled out so the figure can spin around slicing all sorts of villains in his way!



He also comes with a gun, a baton/dagger thing and a very long sword that he can use to deliver a justice salad. The dagger/baton thing can be placed on the peg in his boot and he can kick around with it.



I probably should have reviewed this massive figure at the end of my KFN reviews, but he is just too much fun. Weird, but fun.

Arsenal Cape Batman

Arsenal Cape Batman



Challenged by an extremist band of street fighters, Batman’s endurance is severely tested. In answer to onslaught, the Dark Knight develops his most amazing device yet: the Arsenal Cape. Within this protective mantle is hidden an entire assortment of weaponry. With Batman’s element of surprise more intensified, the villains of Gotham City better run and hide!

This is gonna be quick review. This is the least articulated figure of the line, and while he has an awesome gimmick and tons of weapons, the colors really don't favor the figure AT ALL.



That doesn't mean it's not cool.



Ta-daaaa! Pushing the lever on its back will make his cape pop out revealing a ton of ninja weapons! Some are molded in i.e. fake, but he can hold four of these.



Two of them are sword, the other two are a sai blade and fourth weapon whose name I don't know.



Not my favorite figure, but that is because of its colors. The figure also feels kind of cheap and the mold is kind of lame, but the cape is cool. I think it could have been better. Oh, and the head moves up and down when the lever is pushed.

Hyper Crush Robin

Knight Force Ninjas


Always a loyal companion of Batman's fight against crime, Robin practices his razor sharp fighting skills against a a punching bag of Gotham City's most fearsome villain: Bane. With his karate chop perfected, Robin aims to help Batman take back the night...

While some may say this is a lazy repaint of Side Strike Robin, this actually manages to hold its own as an individual figure with new weapons and a re-tooled head.



The mother of pear outfit is very strange and eye popping. I have never seen that color on an action figure before, and I gotta say that the colors look good on this figure. The head is a retool with a different mask, and he's not grinding his teeth either.



His action feature is the same as before: Squeeze the legs and he will side chop against a target, this time being a Bane punching bag! The punching bag has a spherical bottom so it bobs around when stricken, striking back at Robin! This is a very cool accessory if you ask me. I want to put it on my Batcave's danger room at some point. In fact all of these figures' accessories should go there at some point. He comes with a multi-nun chuck knife whip thing and a sharp fan that he can hold on the hole in his left gauntlet. He also comes with a knife staff weapon, but I forgot to put it on the picture.



That's what he looks like without his cape.



AND that's the other weapon.



I think this is a cool figure that manages to depart from Side Strike Robin quite a bit as it has cool new accessories.
