This costume design is actually somewhat prescient; it's similar to something Frank Miller did in his classic BATMAN: Year One series. A street level first draft.

Redbox Batman definitely looks like he could find a place in a Tarantino film ; ) . Fantastic vid!

Ha! Gimp man!

My rule of thumb; If you can strip it down to its underwear, or non-anatomical core, it's a DOLL. Original G.I. Joe, doll. Johnny West, action figure. Not all Megos are dolls, I consider masked characters to be action figures since that can't be stripped down beyond their character. You can dress up Spiderman in the Joker's suit, but he's still Spiderman, while Superman can be anybody depending on how you dress him. In the end, it doesn't matter what you call them. They are all fun.

OMG -- thank you! At the bottom right corner of the ad at 3:34 there's a description of a toy I had when I was a kid that I've always dreamed about re-finding, but I never knew the name or even how to search for it; and now I know. Thank you, sir. Oh, also -- good video :)

This just might be my favorite Batman now. And I'd like to think that somewhere in the Multiverse Broadway Musical Superman v Red Box Batman was a thing.

Good Job! Great video! Fantastic find! CONGRATS!

When I was a kid i never played 'army' i was an army builder. Bolstering fortification, enemy subterfuge, ammo storage units, cavalry, airborne, marines, underwater ballistics, detonation experts, cryptics, diagnostics 😀💋😛

I have the oddest feeling that’s meant to represent that ‘60s Batman Helmet produced by Ideal. The shape and position of the ears and the way the lower face cutout… I dunno. Could be I’m just seeing ‘pattern’ when it’s just material/scale limitations. But look that beast of a helmet up and tell me if I’m off-base here, ok? I had one of those stupid helmets back then and it was a real brain boiler! Plus the hard vinyl wasn’t smoothed very well at the neck ring and it cut into you. And yet I kinda wish i had managed to keep it. I have no memory of why or how it went away.

Amazing . Love this knockoff

Looks like it could be an action figure for the 40's Batman serial.

I really love the history lessons that come with the toy collecting. I suppose that has always been one of the lures of "antiquing" though its hard to think of these cheap plastic figures as antiques that our parents or grandparents might have sought (depression glass and fine china etc). I also loved your reference to Tim Burton after you showed us the figure, wondering idly if he might have had this figure with combat boots. I know it is not a new idea in general but I read someone's comment on youtube the other day describing the era of Batman since Tim Burton as "Combat Boot Batman" in contrast to the 50 years prior. Look forward to more episodes!

OMG there is something in that mask that makes me see this figure scariest and more creepy than Leatherface, no jokes.

Good video but just a correction. Hasbro released the original G. I. Joe in 1964, not 1963. Everything else was spot on.

Army boots? Check. Ill-fitting, cheap costume? Check. Clean cut hair cut? Check. Dead, expressionless eyes? Check. He looks like an artist's rendition of a 1960s-70s serial killer. Like Zodiac's nair-do-well brother. He's sort of creepy looking.
