The following Batman prototypes came from a source close to Hasbro, here in Rhode Island. I also have four 5" Batman prototypes as well as prototypes to all three of the 12" G.I. Joe Hall of Fame Mortal Kombat figures. Pages with pictures of these figures will be up soon. E-mail me with any questions or comments at cafewhaa@aol.com

Mr. Freeze
This prototype is an early mock-up version of the Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze 12" figure. Unpainted, white, rubber-like plastic makes up the outer shell and head. All of the outer shell pieces can be easily removed. These pieces bear no markings. Overlying the core body is a grey cloth suit with an iridescent pink abdominal piece. The core body itself is a plain figure that can be easily revealed!
$250


Batman, Flesh
This prototype is a mock-up version of the George Clooney as Batman 12" figure. Unpainted, flesh-tone rubber makes up the body and head. This version has nipples on the chestpiece which are not on the produced version! No markings are noted and the rubber has even been hand trimmed along some edges. Most of the outer shell pieces can be easily removed. Overlying the core body is a black suit to which a machine-stitched black cape is attached. The core body itself is a plain figure that can be easily revealed!
$250


Batman, Brown
This prototype is a more advanced version of the George Clooney as Batman 12" figure. Unpainted, brown rubber makes up the body while grey/blue rubber makes up the head. The outer shell pieces can not be easily removed and the torso and groin piece are glued together. No markings are noted and the nipples are absent from this version. Overlying the core body is a black suit to which the white cape is attached. Most of the stiching on the cape is machine done but a hand-sewn adjustment appears to have been done underneath.

Sold on eBay!


Robin, Flesh

This prototype is a mock-up version of the Chris O'Donnell as Robin 12" figure. Two different types of unpainted, flesh-tone rubber make up the body and head. One type is more orangish and is softer than the hard, tan rubber. This version has nipples on the chestpiece which are not on the produced version! No markings are noted and the rubber has even been hand trimmed along some edges. There are also areas that are shaved down perhaps to make him look less muscular. The head is smaller than the head on the more advanced Robin prototype below. Most of the outer shell pieces can be easily removed. Overlying the core body is a black suit to which the black cape is attached. The core body itself is a plain figure that can be easily revealed!

Robin, Blue

This prototype is a more advanced version of the Chris O'Donnell as Robin 12" figure. Unpainted, blue rubber makes up the body while flesh-tone rubber makes up the head. The outer shell pieces can not be easily removed and the torso and groin piece are glued together. The nipples are absent from this version. The head is larger and firmer that the head on the Robin prototype above. The figure is marked on the back: 1997, DC Comics, Kenner, Made in China. Overlying the core body is a black suit to which the white cape is attached. Most of the stitching on the cape is machine done but a hand-sewn adjustment appears to have been done underneath.
