Batman



The high-end figure manufacturer Tonner came out with a series of oversize characters based on DC Comics.

The Bat
man figure Tonner produced is based on the classic blue and gray uniform Batman dominate in the Silver and Bronze Ages of comic books.

The Tonner Batman figure stands 17 inches tall and is fully articulated and has lifelike features, slight variation skin tones and actual fibers for hair. 

The head sculpt is the most distinctive feature of the figure with its bright blue eyes, chiseled features, full neck articulation and skin tone variations.


The hands look lifelike and twists at the wrists, as do the feet at the ankles.

The entire figure easily poses in various action positions made possible by the accompanying stand and wire support.

The blue and gray uniform is real cloth that fits snuggly and perfectly over the figure with plenty of extra fabric around the various articulation points like the knees and elbows to allow the figure to move freely.

Included with the premium figure are blue Batman gloves that slide over the figures’ hands and fit securely on the lower arms.  Flexible blue knee boots made of vinyl and plastic slide onto the figure’s legs.  The boots include working zippers.

The Batman cowl pulls over the head and features white out eyes and short tapered ears. 

A Bat Symbol against a yellow oval decorates the chest of the figure and a yellow Utility Belt with gold buckle wraps around the figure’s waist securing the blue tights in place.

A full Bat Cape is also included that attaches to the shoulders and is held in place by the Cowl.

Packaging for the figure is a large black lidded box with the DC Stars logo on its lower front.



The figure is held securely in place with linen ribbons, soft foam sheets and the head is covered with a mesh to keep the hair in place.

Bubble packing covers the lower legs.

The boots, cowl, cape, and gloves come in plastic bags secured to the inside of the box as are stand and wire support frame.

The entire contents of the box are covered by tissue paper for protection.

The Tonner Batman figure is a high-end collectible and currently goes for about $250.

Unfortunately Tonner went out of business in late 2018.  Look for Tonner dolls to escalate in price due to their rarity.
