The second Vinyl Invaders Robot by Funko has been announced, and this time it’s DC’s Dark Knight, Batman! I’m more than a little surprised Funko didn’t lead off its newest toy line with Batman instead of Gene Simmons of Kiss. It seems like utilizing the broad marketing power of a DC Comics super hero is a much better way to introduce a new toy platform than an aging rocker. But what do I know!?!
Inspired by Japanese super-mecha and super shogun figures from the 1960s, these 11” Vinyl Invaders robots come dressed in Batman’s classic blue and gray outfit, feature two points of articulation and are packaged in a full color window box. The Batman Robot is scheduled to go on sale July 2012 and can be pre-order from Entertainment Earth here for just $35.99.
