Batman 12-Back AFA 70, Super Powers by Kenner 1984
Batman – 1984 Kenner Super Powers Collection (AFA 70)
Series 1 | 12-Back | Fan Club Offer Variant
The Dark Knight takes a bold stand in Kenner’s iconic 1984 Super Powers Collection! This graded Batman figure, sealed on a 12-back card with Fan Club Offer, features the unique “Power Action Bat Punch”—a gimmick that comes to life when his legs are squeezed, unleashing a classic right hook worthy of Gotham’s greatest detective.
Graded AFA 70 (EX+), this vintage treasure still retains strong shelf presence, with clean bubble clarity and bright card colors that honor the visual legacy of Bronze Age Batman.
🔍 Collector’s Insight & Trivia:
-
This figure is based on José Luis García-López’s definitive style guide artwork, which became the standard for DC licensing throughout the 1980s and 90s.
-
The packaging art reflects Batman’s Pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths comic book design, complete with blue cape and cowl—distinct from the darker tones popularized by The Dark Knight Returns in 1986.
-
The cape is removable cloth, a nod to the Mego era, and one of the few times this look was retained in a non-removable molded cape age.
-
This version includes the “Fan Club Offer” sticker, a variant often hunted by Super Powers completists. The mail-away offer for a DC Fan Club membership and goodies like a newsletter and button was only available during the first release window in 1984.
-
Despite being a key player in DC’s trinity, Batman was never reissued on later cardbacks in this line, making this 12-back his definitive release in the Kenner SP line.
-
Batman came packaged with a mini comic that featured team-ups and quick action vignettes, making these figures double as gateway stories for young fans of the DCU.
Whether you’re a Batman aficionado, a vintage toy archivist, or a fan of Kenner’s Super Powers line, this piece is a cornerstone of superhero toy history—and one that defined how Batman would be packaged, posed, and powered for years to come.
