<a href="http://www.toonzone.net/news/btan/">Batman: The Animated Newsletter</a>, which I co-edit, recently published an interesting ediiton of Figure This Out, the action figure section. The section included an indepth run down of the new Shadowcast BatCave and Lois Lane 4 Pack. Here we go...
Another version of the standard Batcave has been released but with a twist! The good people at Hasbro felt thought, "What good is a Wayne Manor/Batcave without a butler to help take care of it?" This latest version of the Batcave (titled a SHADOWCAST BATCAVE) comes with the elusive Alfred figure. Until now, this has only been available as a Toys R us EXCLUSIVE earlier last year in a 4 pack set just like the Commissioner Gordon figure!
The cave is made from the same standard molds used by Hasbro since 1992 when it was first released. The colors have been changed as to separate this year's model from those manufactured previously and the Bat-computer screen stickers have been redone in the new animated style. If you do not already own one of the six different versions of this cave already, now is the time to go out and buy one just so you can get your hands on the ALFRED figure! At a retail price of just $49.99 it's a steal!
They have been offered on eBay for the last few weeks and were selling as high as $80! Save your money and save your time...these will be available through the holiday shopping season. So add this to your want list so Santa or Hanukkah Harry can put this little ditty under your tree or in front of your menorah!

Staying in line with the limited edition figures, Hasbro has also released an ANIMATED SUPERMAN 4 pack that I have only seen at Toys R Us. I haven't had time to visit my local TARGET yet so I don't know who else might have these. You may want to check K-Marts and Wal-Marts as well. The special edition figure in this package is that nosey report...LOIS LANE!

Sculpted in the animated style, Lois sports a Red skirt with a matching blazer. She comes with her own pad and pen so she can take notes while on assignment. Also included in this box set is a re-painted Superman figure, Lex Luthor and Brainiac.
