BTAS: The Rogues

After nearly losing the BTAS/TNBA line due to numerous "Neon Camouflage Rubber Duck Armor Batman" figures, Hasbro has decided to revisit the original Batman: The Animated Series on the eve of its tenth anniversary with a new page from its rich history. In a move that is sure to please kids and collectors alike, Hasbro has announced plans to continue the classic figure line with a new line devoted entirely to the villains of Gotham City, a line dubbed simply "The Rogues." The line will add some long-awaited characters that were never made in the original line. The most exciting news, however, is the announcement that the second and third waves of the line will feature several new figures that never appeared on the animated show, but that have a significant place in the history of Batman. Consulting with producers Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, Hasbro has come up with a classic mix of villains from the comics and has weaved them into the BTAS universe as if they were there all along. Of course, it wouldn't be a Batman line without figures of Batman and Robin, and Hasbro has added a two-pack featuring a variant of each to the first wave. These variants, however, unlike previous ones, make perfect sense and are a welcome addition to the line.

Working with toy designers Fred Aczon, and Brad McCurry, Hasbro has assembled a formidable force to oppose the heroes of Gotham.

Wave Two - The New Rogues

Blockbuster
Mark Desmond was a scientist with a brilliant mind but a weak body. While he developed a serum to make his body become strong, it inadvertently made his mind to become weak. Now a brainless behemoth, Blockbuster teams up with Bane to see if the two of them can break Batman once and for all. Comes with a boulder and breakable safe.

 

 

Mr. Zsasz
Victor Zsasz, the cold-blooded murderer who slashes his own body for every victim he kills, is here to try to add at least one more mark, one for the Dark Knight himself. Comes with butcher knife and straitjacket.


  Black Mask
A villain who is Bruce Wayne's enemy instead of Batman's, Roman Sionis arrives with a slightly different color scheme than in the comics, but keeping the classic "gangster" look. Comes with a pistol and a Tommygun.
 
Deadshot
Floyd Lawton is quite possibly the world's best marksman, and now he turns his sights on Batman. Comes with a rifle for that extra bit of firepower.
  Cluemaster
Arthur Brown stole his schtick from the Riddler, but his look is all his own. Comes with clues and money bags. The finished version should also sport the stylish scarf that he normally wears.
