Kenner Toy Catalog 1994

Still riding a Batman and Jurassic Park high, Kenner added Legends of the Batman, and new lines The Shadow, Predator, and Techno Zoids joined the Action Toy line-up. Neither of these three lines would make a huge splash -- however the next year in 1995 Star Wars would return to Kenner in the form of Power of the Force 2.

I wish kenner didnt pick silver for that batmobile. Love its design. This is okay to call long ago, id say. Adding 10 more years and im in kidhood. So weird how it goes by. We were warned too. I didn't try to do anything about it.
No awesome adventures or anything like that.

It goes by sooo fast. The last decade feels like I blinked and it just disappeared. At this point in the 1990s Kenner was just re-issuing Batmobiles. I don't know if this one got reissued in another color though. It makes sense from a business POV -- parents are more likely to buy a new Batmobile that looks different without necessarily realizing it's the same Batmobile they bought two years ago. This was the year before Power of the Force 2, so Batman was their cash cow in this era.

I must have been learning to cherry pick at this time. Only a few figures i remember picking up from this one lol

[@TitularHeroine]

Wow, those Shadow vehicles are all really slick. I get now too why the Shadow figures were 5" -- all that cross-play with popular Batman lines.
I still have a Stalker Predator, and he fits right in with my MotU knockoffs. Warlord, some Galaxy Warriors, Blackstar, even Atari's Primal Rage Chaos Yeti.

Not gonna lie -- I regularly look at those Shadow figures & toys on Ebay and debate picking a few up for the Kenner Super Powers/Batman shelf because they blend so well and would be good for custom fodder for those lines.

I remember I got The Predator Cracked Tusk he looks so cool in packaged but when I took it out of package and that 5 point articulation it wasn't really intimidating as much as it looked like he was waving hello

[@RetroToyPrincess]

Kenner seemed overly attached to 5POA, even in cases where a case-by-case situation would've worked better -- especially since Super Powers & MASK had featured extra articulation and were among their more fondly remembered lines from the mid-to-late 1980s.

I've decided that Face Hugger Queen™ will be the perfect stage name, in celebration of having gotten rid of, uh, Killer Crabs™. Thanks, Kenner!!

[@RetroToyPrincess]

Face Hugger Queen ... I am picturing so much in my head that it would be an EPIC stage name. Do eet.
