Channel Your Animated Batman With This Batman Grapnel

So many Batmans, so many toys. We all have our preferred Batman (and his toys), but I think we can all agree that Batman: The Animated Series is one of the most beloved, and so is the Batman grapnel launcher.

If you haven’t seen Batman: The Animated Series, then you may want to rectify that. Here’s some valuable (potentially spoiler-ridden, though) reading before you get into it (or if you want to refresh your memory).

The Batman grapnel launcher is arguably his most iconic gadget (the Batarang says hello), and I am sure you have had what I call Batman dreams wherein you take on his identity. Swinging around in Gotham. Throwing Batarangs. Posing the mandatory pose atop a turret.

While you may not be able to scale a building or swing from one edifice to another in real life, having a Batman grapnel launcher at home is still uber cool.

Whether you are the kind of collector that doesn’t open toys and keeps them in mint condition, or you are the type who likes actually playing with them, this prop replica deserves to be in your collection.

It’s a full-sized replica — more than 7 inches long. It also includes a motorized spool that makes it more realistic by shooting out the grapnel hook and automatically retracting the rope (and hook) after you fire it.

We should be getting it this September, so pre-order for $39.99 (less $10 than the usual price) now.
