Kenner 1997 #64276 Batman & Robin Batcave Micro Playset - Pt 3

We're wrapping up our look at the Kenner 'Batman & Robin' Batcave MicroVerse playset by highlighting its operating features. This is a set packed with secret chambers and hidden escape routes and includes the Batmobile and Freezemobile to ensure the action is non-stop. So, on to the action - Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina



High atop the watch tower, waiting for Commissioner Gordon to flash the Bat Signal



Batman and Robin both have private chambers - dressing rooms?





The bottom cave module has three distinct partitions: Mr Freeze's Ice Chamber, the Batcave, and the Museum

 

The Ice Chamber door raises and lowers to allow egress of the Freezemobile



The vehicle elevator has the most action. There are two vehicle storage holders which are manually raised and lowered


Let's walk through the action.

The Batmobile is parked in its bay and the elevator is on its way up the shaft


The elevator has been raised...


...and with a clockwise turn is locked into place




The vehicle storage holders are raised into position...


...and the Batmobile rolls onto the elevator platform


Turn the platform counter clockwise and lower...


...so that the vehicle can exit via the ramp




There is a slot in the back wall to give the Batmobile a nudge out of the shaft



The Museum floor is in place


Remove the floor...


Place the Freezemobile on the elevator platform (this was designed for the Freezemobile - the Batmobile is too long to fit in the shaft)


...lower the platform


Replace the Museum floor and the Freezemobile is ready for its escape


lift up on the tab to raise the platform and...


...the Freezemobile makes its exit


There's a tab on the back wall as well to raise the Museum elevator

Kenner 1997 #64276 Batman & Robin Batcave Micro Playset - Pt 1

Back around the 1996-97 time frame, Kenner put out a bunch of playsets in their MicroVerse line of toys. They were about HO scale and packed a lot of bang for the buck. Toys and Stuff featured the Bluebird (UK Kenner)  'Batman Forever' Batcave Power Centre on Oct 14, 2012, a compact Batcave in a carrying case shaped like Batman's head, and it is loaded with play value. The Batcave featured here today is a little more fleshed out, definitely bigger, but still a fully loaded compact playset. There's so much going on with this set that we're going to break it down into a two-part post starting with the figures and vehicles. As always - Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina

My box is somewhat battered - no rips or major tears, but crinkly and bent all out of shape.









The figures are all ca3/4" (1.9cm) H
