DC universe Classics Series 1

Batman heads this first line of figures. The Penguin, Red Tornado, and Etrigan were originally supposed to have variants, which were scrapped at different times. The Penguin's chase robotic

penguin accessories were dropped for cost reasons, while Red Tornado's modern costume and a repainted Etrigan to better reflect the art of Jack Kirby were skipped in favor of getting the second series out as soon as possible. Mattel is looking into ways to get modern Red Tornado released. For some reason, some of the Batman figures are labeled "Crime Stopper," while others are dubbed "Classic Detective." It is unknown if this was a variant or a running change. Along the same lines, the first shipment of figures showed the classic Red Tornado on the back of the package, while the second shipments showed the modern incarnation.!
