October is starting to look very busy for nerds. We have Red Dead Redemption 2, X-Men Black and now the complete edition of “Batman the Animated Series”. If you grew up in the 90’s this show was a part of your day to day for sure. It introduced us to Harley Quinn, gave us a heart wrenching story line with Mr.Freeze and made us love the line, “And then I threw a rock at him”
The set comes with: seven lenticular art cards, a deluxe art book featuring art from the series and three Funko mini-figures of Batman, the Joker and Harley Quinn. It is currently available for pre-order on Amazon and is limited to 30,000. They have already gone through 2,000 of them.
