For kids and parents:
These batman 4-packs remain a good value for the money with lots of play value and accessories. Individually you'd be charged about $6 a figure. Basic superhero fun. 2 good guys. 2 bad guys. the figures themselves are pretty tough and can take a lot of abuse from younger kids. If your child needs more bad guys for batman you could find a set called the rogues gallery on ebay which has 8 bad guys you can't find any more. It originaly retailed for around $60 and I wouldn't pay much more than that. You could find a deal for around $40. You could break the set down and give them to your child over a period of time. the other 4 packs on amazon are also a relatively good deal for the money. do a search for batman in the toys section.

In this set you get a batman/bruce wayne, a nightwing, a killer croc, and a ventriloquist/scarface figure. based on the new batman/superman cartoons and comics the figures are relatively simple styled and relatively non-violent with the exception of scarfaces' gun, which is part of the figure. The blade weapons for batman aren't sharp and could be trimmed off for a non-violent censorship if that's your thing. the pieces are small so I wouldn't give these to any kid who still puts things in their mouth.

The first three are all repaints and re-releases of previous figures. the last one is availible only in this set. the batman/bruce wayne comes with a removabe mask and cape and two blade type weapons/gloves that fir over his hands. You also get a trenchcoat so you can have a bruce wayne disguise or a batman figure. the nightwing comes with a big logo shield he can hold and a spring loaded grappling hook. The "killer" croc is a crocodile man with a spring loaded arm for punching and a pet crocadile. the ventriloquist holds the dummy scarface puppet and his tommygun permanantly attached. his body seems more fragile than the other figures.

For collectors:
Batman and nightwing are based on new adventures while the croc repaint and scarface are based on the animated series. the batman is a re-release of the orange coat undercover bruce wayne only the coat is grey.
the nightwing is the standard only with a darker chest logo.
the croc is the old grey croc painted green with a painted tongue and pupils in his eyes.
the ventriloquist has a great head sculpt based on the first animated series and is only articulated at the head, shoulders, and waist. His legs are spread wide to help balance him as he holds scarface. his body and legs are of a hard non pliable plastic. he can only hold scarface so that he is looking to the left of the ventiloquist. One hand slides inside scarfaces back and the other holds his legs underneath. Unfortunately scarface is not articulated at all and has a weak blue tan colorscheme. Would be nice if new license holder busted out some new figures and sculpts of entire line as they actually appear in the series.

...thanks I hope this helped you.

Sure, it sounds like a GREAT value with a sale price of less than $6.00 for this 4-pack, but don't be fool. TRU isn't really charging this low. What you may not notice until it's too late, is that the shipping is calculated so that this item has to be shipped by itself and not included with anything else bought, making you pay MORE for the shipping of the item than the cost of the item itself! Think if you buy multiple of this item that you will save on shipping? NO, you WON'T! I suspect TRU does this on several other items as well. The snuck the extra shipping charges on me, and even shipped the item WITH the other items I purchased.
