NECA DC Ben Cooper Action figures
Likely 6”

I don't have a ruler handy but they're smaller than 6"-- Neca has released about a dozen of these Halloween figures and they sell out immediately. These are great-- you'll likely have to buy a full set when they hit pre-orders if the previous releases are any indication. I love the early releases from the line-- they did a set from the 80s that didn't interest me but this wave is great!

I think the reason they’re smaller than 6 inches is because they are kids - they would still be 1/12 scale, I believe.

Wow! I love these too. These are something that could even force me to pay Ebay prices to make sure I get.

I want!!!

[AndyFish]

Randy you won't have to pay eBay prices-- if they follow the trajectory of the rest of the line, they'll be up for pre-order at BBTS, AmokTime, Entertainment Earth, NecaOnline and the like. They'll sell out fast but they'll be available.

I manged to find the Gillman from this line in Target during the last wave. They're super fun!

[AndyFish]

Nice score, Ben, I have a friend who would climb mountains for that one-- one of the harder ones to find.

As I I've said before I don't actually collect anymore but these Ben Coopers really have my attention, especially since I had the Batman costume back in '72 and a school chum had the Joker one. It's really bringing back the memories. I have to also admit the Corgi '66 Batmobile reissues have slightly sparked something in me as well. Those were truly magical times bar none.

They actually had two that day, I had zero idea that they were scarce, otherwise I would have snagged both as a few folks have mentioned that they have been searching to no avail.

A few new pictures of Neca Batman figure.
Love the box. Notice the size callout like the Ben Cooper costume box.
The mask seems a little off to me, but I still love this figure.

You’re not wrong, Randy. the Batman mask seems a little angrier than the Ben Cooper mask. I think it also would’ve been cool to have included the little mouth slot in the masks, but, all-in-all, these are very fun figures.

[AndyFish]

There are so many variations on the mask-- I think they nailed the original '66 release.

[rsaffle]

Interesting...I never really noticed the differences. I think this is the version that I have and is probably my favorite.

Love that Dracula art on Andy's original box. lol

[AndyFish]

I have a bunch of the ones you have, Randy- those are late 70s-80s.
In a conversation I had with Ira Cooper a couple of years ago I asked about it saying BATMAN on the top of his head-- it was so parents and adults would know who you were supposed to be when you came Trick or Treating. Of course!

[Lou Szabo]

So often adults ask “so who are you supposed to be?”


It would be an interesting conversation regarding the evolution of the costumes from playsuits to the fire-retardant costumes. Batman went through several costume changes
