Jakks #71960(CAN) Power City Trains - Batman (2014) Pt 2 (The Train)

The Jakks playset is centered on the trains (that is if you go by the playset title). To that end it has a small battery operated engine pulling three cars all splendidly decked-out in Batman graphics - Gotham City celebrates its most famous citizen! Enjoy! Opa Fritz



Engine: 5" (12.7cm) L x 1.25" (2.85cm) W x 1.75" 4.44cm) H






Cars: 4" (10.16cm) L x 1.125" (2.85cm) W x 1.5" (3.81cm) H



Ja Ru 54mm Astronaut Pose #4 - Gray SP

This is the last of the four Ja Ru astronauts in this mini-series. I do believe we'll cover the Tim-Mee Toy Galaxy Laser Team next.

Soooo I'm sitting here looking at that big 'ol wrench and thinking, "Well if the Moon Buggy doesn't work, one good whack on its side with that wrench oughta do the trick!" 😄 Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Ja Ru 54mm Astronaut Pose #3 - Gray SP

Here's the third post in our Ja Ru astronaut mini-series. This one confuses me a bit. Mind you I haven't been researching astronaut suits - just taking photos of toys and posting them - but why does he have a walkie-talkie? Weren't the comm devices built into the suits?? Interesting. Enjoy! Opa Fritz














Jakks #71960(CAN) Power City Trains - Batman (2014) Pt 1

This past year or two has seen more Batman-related toys come into the collection than I've seen in some time. I don't know how I came across this Power City Trains set (I think someone mentioned it in one of the fb groups) but anywho I'm glad to have latched onto one. Prior to this I'd never heard of the 'Power City Trains' series by Jakks and once it arrived I was thinking "Where have you been all my life?" 😄 The set itself was made for distribution to Canada and includes everything you need to start your own miniature Gotham City: Batman, building's, a train, accessories, in loosely 1/64-ish scale - perfect for all those Hot Wheels Batmobiles. Speaking of which, the set does not come with a Batmobile so you need to provide your own. The train is undersized being a bit smaller than HO-scale (1/87 scale), but hey, overall, with a little work and the addition of roads, more buildings, and accessories, this could be turned into an awesome Gotham City diorama.

Today we'll look at the set box and instruction manual. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Ja Ru 54mm Astronaut Pose #2 - Gray SP

Here's the second of four Ja Ru (China) astronaut poses. I like the grabber he's holding. I always called them 'the third hand' and I've got one out in The Cave! Anywho - Enjoy! Opa Fritz
