This week we're looking at the Ice Fortress playset from Kenner.
"But Mr Freeze didn't have an Ice Fortress in the film!", I hear you say. Fair point, but I always love Kenner when they go off script and invent new stuff that wasn't in whatever film they're adapting. They were great at that sort of thing and it always made for great story telling adventures as a kid.
There's not a whole lot to the set. It's primarily a few bits of translucent blue plastic that click together. There's a disc firing cannon in the middle, a couple of white cannons that fire green missiles and some swivelling guns too.
I do love that they included a new backpack and hand missile for Batman - anticipating that kids who buy the set will likely have other figures already.
I recognised the backpack thing from the Crime Squad Animated Series line (it even still has the logo on the picture on the front). The fire missile is from the Azrael figure from the Legends of Batman line. Got to love how Kenner recycle things.
There's also some mines and grenades too (sorry, ice grenades and freeze mines). But to be honest, you'll probably lose them.
