I previously covered the Observatory Playset for Kenner's Microverse line a few years back. I noted at the time that it was a little sad they only included two figures with the set - Batman and Mr Freeze. They actually released this set of all the heroes and villains as 1.5cm tall figures (sadly no Gordon or Alfred!).
At this scale, the paint work and sculpting is extremely tiny and limited. I'm kind of annoyed at them bulking out the box to make it look like you're buying something bigger.
It is still fun though to see how they translated them down to this scale. I feel they maybe went a little too small - this is the kind of thing you'd have lost in seconds if you were a young kid.
I have some similar set for Star Wars and Star Trek and those figures and playsets are much larger and substantial. Oh well, at least my Observatory set is more fuller now. I just wish Kenner had stuffer the playset with these figures to start with rather than making you buy them separately.
